Aim: What impact did the Harlem Renaissance have on American society? Do Now: Why did African Americans migrate north during the early 20th century (1900s)?

Reason #1

According to The Crisis records, 77 Negroes were lynched during the year 1919. During the year 1918 64 Negroes were lynched. Georgia still leads with an increase in lynchings; Mississippi takes second place, instead of Texas with 5 more lynchings; the is Alabama. Reason #2

Reason #3

Reason #4 Mobile, Ala., April, 26, 1917 Dear Sir: . . . I am writing to you for advice about coming north. I am a brickmason and I can do cement work. . . . [I need to] make a support for my self and family. There is nothing here [in the South] for the colored man but a hard time which these southern crackers gives us. We has not had any work to do in 4 weeks. Please help this brother. Source: Deirdre Mullane, ed. Crossing the Danger Water: Three Hundred Years of African-American Writing (New York: Anchor Books, 1993), p. 458. Reason #4

"Strange Fruit" Poem by Abel Meeropol in 1939 Southern trees bear a strange fruit, Blood on the leaves and blood at the root, Black bodies swinging in the Southern breeze, Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees. Pastoral scene of the gallant south the bulging eyes and the twisted mouth scent of magnolia sweet and fresh then the sudden smell of burning flesh Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck for the rain to gather for the wind to suck for the sun to rot for the tree to drop Here is a strange and bitter crop

Task: Conduct a gallery walk to understand what the Harlem Renaissance was all about! (the art, the music, the writing…) As you analyze the art pieces, keep in mind our collaborative reading of “Strange Fruit” and visualize/feel the emotions and ideas the authors were trying to convey...
