Harlem Renaissance

Many African Americans were attracted to northern cities by dreams of a better life. They hoped to escape the poverty and racism of the South. The North offered higher wages and a middle class of African American ministers, physicians, and teachers. Discrimination did exist in the North and African Americans faced low pay, poor housing, and the threat of race riots.

Harlem, in New York City, was the cultural focal point of the northern migration. In Harlem, 200,000 African Americans mixed with immigrants from Caribbean islands, such as Jamaica. Became a gathering place for African Americans to voice concerns about racial problems

Jamaican immigrant Marcus Garvey encouraged black pride. Garvey promoted universal black nationalism and the separation of the races. He founded a “Back to Africa” movement and the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Eventually, Garvey was convicted of mail fraud and deported.

The 1920s was known as the “Jazz Age.” Jazz was a kind of music based on improvisation that grew out of African American blues and ragtime. It began in southern and southwestern cities, such as New Orleans, and brought north by southern African Americans Jazz crossed racial lines to become a uniquely American art form. New Orleans trumpet player Louis Armstrong was the unofficial ambassador of jazz.

Spread by radio and phonograph records, jazz gained worldwide popularity. Duke Ellington was a popular band leader who wrote or arranged more than 2,000 pieces of music and earned international honors. White composers such as Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, and George Gershwin found inspiration in jazz.

Jazz and the blues were part of the Harlem Renaissance, a flowering of African American arts and literature. Langston Hughes, the most celebrated Harlem Renaissance writer, captured the diversity of everyday African American life in his poetry, journalism, and criticism. Zora Neale Hurston published folk tales from her native Florida. Her novel Their Eyes Were Watching God speaks of women’s longing for independence. 8

As the Great Depression began, the Harlem Renaissance came to an end. This artistic movement had a lasting effect on the self-image of African Americans. It created a sense of group identity and solidarity among African Americans. It later became the cultural bedrock upon which the Civil Rights movement would be built. 9
