Since the theme of Black History Month 2024 is Black Americans and the arts, today I'm sharing a bit about the Harlem Renaissance.

Spanning from the 1910's - 1930's it was created as a byproduct of The Great Migration of Black Americans seeking work & freedom from the oppressive Jim Crow South.

"The Harlem Renaissance encompassed poetry and prose, painting and sculpture, jazz and swing, opera and dance.

What united these diverse art forms was their realistic presentation of what it meant to be black in America, what writer Langston Hughes called an “expression of our individual dark-skinned selves,” as well as a new militancy in asserting their civil and political rights." #blackhistorymonth
