The Harlem Renaissance and the "New Negro"

When white soldiers and color soldiers return to their homes from the destruction of World War I, many African Americans finally fight for the country and the democracy that it claims finally at home I believe that I will win complete equality. But they found themselves marching home to fight 'stronger, longer, and more indomitable fight against the forces of hell in our own land' (Du Bois' soldier Return to "). Their struggle against foreign atrocities is only to return to more frightening everyday reality.

So what is the Harlem Renaissance? The simple answer is that the Harlem Renaissance (or a new black movement, or any name is preferred) is the most important event in the 20th century African American knowledge and cultural life. It is known for its literature, but from the end of the First World War to the Great Depression it touched all aspects of African-American literature and artistic creation. From the mid-1920s to the mid-1930s, this movement changed literature, critical writing, music, theater, musicals and visual art, it also influenced political, social development and almost all African American experiences I gave it. All aspects

American visual art and literature were known as Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s and 1930s. Another name for the Harlem Renaissance is a new black movement borrowing the term "new black" created by Alan Leroy Rock (1886-1954) in 1925. These articles represent the belief that African Americans can now remove the legacy of their slavery and define the meaning of African Americans for themselves. Both labels are correct and correct, as the Harlem Renaissance is seeing an explosion of true creative activity in many areas of African-American including art, literature, philosophy. One reason why the Harlem Renaissance is possible is that in the 1920s and 1930s World War I, many African Americans moved from the southern countryside to the northern cities including New York City. African Americans who live in geographically limited areas are increasing more and more, but that naturally stimulates community awareness.
