Dive into the Harlem Renaissance, a whirlwind of African American artistry and intellect in the Roaring Twenties! This electrifying era, sparked in Harlem, New York, was more than just a cultural movement; it was a redefinition of African American identity through music, art, literature, and thought. Imagine streets pulsating with jazz and blues, where writers, musicians, and artists forged a new legacy in the aftermath of WWI. It was a time when black pride soared, exemplified by significant parades and the rise of influential organizations like the NAACP and the Urban League. Discover why Harlem, the heart of this cultural revolution, was not just a neighborhood, but a vibrant, black metropolis. Join Dr. Carter as we explore this groundbreaking chapter in American history.
