The Harlem Renaissance

A sort of artistic golden age the African-Americans, the Harlem Renaissance was a movement in time wherein artists, musicians, poets, actors, and singers of the black persuasion came into bloom without being shot down by oppression. Langston Hughes  among many other African-American artists lived and thrived in this time, using their talents and their voices to tell stories of life, the world, its beauty, or everything ugly about it. At no other point in time before this has the African-American populous ever set out to establish endeavors in art without serious repercussions. The Harlem Renaissance is a tremendously important movement for black people and the artistic world. It was an emerging of culture that took decades to come into fruition.
