NYC Harlem became the unofficial capitol of the Renaissance, although many African-Americans moved to Paris at this time due to greater social equality in France. The “Renaissance” or rebirth, refers to the arts that came out of this era: visual, literary, dramatic and musical.

Great Migration pulled African- Americans North, into cities like NYC. Racially restrictive housing laws created a socio-economically diverse area of New York City: Harlem Pro-African-American movements arose like the UNIA (Universal Negro Improvement Association) “You have now with you a new negro,” declared the editor of the Oklahoma City Black Dispatch in addressing a white audience. “This new negro, who stands today released in spirit, finds himself physically bound and shackled by laws and customs that were made for slaves.” Is he then seeking “social equality”? “What we want is social justice,” the speaker went on to say; “none of my race is dreaming of ‘social equality.’” "The negro is satisfied to confine his social aspirations within his own race," affirms the Hot Springs (Arkansas) Echo, “but he does want such political and economic rights as are guaranteed to every law-abiding citizen.” Putting the case still more explicitly, the Houston (Texas) Informer says: “What the colored man demands is ‘social equity.’ He wants the same rights of society that other men and races enjoy; but he does not ask the association and companionship of men or women of other races.”
