Harlem Renaissance

Harlem, in New York City, was the cultural focal point of the northern migration. In Harlem, 200,000 African Americans mixed with immigrants from Caribbean islands such as Jamaica.

Jamaican immigrant Marcus Garvey encouraged black pride. Garvey promoted universal black nationalism and support of black- owned businesses. He founded a “Back to Africa” movement and the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Eventually, Garvey was convicted of mail fraud and deported.

New Orleans trumpet player Louis Armstrong was the unofficial ambassador of jazz. Armstrong played in New Orleans, Chicago, and New York. His expert playing made him a legend and influenced the development of jazz.

Langston Hughes, the most celebrated Harlem Renaissance writer, captured the diversity of everyday African American life in his poetry, journalism, and criticism. Zora Neale Hurston published folk tales from her native Florida. Her novel Their Eyes Were Watching God spoke of women’s longing for independence. The writings of Claude McKay emphasized the dignity of African Americans and called for social and political change. 5

As the Great Depression began, the Harlem Renaissance came to an end. Yet this artistic movement had a lasting effect on the self-image of African Americans. It created a sense of group identity and soldarity among African Americans. It later became the cultural bedrock upon which the Civil Rights movement would be built. 6
