Facts about Harlem Harlem has served as the home and key inspiration to generations of novelists, poets, musicians, and actors. Harlem has been home to a variety of ethnic group since the turn of the twentieth century. With the influx of different cultures and races important advances happened in theater, fiction, and music. Called the most significant community in black America, the Harlem borough of New York City was both the cradle of a cultural revolution and the center of the civil rights movement.

InIn the early 1900s, particularly in the 1920s, African-American literature, art, music, dance, and social commentary began to flourish in Harlem. This African-American cultural movement became known as "The New Negro Movement" and later as the Harlem Renaissance. More than a literary movement, the Harlem Renaissance highlighted the unique culture of African- Americans and redefined African-American expression. African-Americans were encouraged to celebrate their heritage. Harlem Renaissance

He was the first black Heavyweightt Champion of the World, In a documentary about his life, Ken Burns said: "For more than thirteen years, Jack Johnson was the most famous, and the most notorious African-American on Earth". [1] [1] Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington was an American jazz composer, pianist, and band leader who has been one of the most influential figures in jazz, if not in all American music.

The Apollo theater celebrates its 75 th anniversary this year. It is referred to as the “Soul of American Culture.” Since its opening, the Apollo has played host to many great acts.
