The Harlem Renaissance was a cultural and artistic movement in the 1920s that marked a rebirth of African American culture. It was fueled by the Great Migration, where African Americans moved from the rural South to urban areas like Harlem. This period saw a flourishing of art, music, and literature, with figures like W.E.B. Du Bois and Langston Hughes leading the way. The movement also had a strong political edge, with activists like Marcus Garvey promoting pan-Africanism and black nationalism. The Harlem Renaissance laid the groundwork for future civil rights advancements and left a lasting legacy on American culture.
