During this time, Harlem was the largest black community in the world and was considered to the cultural capital of African Americans. The reason this district was so populated is because of the changes that had taken place in the attitude of the African-American community since the abolition of slavery. Another reason to why this community flourished is because of the pull factors of industrialization in the north and the push factors of racism in the south.  This period in the 1920s allowed for the creation and achievement of new forms and genres of music. Traditional jazz was developed and became a significant culture for the people. ]]> 2019-03-10 06:18:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ModestoCitySchools/7hcd0j2sccl7/wish/339636985 377887 https://padlet.com/ModestoCitySchools/7hcd0j2sccl7/wish/339636993 The Cotton Club was a nightclub, or speakeasy, located in Harlem, New York.
