https://padlet.com/britlucatorta7/harlemrenaissance Between 1920-1930 an unprecedented outburst of creative activity among African-Americans occurred in all fields of art. This African-American cultural movement became known as "The New Negro Movement" and later as the Harlem Renaissance. Harlem attracted a prosperous and stylish black middle class from which sprang an extraordinary artistic center. Like avant-garde movements in Europe, it embraced all art-forms, including music, dance, film, theatre, and cabaret. Harlem nightlife, with its dance halls and jazz bands, featured prominently in the work of these artists. More than a literary movement and more than a social revolt against racism, the Harlem Renaissance exalted the unique culture of African-Americans and redefined African-American expression. African-Americans were encouraged to celebrate their heritage and to become "The New Negro," a term coined in 1925 by sociologist and critic Alain LeRoy Locke. en-us 2018-04-25 01:36:44 UTC 2026-03-03 16:54:27 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/265478805/22eb66466824a5ddf42d1472a5e1da8a/top_5_jazz_musicians_you_need_to_listen.png britlucatorta7 https://padlet.com/britlucatorta7/harlemrenaissance/wish/255088720 The Harlem Renaissance was an African American artistic and intellectual movement that flourished throughout the 1920's ]]> 2018-04-25 03:50:08 UTC https://padlet.com/britlucatorta7/harlemrenaissance/wish/255088720 britlucatorta7 https://padlet.com/britlucatorta7/harlemrenaissance/wish/256121291 Aaron Douglas was an American painter, illustrator and visual arts educator.
