Britannica Harlem Renaissance notes

breannawise — 2016-01-20 14:33:41 UTC

Blossoming African American culture, particularly in the reative arts and most influential movement in African American literary history

participants sought to reconceptualize "the Negro" apart from the white stereotypes that had influenced black peoples' relationship to their heritage and to each other

sought to break free of Victorian moral values and borgeois shame about aspects of their lives that might, as seen by whites, reinforce racist beliefs

laid the groundwork for all later African American literature

Not confined by Harlem, New York City, New York

social foundations: great migration, dramatically rising levels of literacy, creation of national organizations dedicating to pressing African American civil rights, and developing race pride

unusual among literary and artistic movements because of its close relationship to civil rights and reform organizations

THE CRISIS - NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People), OPPORTUNITY - NUL (National Urban League, and THE MESSENGER - BSCP (Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters)

Special events were held at the 135th street branch of the new york public library

build on earlier traditions of African American Culture but profoundly affected by trends

African American intellectuals looked at their heritage with new eyes and wanted to reconnect with it though it was misunderstood by both blacks and whites
