The photo below is a portrait of Louis Armstrong, an American trumpeter, composer, singer and occasional actor who was one of the most influential figures in jazz.

Other musical artists of the time period include Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, and Ray Charles.

He was also a prominent public figure who produced commentaries on culture and race relations in the United States–one publisher later called him “the unchallenged spokesman of the American Negro.”
His first published poem appeared in the magazine in 1921. Langston Hughes wrote this poem honoring Booker T. Washington in 1941. Hughes' poetry and other writings often described the lives and culture of working-class African Americans or themes that concerned that segment of the population. In this poem, the narrator tries to reconcile the reputation of Booker T. Washington as collaborator with white racists with the time period and place.

During this time period it could have been inspirational, and a very big deal for African Americans. It was big because of the booming success Harlem, New York had to offer for young artists. ]]> 2017-11-29 19:00:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kjfeuerborn/orp4minvy63i/wish/211576022 "After You've Gone" by Henry Creamer and J.

African Americans had endured centuries of slavery and the struggle for abolition. The end of bondage had not brought the promised land. But many had envisioned. Instead, white supremacy was quickly, legally, and violently restored to the New South. Where ninety percent of African Americans lived. Starting in about 1890, African Americans migrated to the North in great numbers. This Great Migration eventually relocated hundreds of thousands of African Americans from the rural South to the urban North. Many discovered they had shared common experiences in their past histories. And their uncertain present circumstances. Instead of wallowing in self-pity, the recently dispossessed ignited an explosion of cultural pride. Indeed, African American culture was reborn in the Harlem Renaissance.]]> 2017-12-04 16:48:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kjfeuerborn/orp4minvy63i/wish/212949534 Harlem Renaissance jgschlatter https://padlet.com/kjfeuerborn/orp4minvy63i/wish/212951795
The Democratic whites denied African Americans their exercise of civil and political rights by terrorizing black communities with lynch mobs and other forms of vigilante violence as well as by instituting a convict labor system that forced many thousands of African Americans back into unpaid labor in mines, on plantations, and on public works projects such as roads and levees. Convict laborers were typically subject to brutal forms of corporal punishment, overwork, and disease from unsanitary conditions. Death rates were extraordinarily high. While a small number of blacks were able to acquire land shortly after the Civil War, most were exploited as sharecroppers. As life in the South became increasingly difficult, African Americans began to migrate north in great numbers.


Most of the African-American literary movement arose from a generation that had memories of the gains and losses of Reconstruction after the Civil War. Sometimes their parents or grandparents had been slaves. Their ancestors had sometimes benefited by paternal investment in cultural capital, including better-than-average education. Many in the Harlem Renaissance were part of the early 20th century out of the South into the Negro neighborhoods of the North and Midwest. African Americans sought a better standard of living and relief from the institutionalized racism in the South. Others were people of African descent from racially stratified communities in the Caribbeanwho came to the United States hoping for a better life. Uniting most of them was their convergence in Harlem
