Renaissance means rebirth and the Harlem Renaissance was a rebirth of black culture. Originally called the New Negro Movement, the Harlem Renaissance erupted from the migration of African-Americans to the northern cities. Between 1919 and 1926 black Americans left their rural southern states to move to urban cities such as New York City, Chicago, and Washington, DC.
This black urban migration led to a rise of black intellectuals and successful black artists. This movement led to creative activity in writing, art, and music! This movement was a time for black people to explain and define their African-Americans heritage.
