Abstract

The Harlem Renaissance from 1920 to 1940 brought new attention to the Afro-American literature. While the Harlem Renaissance is based on the Afro-American community in Harlem, New York City, the renaissance and perhaps even the best known of flowering thoughts of Black people in different fields from jazz to theatre came from this part. This migration produced a new sense of independence in the Black community and contributed to the vibrant Black urban culture seen during the Harlem Renaissance. The migration also empowered the growing American Civil Rights movement, which made a powerful impression on Black writers during the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s just as Black authors attempted to address these issues with their writing.
