The Harlem Renaissance took place during a most interesting time in American history. World War I had just ended, and African Americans migrated from the rural South to the urban North, particularly New York City. This migration and the rise of a group of radical black intellectuals talented in the various arts contributed to a movement known as the Harlem Renaissance. This movement brought unprecedented creative activity in writing, art, and music which redefined expressions of African Americans and their heritage.
