Voices of the Harlem Renaissance

The "Voices of the Harlem Renaissance" refers to the diverse group of African American writers, artists, musicians, and intellectuals during the 1920s and early 1930s in Harlem, New York. Their work celebrated Black culture, explored racial identity, and challenged stereotypes, fostering pride and social awareness. Prominent figures like Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, and Duke Ellington used poetry, stories, music, and art to express their experiences and tell stories rooted in Black life and history. This cultural movement significantly influenced American art, literature, and music, shaping a new sense of identity and defying racial oppression.
