The primary focus of the Harlem Renaissance was the cultural, artistic, and intellectual revival of African American identity and expression during the 1920s and 1930s. Centered in Harlem, New York, this movement celebrated black culture through literature, music, theater, and visual arts, with notable figures such as Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, and Louis Armstrong emerging as influential voices. The Harlem Renaissance sought to challenge the prevailing racial stereotypes and promote pride in African heritage. It created a rich legacy of artistic works, fostering a sense of community and offering new narratives that highlighted the complexities of black life in America.
