    tumultuous and exciting moments in American cultural history, the harlem renaissance. Through consideration of literature, history, politics, art, and music  
    http://www.georgetown.edu/tamlit/teaching/hathway5.html
    
    Extractions: This is an interdisciplinary upper-division course designed to immerse students in a particularly important historical moment in African American history, the Harlem Renaissance. Depending on the abilities and backgrounds of the participants, each student will be expected to produce an in-depth research paper (15-20 pp., using both primary and secondary sources) on a particular author or issue of prominence during the Renaissance. The students will also assist in conducting class discussion during the day on which the subject of their work is being discussed. At the end of the course, in lieu of a final, students will present their work to the rest of the class DESCRIPTION: This is an interdisciplinary class examining one of the most tumultuous and exciting moments in American cultural history, the "Harlem Renaissance." Through consideration of literature, history, politics, art, and music, we will probe the impetus behind, meaning, and legacy of the period described as the "Harlem Renaissance." Readings focus on literary texts, with careful and considerable attention given to historical and autobiographical contexts. We will attempt to come to our own definition of when the Renaissance started and why. We will explore all aspects of the debate surrounding whether it was, as many critics have argued, a flowering of Black art, or whether it was, as others claim, a period when Black artists allowed their work to be appropriated and exploited. We will examine the products of the Renaissance literarily in relation to Modernism, politically in relation to radicalism, and historically in relation to America in the twenties more generally.

    Extractions: THE HARLEM RENAISSANCE Setting the Stage The Harlem Renaissance is generally regarded as beginning in 1919 following the end of World War I but the confluence of forces that created the atmosphere in which it developed began with the outbreak of war in Europe. The United States was called upon to manufacture munitions and other supplies for the war effort. Many immigrant laborers had returned to fight in their native lands and the war halted the flow of new immigrants. The shortage of workers was filled by the reservoir of black laborers in the South and travel subsidies from industries in dire need of manpower made possible a wholesale migration of over a million and a half black people from the rural south to the industrial north. Many, including 50 thousand blacks from the West Indies, settled in Harlem. At the turn of the century, Harlem had been overbuilt with new apartment houses. Philip A. Payton, a black man in the real estate business, engineered the movement of black people into Harlem by proposing to the landlords to fill those empty apartments with black tenants. It was the first time in the history of New York that black people were offered new housing, and with wages from the newly created industry jobs there was money available for renting and buying. When white neighbors tried to halt the flow of black tenants, Payton created a stronghold by forming the Afro-American Realty Company for the purpose of buying and leasing houses to be let to black tenants. White flight further reduced the housing costs and in this two square-mile neighborhood lived more than two hundred thousand blacks, the highest concentration of black people anywhere on earth.

This renaissance of African-American creativity was as centered on the visual arts as it was on literature and poetry. It was also as much an artistic movement as it was a revolt against racism and a celebration of the African-American culture. Urban migration by African-Americans, combined with the emergence of radical black intellectuals, such as W.E.B Du Bois, Alain Leroy Locke and Marcus Garvey, all helped to create an environment in 1920's Harlem that nurtured the evolution and growth of the Harlem Renaissance. This period helped to create the poetry of Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Houston, while also developing the talents of painters such as William H. Johnson and Jacob Lawrence.

    Extractions: page: The Harlem Renaissance, an African-American literary movement of the 1920s and 1930s, included several important gay and lesbian writers. In African-American literary history, the 1920s and 1930s have been variously labeled the Jazz Age, the era of the New Negro, and most commonly the Harlem Renaissance. Scholars debate the beginning and ending of the period; others question whether a "renaissance" occurred at all. Sponsor Message. Although most commentators agree that this period saw an unparalleled outpouring of artistic achievement and claim that this "movement" was successful in creating foundational steps in the long African-American arts tradition, still others hold that the renaissance was a failure. In recent years, the reading public has welcomed the recuperated literary reputations of many Harlem Renaissance figures as their works have been republished, researched, and studied. It is indeed surprising that discussions of the Harlem Renaissance have not involved in-depth investigations of homosexuality when, in fact, the major male figures of the period were gay or bisexual: Alain Locke, Countee Cullen, Langston Hughes, Claude McKay, Wallace Thurman, Richard Bruce Nugent, and even the famous white sponsor Carl Van Vechten.

    Extractions: History Skill: Interpreting Visual Artifacts; Media Type: Images Quiz Short Answer Project Resources During the 1920s, African Americans migrated in large numbers from the rural South to northern urban industrial centers, increasing the black population of Harlem by 115 percent. As African Americans moved into the neighborhood in the northern part of Manhattan, white ethnic groups moved out, and a diverse black community was born. Harlem housed upper-middle-class African-American doctors and lawyers on a street known as Striver's Row, and it was also home to 1920s dockworkers and new migrants looking for work in factories. Marcus Garvey and his followers paraded the streets of Harlem and, through the United Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), urged African Americans to embrace and return to their African roots. During the mid-1920s, Harlem became a mecca for bohemians of all backgrounds as black artists and intellectuals asserted a new and proud identity for African Americans, termed the New Negro by Alain Locke. African-American writers, artists, musicians, dancers, and scholars rallied around writer Langston Hughes’s assertion “I am a Negro—and beautiful,” infusing their work with a new racial consciousness.

    Extractions: Harlem Renaissance Harlem Jazz Festival 1958 The famed Apollo Theatre in Harlem, New York W hat was the Harlem Renaissance? "From 1920 until about 1930 an unprecedented outburst of creative activity among African Americans occurred in all fields of art. Beginning as a series of literary discussions in the lower Manhattan (Greenwich Village) and upper Manhattan (Harlem) sections of New York City, this African American cultural movement became known as "The New Negro Movement" and later as the Harlem Renaissance. More than a literary movement and more than a social revolt against racism, the Harlem Renaissance exalted the unique culture of African Americans and redefined African American expression. African Americans were encouraged to celebrate their heritage and to become "The New Negro," a term coined in 1925 by sociologist and critic Alain LeRoy Locke One of the factors contributing to the rise of the Harlem Renaissance was the great migration of African Americans to northern cities (such as New York City, Chicago, and Washington, D.C.) between 1919 and 1926. In his influential book The New Negro (1925), Locke described the northward migration of blacks as "something like a spiritual emancipation." Black urban migration, combined with trends in American society as a whole toward experimentation during the 1920s, and the rise of radical black intellectuals — including Locke

    Extractions: (WORCESTER, Mass., December 20, 2002) - From sculptures of African masks to painted scenes of everyday life, the diverse work on view in The Harlem Renaissance and Its Legacy at the Worcester Art Museum, Jan. 18-April 13, celebrates the artistic achievements of African Americans in the 20th century. In the 1920s, Harlem became a creative hub that encompassed every facet of American culture-literature, visual arts, theatre, music, and dance. The Harlem Renaissance influenced artists in cities across the United States and abroad, producing artwork that captured the triumphs and struggles of the African-American experience. While the Renaissance, fueled by the universal prosperity of the 1920s, lasted little more than a decade, its legacy can be traced through much of the 20th century. The Harlem Renaissance and Its Legacy , organized by the Worcester Art Museum, features paintings, sculptures, collages, photographs and illustrated books by prominent African-American artists from the Harlem Renaissance and the decades that followed. Works derive from the Worcester Art Museum's permanent collection, and also from private collections, rarely on public view. While there were notable African-American artists prior to the Harlem Renaissance, they found little public support. Because of the prosperity of 1920s, both middle-class African Americans and European Americans became patrons of the arts. A great migration of African Americans from the south to urban centers energized Harlem with a pervading sense of freedom and expression. The culture of the Harlem Renaissance fostered friendships and collaborations among artists of many disciplines. A wide circle of performers, poets, playwrights and painters socialized and lent support to one another. Jazz diffused popular music, and writers and poets such as Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen, and James Weldon Johnson thrived.

Overview The Harlem Renaissance represents an era in American history during which the uniqueness of African-American culture was celebrated. It was a period marked by an active and vibrant nightlife; by the publishing of a great number of short stories, plays, poems and novels by and about African-Americans; by musicals written by and starring African-Americans; and, by the creation of artwork by and about African-Americans. The Harlem Renaissance was an age during which African-Americans sought to dispel common stereotypes through their art. This lesson begins with a summary of the history and chronology of the Harlem Renaissance. Historical background consists of topics such as the northern migration of African-Americans, prohibition, postwar conditions and race relations. During this historical overview, students focus on Harlem as a "Mecca" for African American artists, musicians, and writers. Students read and respond to literary selections that either portray the Harlem jazz scene or were written during the period; they also listen and respond to relevant jazz pieces and view videotapes that illustrate the distinctiveness of the Harlem Renaissance jazz scene. Finally, students demonstrate their understanding of the Harlem Renaissance jazz scene by constructing an exhibit and producing written, artistic and musical interpretations.

Rapidly evolving into a sophisticated literary and artistic center, Harlem enjoyed a heady intellectual atmosphere that kindled a wide variety of fine and highly original works that reflected African-American life and exerted a compelling influence on literature, visual arts and music. The symposium will begin on Thursday, Feb. 19, from 7-9 p.m. when live jazz will resound from The Juice Bar Stage in the McCullough Student Center on Old Chapel Road, off Route 30.
