In this episode we take an exploratory view of the Harlem Renaissance. We pick from our previous episode at post reconstruction and begin with the great migration covering the mass movement of Blacks from southern states of Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi to locations including Chicago, California and Harlem for better opportunities. We touch on how Blacks landed in Harlem and the measures that were taken to secure real estate and living areas. Once there we explore the black artists such as Langston Hughes, creative collectives such as Niggeratti and more. Ultimately we look at the growth and impact along with the Great Depression and ultimate ending of this time period.
