Step into Harlem in the 1920s—a place so alive with creativity, you can practically hear the trumpet riffs and typewriter keys through the streets. In this episode, we explore the extraordinary cultural flowering that reshaped American art, music, literature, and identity. Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Duke Ellington, Josephine Baker—this was a generation that turned lived experience into genius, refusing to be defined by anyone else's limits. The Harlem Renaissance wasn't just an artistic movement; it was a declaration of pride, a challenge to the status quo, and a joyous burst of brilliance that still lights up the American story.
