Consequences of the Renaissance

In respect to the dynamic artistic, literary, and intellectual movement known as the Harlem Renaissance, occurring in America in the 1920s and 1930s, there were a number of significant consequences. Primarily, Africa-American talent, culture, experience, values, and perspectives (etc.) became more widely known and also respected throughout America and beyond. As importantly, Black Americans throughout the nation were inspired to create and, even more, to live with more pride and vitality -- and determination, particularly with regard to continuing the work necessary to overturn prejudiced attitudes and customs throughout American society.
