Why study harlem?
I feel that studying the harlem renaissance is still worthwhile because it was a time when blacks were finally liberated and slowly gaining rights along with women. It showed the harsh brutalities they had to face along with the many stereotypes they had to fight against to build a strong respectable reputation as a black community. People began to embrace who they were and were proud of their heritage. It was a time where black writers and musicians and artists were finally becoming recognized for their contributions to society. We need to study the harlem renaissance to understand what the blacks had to go through and what they had to face in society in order to make a change.

Youre right. Its one thing to read about the adversity that African American artists went through to be acknowledged but its more real when you read it from the artists themselves. It was also interesting to see what pieces of thier writing cause controversy and what pieces were purposeful to fit in.
