The Harlem Renaissance was an artistic movement that took place in Harlem, New York. During the 1920s, a unique group of artists, writers and thinkers was active in Harlem; this group introduced a generation of artists who sought to re-imagine the ‘new Negro’ as a powerful, creative and inspiring figure for a new beginning.   They fought hard to make African American art visible to a large audience, changing the way the world viewed their art.
