The Harlem Renaissance

The Harlem Renaissance was a flourishing cultural movement in the 1920s and 30s, showcasing the profound contributions of African American artists, writers, musicians, and thinkers. Key figures such as Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Duke Ellington, and Josephine Baker transformed the arts with unparalleled creativity and expression. This era celebrated Black culture, highlighting talents through literature, jazz, and visual arts. The Library of Congress hosts a valuable collection of photographs capturing these iconic personalities, preserving their legacies for future generations.
