Entertainment / Literature / Harlem Renaissance: A dynamic period of writing, poetry, music, and art among black Americans during the 1920s and 1930s including figures such as Claude mckay, Jean Toomer, Countee Cullen, Sterling Brown, Zora Neale Hurston, Jessie Fauset, and Langston Hughes. These decades were marked by the post-World War I return of servicemen and the mass migration of black citizens to the urban North as African-Americans sought to flee the legal segregation in effect in America's South. The period is sometimes called 'the Jazz Age' because of the parallel growth of jazz and soul music at the same time among black musical artists. See also multiculturalism.
