Briefly explain what the Harlem Renaissance was?

History

WARRIOR [948]3 years ago
5 0

First, to know when the Harlem Renaissance began, we must determine its origins. Understanding the origins depends on how we perceive the nature of the Renaissance. For those who view the Renaissance as primarily a literary movement, the Civic Club Dinner of March 21, 1924, signaled its emergence. This event did not occur in Harlem, but was held almost one hundred blocks south in Manhattan at the Civic Club on Twelfth Street off Fifth Avenue. Charles S. Johnson, the young editor of Opportunity, the National Urban League's monthly magazine, conceived the event to honor writer Jessie Fauset on the occasion of the publication of her novel, There Is Confusion. Johnson planned a small dinner party with about twenty guests—a mix of white publishers, editors, and literary critics, black intellectuals, and young black writers. But, when he asked Alain Locke to preside over the event, Locke agreed only if the dinner honored African American writers in general rather than one novelist.

So the simple celebratory dinner morphed into a transformative event with over one hundred attendees. African Americans were represented by W. E. B. Du Bois, James Weldon Johnson, and others of the black intelligentsia, along with Fauset and a representative group of poets and authors. White guests predominately were publishers and critics; Carl Van Doren, editor of Century magazine, spoke for this group calling upon the young writers in the audience to make their contribution to the "new literary age" emerging in America.

Which situation best exemplifies the theme of power in The Tragedy of Julius Caesar?
antoniya [11.8K]
<span>Which situation best exemplifies the theme of power in The Tragedy of Julius Caesar?
Mark Antony and Octavius’ argument regarding Lepidus’ suitability for the Second Triumvirate.

This argument shows occurs in Act IV, Scene I.  Antony, Octavius, and Lepidus had formed the Second Triumvirate.  But Antony asserted to Octavius that Lepidus was weak, that he was not suited to be in power over a third of the Roman world.  Octavius asserted that Lepidus was a brave and proven soldier, but Antony said his horse could be described the same way.  According to Mark Antony, Lepidus should be utilized for their purposes as long as he was useful, but then he and Octavius should take over the power Lepidus temporarily was given.  

The theme of power is evident in the argument, in terms of what sort of man is suited to assume and hold power, as well as in the designs on power each man had.</span>
