Question

How did the Harlem Renaissance contribute to the establishment of an African American culture and identity in America?

Answer 1

Answer:

Harlem Renaissance brought about an identification between the art content of black artists and the African-American population, which recognized itself and encouraged an appreciation of its cultural elements.

Explanation:

Harlem Renaissance opened up a great space for black artists to express themselves deeply. This allowed them to speak of their origins and struggles as an African American. This promoted an identification between the black population and the works that black artists presented, as they all had common origins and struggles. This sense of unity and community generated a great wave of determination and pride in the black population, who identified themselves as African American citizens and stimulated strong political activism for the pursuit of rights and respect within society.
