Question

why the term “renaissance” is an appropriate term to describe what took place in Harlem in the 1920s.

Answer 1

Answer:

The term "renaissance" is used for something that is unusual or out of favor, however, appropriately for this statement, the word renaissance is used to define specifically to art, literature, and culture.

In the 1920s, it can also be defined as the Roaring 20s as more African Americans moved to the North from the South and that Harlem is one of the popular destinations for families.  This would redefine as the term used for the cultural revival of African American entertainment through music, dance, literature, and much more.
