The term "New Negro" symbolized the resistance of African Americans to submit to situations of racism and submission to which they were previously subjected.
Explanation:
The term "New Nwgro" was coined during the Harlem Renaissance and was linked to the struggle of blacks between racism and account and the limitations to which they were subjected in the country. The term started to be divulged, when the blacks presented a strong resistance to the laws of Jim Crow, that were racist and oppressive, provoking the revolt of the afroamerican population and stimulating the fight for the civil rights.
The term represented a new attitude by blacks, who would not accept the racist situation that was accepted in previous times.
The Great Depression of the 1930s worsened the already bleak economic situation of African Americans. They were the first to be laid off from their jobs, and they suffered from an unemployment rate two to three times that of whites.
