The period from the 1890s until the mid 1920s was marked by very
significant events in the
African American community. race riots the Great Migration, the growth
of the KKK and the
black lives changed little although there were some very positive
developments. Perhaps the
most interesting and significant event was the Harlem Renaissance
which brought great black
talents to the fore.
1. Choose two of these developments and discuss its importance to the
black community
and their struggle for equal rights. Each of the events must be a
minimum of 200 words. I would like to write about the race riots and the
growth of the kkk. Thanks in advance Sources “The first decades of the
twentieth century were characterized by a massive migration
of African Americans within the United States. Designated the ‘Great
Migration,’ this
movement of blacks from the rural South to the urban South, from the
South to the

2. North and the Midwest, and between southern states greatly changed the
racial
composition of many areas of the country.”

(NNBL), known since 1966 as the National
Business League, is one of the oldest business and trade associations in
the United
States. It was organized in Boston on 23 August 1900 by Booker T.
Washington, founder
and principal of the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. In his travels
throughout the country,
Washington found that black businesspeople were in dire need of a body
to represent
their interests, facilitate their business ideas, and serve as a meeting area
for likeminded businesspeople.”

Harlem Renaissance--insofar as it can be defined-is described
principally by a series of novels, books of poetry, paintings, and
sculpture.
Although African Americans wrote symphonies and sonatas in the
period between the
world wars, it was the nightclub music that seems to capture the period.”

“The Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s was part of the New Negro
Movement that swept
the USA in the early twentieth century. Through fiction, poetry, essays,
music, theatre,
sculpture, painting and illustration, participants in this first Black arts
movement
produced work that was both grounded in modernity and an engagement
with African
American history, folk culture and memory. This paper focuses on two
Harlem
Renaissance artists, the poet and fiction writer Langston Hughes and the
illustrator and

6. mural painter Aaron Douglas, who were particularly concerned with
matters of history,
memory and meaning.”
