Answer 1

Today it seems quite normal for high school English students to read poems, stories, and novels by African American authors, but that was not always the case. A hundred years ago readers, critics, and publishers across the United States paid little or no attention to African American authors. Then a group of African American authors in New York City changed American literature forever. Reaching readers of all races, their literary movement became known as the Harlem Renaissance.
2 Harlem, a section of New York City, became a center for African American culture, music, theater, and art in the 1920s. Hundreds of thousands of African Americans had recently moved from the South to northern cities for better jobs, and many of them had settled in Harlem. African American musicians, artists, actors, and writers congregated there, encouraging one another’s creativity. African American owned magazines featured prose and verse about the everyday experiences of African Americans in the rural South and the cities of the North.
3 The reputation of Harlem spread beyond the immediate community. Jazz and blues performances attracted visitors from other parts of New York City. Through dinners and special events, Harlem authors were introduced to other New Yorkers who published magazines and books. Editors at major publishing companies began to show new interest in African American authors. Between the mid-1920s and the mid-1930s, more than fifty books by sixteen Harlem Renaissance authors were published.
4 African American authors expressed their lives with pride in their poetry and fiction. Langston Hughes, who spoke out against social injustice in his novels, essays, plays, and poems, was one of the most famous African American authors during the Harlem Renaissance. The rhythms of his poetry reflect the rhythm of African American music. The poems of his friend Countee Cullen drew on both European and African traditions. A third important author was Zora Neale Hurston. She studied anthropology in college and collected African American folklore, which strongly influenced her fiction.
5 The Harlem Renaissance did not last long. During the Great Depression of the 1930s, hard economic times meant less financial support for authors and artists. Some African American leaders turned their attention from literature to politics and social issues. Several leading Harlem authors moved away from New York City.
6 Although Harlem ceased to be the thriving cultural center it had become in the 1920s, its legacy lives on. The large number of well-known authors with published books inspired later African Americans to consider literary careers. The Harlem Renaissance opened the door of mainstream American literature to African American authors, who have been significant and recognized contributors to American literature ever since.
