The Great Migration, an influx of African-American movement from the South to the North, signifies the birth of Harlem. This New York City district provided unique opportunities to all of its residents. The Harlem Renaissance has been known to have had positive effects by popularizing black culture and music and providing ample chance for interracial interaction. Conversely, African-Americans were also dependent on gaining financial aid to support artistic endeavors. The following paper explores advantages and drawbacks to the Harlem Renaissance in regards to its residents and the overall Civil Rights movement. Harlem District was successful in advancing African-American culture and serving as an inspiration for the progression of additional rights.
