Modernism

I picked the Harlem Renaissnace because I was most interested in this topic. I thought it was interesting how things changed over time and how the culture and people change. Also how music played a big factor in that change too. The mainstream of the new culture and the new ways of the african americans was enjoying it and taking it all in. It was right after war and families was getting back together and settle down. It was all a realy big movement that change the lives of african americans forever. It was a time that plays a really big role in the history of blacks.
