The Harlem Renaissance:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Harlem Renaissance sought to rediscover black folk culture, which included music, dance, literature, and art, and to uplift the African American community through artistic expression and intellectual achievements. The movement celebrated black pride and identity, and sought to challenge negative stereotypes and discrimination against African Americans. While jazz was an important part of the Harlem Renaissance, it was not the only aspect of the movement. Option A is incorrect because the Harlem Renaissance did not make any connection between the African American experience and the legal structure of Rome. Option B is incorrect because while some members of the movement were socialists, it was not a unifying political ideology. Option E is incorrect because the Harlem Renaissance rejected Booker T. Washington's conciliatory strategy of accommodation and instead advocated for equal rights and opportunities.
