African Americans could gain equality within American society by showing their creative ability.
A literary and cultural movement in the 1920s and 1930s that featured many great African-American writers was the Harlem Renaissance. Writes such as Zora Neal Hurston, Langston Hughes, and W. E. B. DuBois came from this movement.
The Harlem Renaissance was the awakening of black people, so to speak. It was when African Americans began making contributions to literature, music, poetry, etc. Many consider the Harlem Renaissance the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement.
When the Harlem Renaissance came to end many of the cultural aspects and ideals of the era continued to live on and resurface in other formats.
The Harlem Renaissance or the "New Negro Movement" was a culture movement. It spotlighted the music, plays, fashion, and art of the many African Americans living in Harlem and other big cities.
There were many accessories and fashion statements in the Harlem Renaissance. One was a "flapper dress". Many stage/show performers wore these, as seen in the Broadway hit "Thouroghlly Modern Millie".
The Italian Renaissance and the Harlem Renaissance. "The Italian Renaissance and Harlem Renaissance occurred in completely different regions of the world, involved completely different people, occurred in completely different time periods, but are not that different from each other. They share similar causes, developed similarly, share common characteristics, leaders, and both had an insightful effect on future civilizations. Although the Italian Renaissance and Harlem Renaissance are separated by a 500 year timerange and involve completely different people and cultures, there are many similarities that bond the two movements together."

The zenith of this "flowering of negro literature" , as James Weldon Johnson preferred to call the Harlem Renaissance, was placed between 1924 (the year that Opportunity: A Journal of Negro Life hosted a party for black writers where many white publishers were in attendance) and 1929 (the year of the stock market crash and the beginning of the Great Depression).
