Where did the Harlem Renaissance take place?

The Harlem Renaissance took place in the Manhattan neighborhood of Harlem, in the 1920s through the early 1930s. There are actually two Harlems, West Harlem and East Harlem. West Harlem is where the Harlem Renaissance mostly took place, and has traditionally been a black neighborhood (although in recent years it has seen a big increase in its white population). East Harlem (also known as Spanish Harlem) is a predominantly Latino neighborhood. Since neighborhoods in New York City rarely have precise boundaries, everybody has a different opinion on where Harlem begins and ends. But generally speaking, West Harlem runs south to north from West 110th Street to West 145th Street, and west to east from the Hudson River to Lexington Avenue. Spanish Harlem runs south to north from East 96th Street to East 145th Street, and west to east from Lexington Avenue to the East River.
