The 1920s was a period of migration, and many Negroes (as black people were then called) moved from the deep south and parts of the midwest up to the north, especially New York City, where they were told there was more opportunity. Many musicians, artists, poets, sculptors, and authors found that Harlem was a very hospitable place for their creativity, and the Harlem Renaissance is proof of that.
