The Harlem Renaissance was important because it got its inspiration from Dr. Alain L. Locke. Dr. Lock wrote the book "The New Negro," which The Bible of inspiration for writers, musicians, artist and dancers. This inspiration led to one of the greatest of a symphony of African American creativity. This period has yet to be equaled when artist felt compelled through their artistry to uplift the race and display to America what would have been called at that period of time, the Negro genius's.
