How did the Harlem Renaissance end?

Answer 1

During the 1920s and into the 1930s, African American literature flourished during the Harlem Renaissance. Known mostly for the emergence of great literature by black authors, the Harlem Renaissance, also known as the New Negro Movement, was a result of several factors. Before the Renaissance, thousands of blacks migrated from the South to the Northern industrial cities as more employment opportunities became available during World War I. In addition, the black middle class was increasing and more educational opportunities were available to blacks. The Harlem Renaissance ended in the 1930s after the effects of the Great Depression set in. The economic downturn led to the departure of Harlem's prominent writers. Although the Harlem Renaissance lasted a brief time, it had an enduring influence on later black writers and helped to ease the way for the publication of works by black authors.

Answer 2

The Harlem Renaissance is generally considered to have ended in the mid-1930s as the Great Depression took hold, leading to decreased funding for arts and cultural projects. Shifts in artistic and intellectual trends also contributed to the decline of the movement.
