In the 1920s, African Americans experienced a cultural renaissance known as the Harlem Renaissance, which celebrated their artistic, literary, and intellectual contributions. This period saw the emergence of influential figures like Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, and Duke Ellington, who challenged racial stereotypes and promoted African American culture. Additionally, the Great Migration led many to move from the rural South to urban centers in the North, seeking better economic opportunities and escaping Jim Crow laws. Despite facing ongoing discrimination and segregation, African Americans made significant strides in asserting their identity and rights during this transformative decade.

When women gained the right to vote and sexual attitudes began to change they began to be viewed as more of equals to men. African Americans were viewed in a admiring light after the Harlem Renaissance as jazz swept the nation. The traditional African American music was liked by whites and therefore helped the African American community make its way into the hearts of white Americans.
