Before and during the 1950s, African American culture was significantly influenced by figures such as Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston, who were central to the Harlem Renaissance, promoting themes of racial pride and cultural identity. Jazz and blues musicians like Louis Armstrong and Bessie Smith also played crucial roles, shaping the music scene and influencing broader American culture. Additionally, the Civil Rights Movement began to gain momentum, with leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and organizations like the NAACP advocating for social change, further enriching and evolving African American cultural expressions.
