The Harlem Renaissance was a cultural movement in the 1920s that celebrated African American artistic, literary, and intellectual achievements, leading to a renewed appreciation for African American cultural roots. Artists, musicians, and writers like Langston Hughes and Duke Ellington drew inspiration from African heritage, folk traditions, and the struggles of their communities, which fostered a sense of pride and identity. This period not only highlighted the richness of African American culture but also challenged prevailing stereotypes and societal norms, encouraging a broader recognition of its significance in American history. Ultimately, the Harlem Renaissance played a crucial role in reshaping perceptions of African American identity and culture.
The Harlem Renaissance resulted in a flourishing of African American arts and culture in the 1920s-1930s, leading to a greater recognition of African American contributions to literature, music, and visual arts. This period also gave rise to influential figures like Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, and Duke Ellington, who paved the way for future generations of African American artists.

Langston Hughes' greatest accomplishment was becoming a leading figure in the Harlem Renaissance, a significant cultural movement in African American history. His ability to capture the African American experience and bring it to the forefront of American literature was revolutionary. One of his greatest disappointments was the slow progress of racial equality in America despite his efforts to shed light on the issues facing African Americans.
