World War I and the Great Depression
since most of the white men went to war blacks went north to find opportunities.
Black southerners migrated to the northern cities to look for employment opportunities that became available after World War I; this was a huge reason for money being the leading cause of the Harlem Renaissance. Job opportunities were limited to blacks in the South so they had to go where their options for gainful employment were greatly improved.Read more: What_causes_the_Harlem_Renaissance
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.
There are a number of periods of time referred to as "renaissances". If you are referring to the European renaissance of the 16th century, the baroque period followed it. The Harlem Renaissance occured during the 1920's in New York City. The time period following this Renaissance would be the 1930's which was marked by the Great Depression and World War II.
The Harlem Renaissance is the term applied to the movement of African Americans from the Southern to the Northern cities during the 1920s and 1930s. the time period coincided with black migration to the northern cities to look for employment opportunities that became available after World War I.

World War II/HARLEM
The 1920's usually stir up images of speakeasies and flappers, but for one group of Americans the decade became a time of rebirth known as the Harlem Renaissance. The Harlem Renaissance or Negro Renaissance is the term applied to the movement of Black Americans from the South to the North during the 1920s and 1930s. The Harlem Renaissance, which is also known as the Black Literary Renaissance and The New Negro Movement, began in the neighborhood of Harlem in New York City in which the spirituality and potential of the African-American community was articulated through different forms of artistic expression. The Harlem Renaissance was one generation removed from the Civil War. This time period coincided with black migration to the northern cities to look for employment opportunities that became available after World War I because these types of opportunities were not as readily available to blacks in the South. In the Southern states there was a lack of freedom of expression for African Americans because it was generally demoralized by the Caucasian citizens of the South (black art and other forms of creative expression in black culture was simply censored or manifested itself in an underground forum). The migration to the North, more specifically Harlem, after the First World War led to African Americans finding an outlet for group expression and self determination as a means of achieving equality and civil rights. This era impacted literature (poetry and prose), music (jazz played in the notorious Cotton Club and elsewhere), visual arts (painting), and acting in musicals.
