"The Harlem Renaissance (also called the New Negro Movement) was the period in United States' history from around 1919 to 1934 during which avant-garde black arts, music, literature, and culture had an effect upon and was adapted and admired by the larger white society. The movement was created because the members of the Harlem Renaissance believed that black exceptionalism would destroy the prevalent very strong white racism of the time leading to equal rights for blacks.
