Harlem Renaissance

• African American literature and arts had begun a
  steady development just before the turn of the
  century.
• In the performing arts, black musical theater
  featured such accomplished artists as songwriter
  Bob Cole and composer J. Rosamond Johnson,
  brother of writer James Weldon Johnson.
• Jazz and blues music moved with black populations
  from the South and Midwest into the bars and
  cabarets of Harlem.
• In literature, the poetry of Paul Laurence Dunbar
  and the fiction of Charles W. Chesnutt in the
  late 1890s were among the earliest works of
  African Americans to receive national
  recognition.
• By the end of World War I the fiction of James
  Weldon Johnson and the poetry of Claude McKay
  anticipated the literature that would follow in
  the 1920s by describing the reality of black life
  in America and the struggle for racial identity.
