In little more than a decade during the 1920's and 1930's a new generation of African-American writers, artists, musicians and intellectuals burst through the conventions of the time, determined to describe their own lives and their own world frankly and without compromise. The Harlem Renaissance was born. The purpose of this SDG is to educate, entertain and open a window into the life and times of African-Americans in the 1920's and 1930's.
