The Harlem Renaissance Event or the Jazz Age Event






The Harlem Renaissance Event and the Jazz Age
This picture shows how the Roaring Twenties were. The Roaring Twenties was a jublilant time and the events such as the Harlem Renaissance Event and the Jazz Age happenend and people were happy anyways if it was just a brief period. The main reason why the Twenties were called the Roaring Twenties is because it was a up and down period in time. And Also, it was the period where music started to become popular with people in America. The Harlem Renaissance began in Harlem, New York City, and made the African America literature, art, and other stuff to flower in the States. Hence, everyone started to like music and to keep their minds off of World War I and other terrible stuff, they started to approach music more. People who can play music is considered fantastic. I think this is a important event because it is the beginning of music in the U.S. and without this event, there would be no fun music present. It also give something to wonder about, rather than wondering about war but sadly, the Jazz Age's popularity began to lower its popularity in the 30s and onwards, due to the world war. Also, the Harlem Renaissance made Black People gain some rights if little but it is good for them. They also get jobs to do and get wages. The Jazz Age, was as people said, one of the most interesting period and it gave birth to many talented musician known to people today.
