Why did the Harlem Rennaissance start in Harlem?

Answer 1

Because if it had been in the Bronx, it would have been known as the Bronx Renaissance. "Harlem" has a much nicer sound, don't you think?

Seriously, now, it was one of those situations where you had all the right ingredients for a cultural flowering--a vibrant intellectual and artistic scene. It was music, yes, but also poetry and prose. Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen, new styles of jazz--all of it went into the making of something totally unique.

And it certainly showed average America that blacks were capable of producing great art of their own!

Answer 2

Harlem had a very large African American population...many of them, in times of slavery, resorted to religion, their own culture and music. Harlem became rich with African American music such as blues and jazz. The nightclubs became more popular. As it was a largely African American community, they felt comfortable and were more fre than they would have been in other parts. The whole grassroot movement, which is one of the greatest defining moments in American history happened in Harlem because is couldnt happen anywhere else. To find the best of music, you go to a music store, to find the best of clothes, you go to a clothes store, therefore to find the best of any culture you go to the city where it is most widespread. African American were most populous in Harlem.
