The Harlem Renaissance was important to US history because it brought us the Harlem Globetrotters.

Of course I'm kidding. It served to create an identity and rallying cry in a part of a population that had been the subject of systematic marginalization. As with any creative group there were good, bad and great.

I remember reading a book as a kid that I stumbled upon. I didn't know too much about the HR at the time but did quite a bit of research afterwards. The book I read was written by a man. It was so similar to Kerouac and the Beats that I loved it. It had a lot to do with going to rent parties and just slice of life stuff in Harlem at the time. Can anyone give me an idea of what the title might be? I know that's not much to work with, but I am certain it's not Hughes or any of the better-known writers. I'm thinking maybe it was Infants of the Spring, but I can't be sure.

First of all, it's called "The Harlem Renaissance."

It was important to the black community because during the 1920s, they could express themselves through poetry, jazz and theatrical works. It was the time of the outpour of the African American culture in the U.S.

Do you mean Harlem Renaissance?

There is no such thing. Did you mean the "Harlem Alliance"?

If so, the answer should be obvious.
