Harlem!!

Harlem Renaissance was the time, period, and place where blacks expressed their thoughts through writng, poetry, jazz, paintings, and so forth. The significance of this movement was as an uplift, in my opinion, and to give blacks a “voice” and to be heard for their creativity. The Renaissance was an integral aspect of the New Negro Movement because this was the first time where blacks were basically being heard and being known for their artistic work and thinking, something positive, and something to call their own. Harlem played a major part in the Renaissance because it took place there, mainly were a lot of the blacks migrated to. Becoming a teacher, nurse, or social worker-idea was not only to have black women work because they had working; rather it was about what that work was and would do-support a push toward race motherhood. During this time, women had a new sense of career, money, birth control, and education, anything a man can do, a woman can do. McDougald’s work mainly was to uplift the negro woman, saying basically that a woman has an opportunity to measure her powers in the intellectual fields of Harlem.
