I heard very little about this when I was in Middle and High School. Black history was barely touched, only tiny tidbits here and there. Learning about this stuff in greater detail as an adult makes me happy, its great learning about all the history I missed. It gives me a greater understanding and appreciation of people and their accomplishments.
The reason why is because blacks weren’t wanted in a Harlem they didn’t build in the 1920s and they proved the white people who didn’t want them right by the 1940s. Look at what blacks people do to places they could never build. They don’t mention it because look at what they do. Everyone knows blacks will destroy any place where their representation is over 7% because they have. Repeatedly.
I love the black American writing, music, and art of the Harlem Renaissance. You see some of the greatest films with black actors in them. Yes, I know they had low characters in those films, but, they were great films. The writers were some of the best writers of the time. Thank you for this video. I truly enjoyed it.
Read up on Jazz history a little more. There were actual Black Face bands during the period of Jazz as well. (I didn't mean that sarcastically or rudely). I took a history in Jazz course and wow, there was so much to learn. There were times of blatant racism still as well.
I would guess its because of the Jim Crow laws at the time, but maybe it's a guy who just, in general, looked really similar to blackface (although that's highly unlikely)
I learn more from watching african and black history on here then I ever did during my school days. Harlem is rich golden history. Thanks for this video.
Did you end up asking why a few junkie blacks writing woe-is-me poetry about the white people who built the cities around them to what happened in Europe, the ACTUAL Renaissance?
Does anyone know how to get in touch with Black History in Two Minutes? We are interested in using this video in a digital curriculum and would like to talk to someone about permissions. I have had no luck finding any contact info. Thank you to anyone who might be able to help me.
Did you try the National Museum of African American History in Washington DC. For Jazz you might want to try what information the State of Louisiana, Nashville, TN has.Most of people making the music of the Harlem era came from the south. ❤
its something interesten..I was Born in Haarlem..a beautifull city in the Netherlands..my love fot Black music is always I cant explain..Maybe i feel connected from minorities..through i had no reason..i have a Black soul in a white body!?guess it has more swing and i react on rhytm played well!
No denying the immense contributon that Americans of African heritage contributed to making the UNITED STATES a great nation, but it is unfortunate to state that such credit has not been entirely recognized by white America at large. While many enlightened white Americans have stepped forward to give merit points to our African Community, these have always been in the minority. This is noticed in such things as, when do we ever see a street named MARTIN LUTHER KING in a white neighborhood? When do we ever hear white kids enthused about reading novels written by major black writers? Where are the monuments around the United States to black (wo)men of science, literature, sports, politics? There are odd ones here and there but not in the measure which such a prolific and artistic community deserves.
You have a great English teacher: the Harlem Renaissance was the most transformative, creative musical arts phenomenon to spread through America's culture. 1) the magna Carta 2)Spanish inquisition 3)protestant reformation 4)Harlem Renaissance
They tell history the way they want to tell history. These people never classified themselves as BLACK.. Why not refer to them, the way they refer to themselves.

The narrator brings in a breath of fresh air. He makes history super super interesting.
I think jazz is very beautiful. It has a beautiful sound too
More complicated than you think. The knowledge required is stunning musically. Just saying. Genius that has been lost on our youth. They're clueless.

Thanks for the great, informative, quick video to show my class during a Harlem Renaissance lecture and discussion!

I like looking at videos like this on my own, I don't get how you're forced to watch this
Using it to introduce a new lesson on Hughes "Thank You Ma'am" , for an intro to the time period in general.
Harlem is still a beautiful place. I love Harlem
I'm trying to learn more about the owner of this video. Does anyone know who has the rights to this video of Selma Burke? Thank you!
I didn’t know much about the music artists or knew the people beside Louis Armstrong now I know Duke Ellington mamie smith and Bessie smith
Duke is Ellington is one of the few genuine geniuses of American music, and quite possibly first amongst peers.
Does anyone know how to get in touch with Black History in Two Minutes? We are interested in using this video in a digital curriculum and would like to talk to someone about permissions. I have had no luck finding any contact info. Thank you to anyone who might be able to help me.

Does it matter that you're here for class? Why not be respectful and atleast act like you care, and not act like you're being forced to watch🙄😐
Yeah, it’s very weird. It’s intentionally dismissive as well.
