The Harlem Renaissance
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ต.ค. 2024
- With a Jim Crow south alive and well, many black Americans migrated north. This migration resulted in the formation of a creative urban hub in Harlem, New York, and the Harlem Renaissance became a time where black Americans flourished creatively.
From writing to art, blues to jazz, a once suppressed black community greeted this newfound freedom by cultivating artistic expression in ways they were prohibited from doing before. Visionaries like Duke Ellington and Zora Neale Hurston thrived during this cultural revolution, and the Harlem Renaissance symbolized the power of the freed black mind in America.
In this episode of Black History in Two Minutes or So hosted by Henry Louis Gates Jr. - with additional commentary from Farah Griffin and Brent Hayes Edwards of Columbia University, and author and journalist Isabel Wilkerson - we look at a new generation of black people whose bold commitment to artistic expression will forever live on.

im here for chior
No one said art-...
I forgot about that
No ones said Medi Studies
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.
W
So real, it’s very important.. 🎯
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.
Here for history class
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.
Can't wait to use this video in my intro lesson for a Langston Hughes unit! Very middle school friendly and well made!
yeah fr katie
I'm using it tomorrow too!
PROUD OF ALL OF US TOGETHER BUILDING A POSITIVE LOVE HISTORY
Wow, this video is nothing but facts, helped me understand more on the Harlem renaissance
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.
Great video, using this in my class
I teach Junior ELA and my first unit is on the Harlem Renaissance! I'm so excited to share this with my class!
What's with the blackface on the left corner @1:05?
Wtf
Yea I was thinking the same. SMH
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)
Stuff like that creeps me out
was originally here for CUET but became a fan of their music. Specially the lady at the beginning who is singing.
Wow 😮 we are amazing 🎺🎺🎺
Amazing blues, jazz works ! The black music were wonderful !! Congrats black people ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Go ahead again ! Make a beautiful work culture again !
Thanks for the great, informative, quick video to show my class during a Harlem Renaissance lecture and discussion!
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?
Everyone: Pov: Blahblahblah
Me: This video is 3 mins, but they said in 2 mins
nevermind, they said 2 mins or so
LMAOOOOOO
pov: here for black history month English class
Yep

Awh I’m here from my History homework ;0;
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.
Harlem is still a beautiful place. I love Harlem
Interesting video, this sounds like an amazing time in black history.
Using it to introduce a new lesson on Hughes "Thank You Ma'am" , for an intro to the time period in general.
ya like jazz
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.
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. ❤
Wow

Nobody else is here for art🙂🙂😐😐
POV: anyone else here for research class
What?
Interesting
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.
isnt everyone
How long before Latinos began the narrative they created jazz and played a part in the Harlem renaissance 😂

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.
So what were they then?
