  5. Research Question Why was the Harlem Renaissance such a significance to history?

  6. Thesis Statement It is evident that the Harlem Renaissance ultimately uplifted the African American race through literature and music, thus defying the dominant culture's stereotypical perspectives.

  7. Significance to History The most influential time of cultural black history Enabled African Americans to express their feelings Created a trend for other generations

  8. Support/Evidence from Scholarly Sources Thomas Jefferson states, “In music they are more generally gifted than the whites with accurate ears for tune and time . . . . Whether they will be equal to the composition of a more extensive run of melody, or of complicated harmony, is yet to be proved. Misery is often the parent of the most affecting touches in poetry. —Among the blacks is misery enough, God knows, but no poetry.” As stated in Down Home by Robert Bone, “Sophistication also meant a fructifying contact with white intellectuals. According to Richard A. Long the Harlem Renaissance was, “a…motif presence of race consciousness…merely as an assertion of an essential identity.”

  9. What did Ms. Young Learn? I learned more about the Negro Movement. I re learned CMS. I learned that African Americans wanted to be apart of something.
