The renaissance, it is no longer just a period of time in history,  it is a description of a creative artistic golden age.  One of the most famous of these goes by the name The Harlem Renaissance.  This period of time is characterized by the movement of African American people northward to large urban areas of the United States during World War I, where jobs in factories, such as automobile factories, had opened up and employers were more eager to hire minority groups due to the draft of the white meb originally employed there.  As minority communities grew larger and closer knit they pushed out the upper middle class white people who had originally lived there.  This causes a boom in artistic creation in these areas.  what we must do when looking back is concider the implications of calling this a renaissance,  was it really a golden age of creation,  or was it simply when America got over its racism enough to realize there was creation going on and acknowledge it?
