The Harlem Renaissance was the rebirth of black art in the community of African-Americans living in Harlem, New York during the 1920s.

The Renaissance of Harlem was integrated by a varied cultural revolution that integrated Jazz music, literature and painting, forming the main components of this artistic movement. At the beginning of the 1920s three key works showed the new African-American literary creativity. Harlem Shadows (1922) by Claude McKay, became one of the first African-American works published by a major national publishing house. Cane (1923), by Jean Toomer, is an experimental novel that combines poetry and prose to show southern and urban rural life in the North American Negroes. Finally, Confusion (1924), the first novel by Jessie Fauset, represents the life of the African-American middle class from the point of view of a woman.

Regarding music, The Apollo Theater emerged, one of the most famous popular music clubs in the United States. He is mentioned in Lou Reed's song "Take a Walk on the Wild Side". It is where many artists of this movement found a place to capture their talent.
