Everything about the Harlem Renaissance

The Harlem Renaissance and the European Renaissance were similar and different in many ways.
The Harlem Renaissance was a an era of literary, artistic, cultural, and intellectual creations and discoveries that began in Harlem, New York. It started after World War I, when many, when unskilled workers were in New York City. Many African Americans liked the idea that there would not only be paid labour, but that they would be able to escape all the racism from the south. It can be said that they were granted the oppurtunity to express their heritage through art, literature, music, and dance. For example, African Americans were free to publish their books in an American publishing house. Many African Americans also appreciated education, and since there were many segregated schools in the south, they were attracted to the idea that New York allowed equal educational oppurtunities, and that there would be no segregated schools. The Harlem Renaissance was truly magnificent for many African Americans.
The European Renaissance, started after a war too, the Hundred Years' War. It was an era of creativity, learning, and discovery. It was the time that Europeans got to "experiment, explore, and create," just like in the Harlem Renaissance. After the Middle Ages came to and end, there were many advances in art, architecture and engineering, and writing. This is very similar to the Harlem Renaissance because art and writing were the major subjects, too. In this era, they created new forms of art and architecture. Art was most famous by three artists, two of whom are still known today, Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo.
Overall, the two Renaissance were very similar. They both had advances in cultural subjects.
