THE Harlem Renaissance and THE Italian Renaissance

The Harlem Renaissance, known as the New Negro Movement, started in Harlem, New York. It was a literary, artistic, and cultural movement that impacted the lives of African-Americans through literature, art, music, drama, painting, sculpture, movies, and protests. Compared to the European Renaissance, they both had many similarities and differences. They emerged from a period of poverty and poor economy. Both included the flourishing of many subjects. So, as you can see, they both had many differences.
But, the Harlem and European originated from different sources. The Harlem Renaissance started in Harlem, hence the name. The European Renaissance started in Italy. Also, the Harlem Renaissance mainly had its impact on African-Americans, while the European Renaissance had its impact on basically everyone. The European Renaissance was started from the collapse of feudal society. Many cities grew larger and more wealthy. Due to this, the Silk Roads reopened. The Harlem Renaissance helped the majority of African Americans. This was how they were different.
