The Renaissance Age of Harlem, New York
Beginning in 1919 following the end of World War 1, the Harlem Renaissance helped to fix the highly segregated communities of the Harlem area of New York. During this time, music such as "The Blues", ragtime, and jazz were very popular, as well as urban modern art. But, in 1929, the stock market crash brought on the Great Depression and the end of the Harlem Renaissance.
This Harlem Renaissance compares and contrasts to the Medieval Renaissance in many ways. For example, both times of rebirth were a great flourishing time of art, music, and literature. On the other hand, they are quite different because the Harlem Renaissance ended because of racism and money, while the European Renaissance ended because its golden age eventually died out over time.

To conclude, both the Harlem and European Renaissance were similar and different in many ways, and were both very influential on more modern settlements.
