Harlem renaissance: "To die to be born and writing from you"

Harlem Renaissance was a movement that emerged in the 1920s by black professors, researchers, writers and artists in the United States, most intensely in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City. This renaissance movement was a possibility of confronting the construction of prejudice and stereotypes about the Black population. It was a moment of "self-writing", in which Black people wore of the literature, music, painting and theater to talk about themselves in the first person, to report their fears, wins, anguish and anxieties from the perspective and subjectivities of those who experienced these feelings, and no longer from by the look of the outsider.
