What happens when creativity becomes resistance? The Harlem Renaissance story

The Harlem Renaissance was a Black community-led cultural revolution that changed the US and sent echoes across the world. Choreographer, dancer and activist Valerie Ebuwa tells the story of how this cultural movement came in to being – as African Americans fled the oppression of the US south to find new opportunities in the North – and how it flourished in Harlem, New York. Ebuwa highlights some of the prominent figures of the Harlem Renaissance, including the writer James Baldwin, poet Langston Hughes, musicians Duke Ellington, Bessie Smith and Louis Armstrong, and singer and dancer Florence Mills. And she looks at how this creative happening in a corner of New York influenced similar Black consciousness movements in other countries, and how its legacy lived on throughout the rest of the 20th century and beyond.
