I believe it is still beneficial to study the Harlem Renaissance in the 21st century because it was extremely influential to today's world. After researching performing arts of the Harlem Renaissance, I learned that dances like the Lindy Hop are still used today. The dancing aspect of the Harlem Renaissance can be tied to modern dancing and the techniques that are still used. Also, during the Harlem Renaissance music was important and and influential. Some of the most profound musicians were during this time, especially Jazz performers. Music has evolved, but Jazz is the foundation of many types of music today.
I also believe it is important to still study the Harlem Renaissance because it represents Aferican American history and culture. We have read in numerous books the stuggle African Americans went through during this time in history. I think it is important to acknowledge it, but also learn the impact society had on African Americans and with their stregth and determination they were able to succeed and overcome their hardships.
I enjoyed learning about the different aspects of the Harlem Renaissance. I have always been interested in African American history. I was able to read a variety of literature that allowed me to understand the life sytle during the Harlem Renaissance but also the struggles and strength African Americans had during this time in history.
