Harlem Renaissance(文艺复兴)—A Brief Introduction
Important Features
1. Harlem Renaissance (HR) is the name given to the period from the end of World War I and through the middle of the 1930s Depression, during which a group of talented African - American writers produced a sizable body of literature in the four prominent genres of poetry, fiction, drama, and essay.
2. The notion of "twoness" , a divided awareness of one’s identity, was introduced by W. E.B. Du Bois, one of the founders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the author of the influential book The Souls of Black Folks (1903): "One ever feels his twoness—an American, a Negro; two souls two thoughts, two unreconciled stirrings: two warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder."
3. Common themes: alienation, marginality, the use of folk material, the use of the blues tradition, the problems of writing for an elite audience.
4. HR was more than just a literary movement: it included racial consciousness, "the back to Africa" movement led by Marcus Garvey, racial integration, the explosion of music particularly jazz, spirituals and blues, painting, dramatic revues, and others.

Notes:
1. 369th Regiment
The first black soldiers to arrive in Europe were those of the 369th Regiment from New York. The regiment quickly built up a reputation as excellent soldiers and were nicknamed the Hell Fighters by the German Army. The 369th were the first Allied regiment to break through the German lines to reach the Rhine. During 191 days of fighting, the regiment did not have a man captured; nor did it lose an inch of ground by retreating. When they came back home, they were warmly welcomed and their march through the Fifth Avenue has been seen by many historians and critics as the beginning of Harlem Renaissance.
2. Scottsboro trial
A trial on an alleged gang rape of two white girls by nine black teenagers on a Southern Railroad freight run on March 25, 1931. Though large amount of evidence testify the innocence of the nine black youths. The jury still delivered a verdict of guilty. The story of the Scottsboro Boys is one of the most shameful examples of injustice in the history of United States.
