While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes: • The Harlem Renaissance (roughly 1920–1930s) was a cultural movement centered in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City. • It celebrated African American artistic expression in literature, music, visual arts, and theater. • Langston Hughes published his landmark poetry collection The Weary Blues in 1926. • Zora Neale Hurston published Their Eyes Were Watching God in 1937. • The movement helped establish African American cultural identity as a force in mainstream American art. • Some scholars argue the movement's influence extended well beyond the 1930s.
