Hello my Assigned blog is about the Harlem Renaissance and the Harlem Globetrotters.
The Harlem Renaissance was a cultural uprising that took place during the Roaring twenties. It was centered in Harlem. Harlem is not in Iowa, it is the black area of town in New York City, New York. Some background information, the black people were enslaved from the time the Europeans arrived in America til the end of the Civil War. If you were black during that time, then you hated the White Man. They even passed that on to their children. Even then they sometimes try to be separate from them.
But anyways, the Harlem Renaissance wasn't about getting back. This time period so much got done. Just to mention the music. During this time the Jazz genre was extremely Popular. Musicians like Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Count Basie were a premier Source of musical entertainment. Even though their music was loved, they were still thrown out of clubs because they were black. During this time the Apollo, a club in Harlem became really popular.
During this time, there were plenty of intellectuals and civil Rights leaders, such as Walter White. Not from Breaking Bad. There were many painters too.
Also during this time, the Harlem Globetrotters were formed. They used tricks and funny things to get the audience excited. They bounced the ball of the opponents heads. They ever rolled on the floor still dribbling the ball. They were formed in 1927.
I think that during this time a lot was done. I especially like the Harlem Globetrotters. The photos are below.
