In this episode of Black History Buff: Definitions, we take a closer look at the Harlem Renaissance a cultural, artistic, and intellectual movement that transformed Black identity in the early 20th century.

Centred in Harlem, New York, but with echoes across the globe, the Harlem Renaissance gave rise to legendary figures like Langston HughesZora Neale HurstonDuke Ellington, and Josephine Baker. But it was more than just jazz and poetry it was a revolution in thought. A declaration of Black brilliance, pride, and creativity during a time of deep racial segregation and oppression.

This short episode defines the Harlem Renaissance, explains its roots and impact, and shows why it still matters today. Whether you’re new to the topic or want a clearer understanding of this defining moment in Black cultural history, this episode has you covered.

Perfect for educators, students, and lifelong learners looking to deepen their understanding of Black history one definition at a time.
