If it's something you associate with being cool in the 1920s, chances are good that it came from the Harlem Renaissance.
Art, music, film, and writing. These are the things that make life worth living. And as we talk about the importance of representation in modern media, it's worth taking a look back at one of the movements that solidified many of the American styles we take for granted today. And it started in the neighborhood of Harlem.
