Answer:

It was a musical and arts movement

Step-by-step explanation:

Harlem Renaissance was a literary, musical and arts movement in general that had jazz as its separate strand, emerged in the 1920s and lasted until the early 1930s in the Harlem neighborhood of New York, considered the world capital of black culture at the time.

Many artists from the LGBT community participated in this moment.

The Harlem Renaissance began to emerge in the midst of an intellectual and social upheaval that eventually emerged and spread throughout the twentieth century African American community. Something that happened shortly after the North American Civil War that ended up generating a black middle class, something that greatly favored the emergence of jobs and better education for the descendant Africans.

World War I also forced black Americans to look for new job opportunities in other regions, there was a time known as the Great Migration, thousands of blacks left their homes in the south of the country to try new opportunities in places where economic depression and the crisis did not hurt them so much, they ended up in the north and found better work options in the industrial cities.
