This paper will focus on how the Harlem Renaissance became a significant movement for African Americans. If today, African Americans are recognized as a source of promoting arts and spreading humanity in the world then I think the Harlem Renaissance was one of the major movements that were responsible for such change. It was the immediate way to articulate about the black community, a spiritual awakening against psychological scars of racism against Afro-Americans by white Americans and energized Afro-American Writers such as Zora Neale Hurston, Alice Walker, W.E.B. Du Bois imaginatively and socially. Harlem Renaissance conveyed the notion of "ALL ART IS ULTIMATELY SOCIAL". The movement emerged as a voice for black Americans in the field of all forms of visual arts such as dance, music, play, novel, painting, and poetry that represent the visual culture of black Americans. It also exposed the racist exploitation, discrimination, and gave an identity to Afro-Americans. Through, this movement white Americans understood and started recognizing the importance of African-American heritage which was a matter of great pride for Afro-Americans. It inspired black writers to pen down their emotions and feelings on a sheet of paper which till now remains a landmark in the history of Afro-American Literature. African Americans proved to us that it is better to play with words than play with the feelings of people and destroy them completely. Today, they are known for spreading love, humanity, and hope.
