What did the Harlem Renaissance contribute to both black and general American history?
The Harlem Renaissance contributed many things to both black and American History. It helped bring new African American Pride, and hope for protection of their rights. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People tried to pass antilynching bills. Even though these attempts failed, lynching did decrease. African Americans started to influence music. They invented Jazz and Jazz became the next big thing in america. Many books, plays, and musicals were written about African Americans, which became very popular. Famous songs like "Love Will Find A Way" came from the Renaissance.
