CHARACTERIC 

response of the black people mostly through culture 

formation of the movement to demonstrate that blacks are gifted and no monkeys as theywere always treated

the idea: black is beautiful 

the aim: to show that the black soul is great and black artists are as good as white ones

there were too many work places available and it attracted of course black people

the Harlem was established for those people

white husbands wanted to be sure that kids are not black (women were checked if they are not black)
