Black Excellist: The Harlem Renaissance Explained

[@margnik36]

I live in Harlem, NY and proud of the shoulders I stand on.

Great video. I showed this to my 6th grade class as supplemental video. We have been focusing on the Harlem Renaissance the past several years for Black History Month. I am always trying to find different things to teach/talk/research/learn about, other than what has become the norm (MLK, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks etc..) Not that there is anything wrong with learning about them, but I am always trying to find ways to expand what I am teaching. Thank you for putting this together!!

Born and raised in Harlem of the 60s 70s . Back then it was just simply called the ghetto. No white person would step foot up there unless they a specific job like a teacher or business owner. Harlem was so frowned upon back then but I loved it. It was a tight knit community and we loved our own.

I grew up in Johnson during the same period, so I hear you!

The very theme of "Harlem Nights"

My daughter and I watched this video! She was so intrigued and asked me why she didn’t learn this in school! I told her that maybe it’s because she’s in the 4th grade but she can learn more on her own (with my assistance of course).

We love this post! Thank you for watching with your daughter. That was our vision of how we wanted our content consumed… along with the youth to empower them on their history. Awesome job, Mom!

Black survival every time, long live

It's a shame Harlem has fallen victim to gentrification

[@vaslim80]

@Mata Door The forced displacement of the original residents of Harlem for an entirely new group of people is the opposite of diversity.

[@iliyano567]

America needs pay reparations asap!!!

[@mademoisellecj5503]

Black america love diamonds and juwerly but they are not in the diamond juwerly business or not dominating it

[@tapiztree428]

African love residing in other's countries although their counties are rich in resources but africans neither dominate or get their hands on the resources in their own back yards.
