For the first time important figures ( writers ) of the Harlem Renaissance worked together, they found out that it was a great chance to show the blacks that, if they stick together, things could work out fine.

I start to take a short look at the political and social situation of the blacks in the twenties and of course I look at the most influential writers at this time.

Then I finally come to the actual paper, the magazine FIRE !!. Because the magazine was nearly destroyed by a real fire, only a few copies and a handful of the original editions, which were saved, could make the round in America. After the fire, the editorial staff decided not to work on an other edition and all of the famous writer and painter went their own way. Never before and again in the history of the Harlem Renaissance, so many leading figures of this period came together to write for the rights of the black population in America. At the end there was nothing. Some real good books, important names and the lasting struggle for the same rights for blacks and whites in America are the result of the Harlem Renaissance moveme

My first impression of that story was that I simply liked the way Gwendolyn Bennett was telling the story. She put everything in such easily understandable terms, used only a couple of times the original jargon of blacks, which I think is a good point because of this, the story can be understood by whites as well and of course by all other people, who might be interested in this discussion, too. I think it is somehow very hard for outstanding people to get an idea about what these people are fighting for, and to use the more popular slang would have been a major mistake. It would have left the people who were not directly involved in this movement for freedom and equality outside, but every voice of men and women either black or white counted at this time in large numbers. So I think this story is not only dedicated to the black population, it was also made for whites in America, Europe and for all other countries all over the world to understand the problems the blacks had to fight with in America.
