They symbolized pride and courage. These works signified the African American's liberation, and not by white man-made law, but by their own will. These works were not only beautiful, but their message and their emotions were what the Harlem Renaissance truly revealed and gave American History. Many writers did not look at their works of art as some sort of "racial or ethnic achievement", but rather they saw it as a way of identifying the African American spirit (Huggins, 9). Thousands of African Americans went to New York City because they saw their opportunity and they chose to take it. They were not only leaving their southern farms but they were rebelling against all the people who told them that they were only useful for tenant farming and share cropping (Huggins, 5). Due to industrial expansion and a general revival of industry, African Americans were able to leave their old lives filled with unfair and cruel labor. Even though these African Americans would still remain to be seen as inferior by many, they were no longer forced to be exploited on farms. Now, they could exploit themselves and other long unseen talents. Harlem was the perfect place for a revival of this magnitude. Not only had it just become open to African American residents but it was also a huge center for the arts, thus causing many African Americans to create communities there. Since many African Americans could not have a safe and active part in politics, they chose to tell others about their beliefs through art and poetry. Much of this art reflects the anger, resentment, and isolation the African Americans were long experienced (Huggins, 11). Somehow, in the end, it all seemed to reflect more optimism and hope. African Americans were able to respond to years of mistreatment through artistic mediums. They were demanding a new and different society where African Americans could have a place and still keep their individuality and culture.
