(Primary source)- This source was the first newspaper that was published
when the Harlem Renaissance first started to propagate. It talks about how this
city has a population of 150,000 people, and how a white Journalist was able to
witness life in Harlem for the first time. He talked about how each person was
all for Africa, and how they wanted to take back ownership of Africa after they
became free from slavery. The journalist also discussed how everyone was all
black, even the cops, and how much they embraced their culture.
Hughes, Langston. "Harlem." Poetry Foundation. Poetry Foundation. Web. 8
Oct. 2015. http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/175884.
(Primary Source)- This source is a poem named Harlem or also called,
Dream-Deferred. from the most famous writer during the Harlem
Renaissance named Langston Hughes. The poem talks about how a dream
being abandoned can become ruined in so many different ways. And I believe
Hughes named this Harlem because each of the people in that population that
were once victims of the south, had a dream. After being left in a society where
there were people wearing white sheets trying to hang them from trees by their
necks, and having to go buy a certain amount of laws named after the color of
their skin that were directed only towards their people that restricted their
rights, even though they already gained their independence, To having a society
where they were able to express themselves through art, and be proud of their
race again, is the reason why these people had a dream in the past. If this dream
was abandoned, and was never pursued to get land that was dedicated to them,
then their lives and stories would have dried up like a raisin in the sun.

have been fighting to abolish slavery for a long time, and when they were finally
freed, things werent what they hoped. It then states how the freed AfricanAmerican moved from South to North, which was named the Great Migration. The
