The Great Migration

The Great Migration

Between 1910 and 1930, 1.6 million African-Americans moved north and west for better jobs. After the Depression, (1940 to 1960) another 5 million would move out of the south. This movement is called “The Great Migration,” and involved a shift of the African-American population from rural agricultural communities into the cities in the north and west.

Group 306

Group 306

 Charles Alston's studio (group 306) was located at 306 West 141st Street. Alston was a painter, sculptor, and muralist, who founded an artists collective called “Group 306,” which helped young artists develop their craft and find inspiration. Group 306 is one of many examples of African-American artists, musicians, writers, and intellectuals banding together for the first time, and producing works that were otherwise unlikely or impossible.

Langston Hughes

Langston Hughes

 Langston Hughes called the Savoy (“the Heartbeat of Harlem.”) It had a “No Discrimination Policy” and attracted large crowds who were all there for one reason - to dance. One night someone said the famous actor Clark Gable was there. Reportedly someone else asked, “Oh, yeah? Can he dance?”

Zora Neale Hurston

Zora Neale Hurston

 Zora Neale Hurston wrote Their Eyes Were Watching God, her groundbreaking novel, after years of anthropological study of black communities in the South and the Caribbean. Hurston wrote in the voice of the people she was writing about, which was jarring to many readers of her time. But today, Their Eyes Were Watching God is one of the most frequently taught books in American schools, and is considered one of the most influential works in American women’s literature.

Cotton Gin

The Cotton Club

The Cotton Club was the most famous nightclub in Harlem and included performers like Cab Calloway and Duke Ellington. The bands that played the Cotton Club gained widespread attention, as their live performances were also broadcast on the radio. While many of the performers at the Cotton Club were African American, the club was only open to white patrons.

Duke Ellington

Duke Ellington

Sometimes called the greatest music composer in American history, Duke Ellington led a “big band” orchestra. While Ellington’s music was popular in dance halls across America and the world, he created music that was not only fun to dance to, but that also captured and conveyed the African-American experience. He is one of the most important figures in jazz, and considered jazz to be the most definitive American music.
