Writers in the Renaissance
What can be learned from the poets of the Harlem Renaissance is that they at that time in US history were going through a time of change. They got to experience all the great enjoyable moments like new technology coming into history, also changes in the typical white and black community. But as you study the poets from a unique angle you can see how these events would correlate into their writing, because actually many of them wrote about the progressive movement of America’s mindset of race and how people precept it. Writers like Cullen paved the way for equality in America, “Oblivious to look and word They pass, and see no wonder That lighting brilliant as a sword Should blaze the path of thunder.” (9-12) This quote is an example of the mindset of whites and blacks coming together actually paved the way for the way society is today.
