 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

This resolution recognizes that the Harlem Renaissance represented a pivotal moment in American history for African Americans and the African diaspora community of intellectuals, artists, performers, writers, poets, and musicians whose works of political discourse and creative expression set a path for self-determination and self-empowerment that is still evident today.

The resolution also celebrates the lasting impact of the Harlem Renaissance on the art, literature, music, discourse, and culture of the United States.
