The '''Harlem Renaissance''' was an artistic and literary movement expressing Black or African-American culture during the the [[Republican]] administrations of [[Warren Harding]] and [[Calvin Coolidge]] and Republican control of both houses of Congress. It was centered in [[Harlem]], a neighborhood in upper [[Manhattan]] in [[New York City]]. The term has grown to encompass all expressions of Black culture during the decade of Republican control of Congress, even some which occurred overseas, such as revues by dancer [[Josephine Baker]] in [[Paris]]. The movement was a major cultural event in the history of black Americans. By reviving blacks' culture and self-esteem, black intellectuals strove for the fusion of blacks and whites, or blacks dissolving into American society, in an enlightenment movement after World War I. This laid the foundation for the American civil rights movement.
