Race and Resistance
In the 1920s, Black Americans faced widespread racial discrimination, segregation, and violence, including lynchings and the rise of the Ku Klux Klan. In response, they resisted through celebration of Black culture and identity that came to be called the Harlem Renaissance. Organizations like the NAACP did a lot of more direct work by fighting for civil rights and anti-lynching laws.
