Many African-Americans looked northward for the chance to rebuild their lives. It was a trend that had begun after the Civil War, when newly freed Southern slaves had moved north hungering for opportunity. After World War I, African-Americans again gravitated to the larger Northern cities. Harlem, a large neighborhood in New York City, appeared to offer the kind of fresh start they were seeking. In fact, by the early 1920s, African-Americans in Harlem had grown into a large but closely knit community. Conditions were not ideal, but the African-American residents of Harlem shared similar cultural, social, and artistic values. Among the thousands attracted to the possibilities of Harlem was a select group of highly gifted artists who turned this former Dutch village into a hub of creativity.
