…not a school, nor did the writers associated with it share a common purpose, as was the case with Locke and Dubois, nevertheless they had a common bond: they dealt with African American life from an African American perspective. The Harlem Renaissance transformed African-American identity and history, but it also transformed American culture in general. Never before had so many Americans read the thoughts of African-Americans and embraced the African-American community's productions, expressions, and style.
