What was one of the characteristics of the Harlem Renaissance movement ?

The Harlem Renaissance was a movement of black art in the 20s and 30s.  Poetry, drama, music, even things like sculpture and painting.  It wasn't just Harlem, it was the whole country, but Harlem was a center of black people.  Black people began expressing their own identity as a group, their own artistic sensibilities.  Jazz music, for instance, came into its own as a black style rather than a black version of a white style.  Writers like Langston Hughes, intellectuals like W.E.B. DuBois, musicians  and composers like Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, etc. all are collectively considered the Harlem Renaissance.
