These economic opportunities sparked a new hope and passion for the Black community to thrive in the growing world. Beyond increasing economic opportunity, new attitudes emerged in and revolving around the African American community in the post-reconstruction world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The African American community was viewed as more radical, assertive, and politically active in public spaces which coined the term of \u201cThe New Negro.\u201d<sup data-fn=\"535cb96f-9655-477d-bb49-1c3fadc67acf\" class=\"fn\"><a href=\"#535cb96f-9655-477d-bb49-1c3fadc67acf\" id=\"535cb96f-9655-477d-bb49-1c3fadc67acf-link\">1<\/a><\/sup> This Great Migration and development of \u201cThe New Negro\u201d paved the way for the Harlem Renaissance to thrive.

Prohibition changed the cultural landscape of Harlem and of underground nightlife and speakeasy culture. These speakeasies and clubs became lively venues for jazz performances and Black entertainers. Prohibition offered new spaces for artistic expression and cultural exchange.<sup data-fn=\"cce7458a-8926-4983-98a1-5b219fac56f6\" class=\"fn\"><a href=\"#cce7458a-8926-4983-98a1-5b219fac56f6\" id=\"cce7458a-8926-4983-98a1-5b219fac56f6-link\">3<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Characterized by a celebration of Black artists, musicians, and writers, the movement helped the African American community voice their experiences of social injustice and prejudice.

Hughes gave voice to the people in his community and helped shape a new vision of what it meant to be Black in America. He described the everyday lives, hopes, and struggles of Black Americans. He called for his fellow artists to also focus on ordinary life as the subject of their works rather than the white Protestant themes. His poetry often incorporated the rhythms of jazz and blues as metaphors for the Black experience. Throughout the collection in poems such as \u201cThe Weary Blues,\u201d &#8220;The Negro Speaks of Rivers,\u201d and &#8220;I, Too,&#8221; Hughes not only celebrates the pride of Black heritage but also advocates for their civil rights. His work helped inspire future generations of Black writers and thinkers throughout the Civil Rights Movement and well into the twenty-first century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>The Weary Blues<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is easy to recognize the impact jazz and blues culture had on the work of Harlem Renaissance artists and Langston Hughes in particular. Specifically, much of <em>The Weary Blues <\/em>explored the impact of the progressive reforms such as Prohibition had on the African American community and culture. Institutions, namely The Cotton Club, inspired a few of the poems in the collection such as the title poem \u201cThe Weary Blues.\u201d&nbsp;<strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Weary Blues\u201d focuses on Jazz culture in a New York City bar on Lenox Avenue, a common meeting place for working-class individuals of the area. Through this poem, Hughes encapsulates all aspects of 1920s Jazz. Hughes wrote the poem in a specific rhythm to mimic the structure and spirit of blues music. As shown in the video titled \u201c\u2018The Weary Blues\u2019 on CBUT, 1958\u201d the poem is not meant to be read off the page, but performed, a common attribute to blues-inspired art. He uses metaphors to compare the rhythm and tones of jazz and blues music to the experiences of the Black man in America. The poem represents a standard blues performance from the perspectives of the singer and the narrator.<sup data-fn=\"c7ffd894-8954-4735-a97a-fbebca32b096\" class=\"fn\"><a href=\"#c7ffd894-8954-4735-a97a-fbebca32b096\" id=\"c7ffd894-8954-4735-a97a-fbebca32b096-link\">5<\/a><\/sup> The narrator describes the \u201cdimly lit and shabbily furnished\u201d club setting. The rest of the poem centers around a blues performer who sings about his sorrow and fatigue. The singer states, \u201cI got the Weary Blues \/ And I can\u2019t be satisfied\u201d as he lazily sways to the rhythm of the tune. Hughes uses repetition to mimic the emotional currents of traditional blues and jazz. The lines \u201cHe did a lazy sway&#8230; \/ He did a lazy sway&#8230;\u201d further show the swinging rhythm of the jazz performance. His language, tone, and body movement emphasize the melancholy feel associated with Jazz and the Black experience in the 1920s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Langston Hughes - &quot;The Weary Blues&quot; on CBUT, 1958\" width=\"440\" height=\"330\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uM7HSOwJw20?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Significance to the 1920s<\/strong><br><br>Specifically, much of <em>The Weary Blues <\/em>explored the impact the progressive reforms had on African American community and culture.

Langston Hughes used his poetry collection to depict the daily lives and struggles of African Americans in Harlem during the twenties. The movement would not have been possible without the numerous progressive reforms and ideologies that bloomed in the twenties that allowed for the expression of previously silenced voices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Footnotes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-footnotes\"><li id=\"535cb96f-9655-477d-bb49-1c3fadc67acf\">Dumenil, Lynn. <em>The Modern Temper: American Culture and Society in the 1920s<\/em>.
