Early in the video, I accidentally say that the migration was from north to south, but of course, it was the reverse. Just a slip of the tongue.

Gosh i love being black

Thank you for sharing this awesome video. It still saddens me that this was only 100 years ago, grateful for where we are now, and so very optimistic of the future.

You did a great job! It's an honor to have been born & raise in this magnificent cultural oasis called Harlem!

Awesome job. The 1920s, 1930s and 1940s are three of my favorite decades.

Well done! This is a great integration of history and literature. I'll show it in my literature class. This is an important general knowledge.

Our class is doing research on Harlem Renaissance and I found your film helpful. Nice visuals and good comparison of Ellington and Armstrong

Binge watching 🙋🏻‍♀️ so happy i found this channel ❤️

Great Job on the presentation of your documentary of The Great Migration- Harlem Renaissance. You were able to capture the essence of a rich history that need to be told more of. Thank you

This was a great look at an interesting time. Would love for you to follow up with a deeper look. Thank you

I was amazed to learn recently that the term "art deco" was only coined in the 1960s. It explains why I just started hearing the term over and over in the late 60s, and wondering what it was, and why everybody was so excited about it. It had been around since the twenties, but never had a name until the sixties.

Concise but still specific and thoughtful analysis of key concepts--great job! I'll be using this to provide background for Their Eyes Were Watching God. Thanks!

Way to put in the work to get this video out. I pray that you keep grinding.

From David A. Wood: If there was ever both a historical period and locale that I would have loved to have lived in, it would have to respectively be the Harlem Renaissance Era of the mid to late 1920s and the Upper Manhattan district of Harlem itself. It would have been really cool to have culturally thrived within an environment populated by socially scintillating people like Langston Hughes, Duke Ellington, Fletcher Henderson, Zora Neale Hurston, Alain Locke, etc. Also, to have actually lived in Harlem itself, the geographically sprawling, socially teeming and elegantly fashionable district itself having been rightfully regarded during the Harlem Renaissance Era as "The Capitol Of Black America," would have been sublimely ideal as you were surrounded by the ultra stylish, seemingly affluent, and colorfully urbanized residents of 1920s Harlem. All in all, the Harlem Renaissance Era was an emotionally/socially uplifting, cultural period for African-Americans all over the USA, which ironically occurred during a historically problematic period for African-Americans. One could pretty much state that opinion after seriously take into consideration that at the same time during the existence of the sublime and urbanized Harlem Renaissance, you also had throughout the USA both legally codified Racial Segregation (Jim Crow) and a malevolently revived Ku Klux Klan, whose actual members/moral sympathizers regularly committed, with often lethal impunity, what would contemporarily be considered very horrible Hate Crimes.

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Awesome job

These videos are Jake! Great job. You should do a video on Jobs of the 20s that don’t exist anymore, like the upper knocker. Anyhow been loving the videos. Keep it up.

Such a brilliant doc! ❤️

Extraordinary! Just like the people in this excellent documentary. 👍

❤Wonderful channel, as always ❤️ 😊Thank you!!!!

Thanks for sharing this channel is Awesome!👌

Much appreciated content 💜💜

I love this video, keep producing these!

GREAT WORK, YOU SHOULD DO ANOTHER VIDEO ON , THE SOUTHERN BLUES VS THE BIG BAND AND HOW IT FINALLY MERGED IN THE THIRTIES AND FORTIES!!!

What many dont know florida had 2 cities that was known as the harlem of the south during this time one in jacksonville one in miami. Not all blacks in the south went up north. Some went to fl because parts of fl blacks had work and was doing very good. In overtown miami blacks were very successfull. Had their own houses barbeshops stores everything. Alot of famous people from up north like boxer Ali always came down and enjoyed hisself in miami. Whites even attended some events that was held in overtown. But no history wont tell you that. In fl lots of blacks had their own cities away from jim crow where they went to school and everything.

Thanks for this great video!!

Thank for this especially interesting & educational episode.

Great video, but at 57 sec., you said ".... from the north to the south..."- should be from the south to the north. just a minor thing to change. otherwise, well done.

Appreciate the videos ❤❤👍

Loved it! Great video!

This video was fantastic, thanks for uploading! It’s fascinating, how much we can learn from history and how it’s still so relevant today. With the Black Lives Matter protests happening now, it’s interesting to learn about the changes in society 100 years ago and how those lead to today’s world.

The fact that Storeyville, the District in New Orleans, was shut down in 1917 also played a major role. The Army wanted to prevent soldiers on the way to Europe from getting VD and the musicians working there lost their jobs. Also, in that year, the first recordings of jazz ( at first written "jass") came on the market.

This was great! Thank you for sharing. Does anyone have any movie recommendations that are based on the Harlem Renaissance or the Great Migration?

I'm watching this video for my College homework.

Most valued content!

I wish Ken Burns would do a documentary about Harlem, the Harlem Renaissance and the black elite families connected to it

Love the channel...

Nice still Listening 2023✊🏽🖤

Will there be a separate video for Josephine Baker?

This is really great

Great job bro. 🙏🏾

BRAVO!!👏🏿👍🏾

This video was really good this makes me so proud to be black also I love the clothes makeup & hair of that era.

Amazing!

You did a fine job.

Well documented, thanks 👍

Amazing!!❤️❤️

thanks for this video! very cool :)

actually i have a work on this so my teacher sent me on this video but actually i understood all and it was clear 0-0 ty very much

Great research and information, as always. (Just wish you would take an announcing class so you could learn to read in a natural style.)

I'm having to watch this for an e learning day cause we have bad weather

GREAT great video !

This video is what my teacher gave me for homework

Fantastic

Correction sir!! At 1:00 you said the Great Migration was a name given to the migration of blacks from the North to the South!!! It’s the reverse. We migrated from the South to the north!!

Great content.

Thomas Sowell is a famous black economist author. He talks and writes about the periods before and after Civil Rights. See his UKposts channel for an eye opening experience (because he goes against the common narrative).

Me as a 45 year old black man in Denver Colorado. I wish I was there back in the days.

Great job

Who see this from Ms.coote class

Well done

6:09 that is crunchy black grandad in bottom right hand corner....

POV: You're watching this in class

It's funny now that black people, moved back to the south.

💙💙

An important piece of history is that in the antebellum, the Northern Whites were just as racist as Southern Whites. Several states had laws and constitutions that went so far as to forbid any entry by blacks. So, when the civil war ended, there was no interest in giving the newly freed blacks their own territories, but interest only in forcing the unwanted onto the defeated southerners. Without that, there never would have been any "great migration."

Can someone tell me three main ideas from this video

💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

👍🏽

The true History needs to be told Aseer the truth of tiers

Wow... the KKK & voters suppression...wow Reminds me of America first and gerrymandering, redistricting we are still dealing with today in the conservative state's. Just saying, some things haven't changed in nearly a hundred years... We need to become an education society and come out of the stone age. Teaching people the importance of voting in every single election is a good start.

Then what the hell happened ?

Helllo ppl from English reply to this comment

Absent is the entirety of capitalism that had the Black family intact & the most upwardly mobile of all Americans. You could eat off the ground of Harlem in the '20s.

ANYONE HERE FROM PERUCHOS CLASS

The way he says blacks threw me off😭

Why did you use that photo with women dominating the picture? As if black men were just "tagging along" with the females, rather than LEADING the migration! Do better, dude.

It's "Black People" "Black Communities" "Black Folks" not BLACKS... Everything else is on point.

I will go back to this when Beyoncé uses this as the theme of her next album.

U are being used as english learning be happy

Moving is moving and who gets moved around more involuntarily than African Americans? We are built for adapting to the new.

Lol

Not bad but you're missing key points like the record breaking flooding, small pox, and Spanish flu...slavery and stuff sounds good but those people lives were in a state of peril due to those factors and "humanitarian aid".

Do you know that you had the great migration in New York City with Russian Jews Italians And Irish Over 5 million And today stop White Europeans from common head in 1924

This was a very clean and sanitized way of discussing the Harlem Renaissance but I prefer OUR history told by US!

Hey king! Please don't say "blacks". They're black *people*. Thanks!

"Blacks"????
