Marcus Garvey was the leader of the Universal Negro Improvement Association which was configured of only African Americans.

These are viable solutions to help the black community but they fell through due to some mismanagement in the 1920’s.

The Harlem Renaissance allowed for African American artist to express themselves and know that they are of value. Section 12-7e states,” But Langston Hughes wrote,”We younger Negro artist who create now intend to express express our individual dark-skinned selves without fear or shame. If white people are pleased, we are glad. If they are not, it doesn’t matter. We know we are beautiful.”
