3D printing, otherwise called added substance fabricating, is an assembling procedure where a 3D printer makes three-dimensional articles by saving materials layer by layer in understanding to the item’s 3D computerized model.

How can it work

3D printing empowers individuals like you and me to effectively produce complex articles from the solace of our own homes.

Not at all like the machines introduced in processing plants, current work area 3D printers are little, shabby, and simple enough to introduce to work.

Bunches of individuals have just introduced a 3D printer in their homes. So what are they doing with it? A great deal, it turns out. Your child needs another toy? 3D print it! Your entryway handle has broken? 3D print another one. Specially craft teacup? Why not!

It is regularly less expensive, quicker and increasingly adaptable to 3D print something in your home than to purchase such sundy things from the store. The innovation is as of now very full grown and the manufacture nature of the created things is always improving. It’s not hard to envision the oft-refered to vision of an existence where everybody has a 3D printer in their homes. That may never occur, yet it is a totally reachable thing for your home, should you pick

Who uses 3d printing

For every one of the conceivable outcomes it offers, 3D printing is being utilized by a wide swathe of people, associations and ventures. From schools to understudies, DIYers and creators, fields, for example, car, aviation and therapeutic. Architects utilize 3D printers to rapidly make item models and models, however they’re progressively being utilized to make last items also. Among the things made with 3D printers are shoe structures, furniture, wax castings for making gems, devices, tripods, blessing and curiosity things, and toys.

Specialists and dental specialists utilize 3D printing for making helps and substitutions that should be altered for their patients. Amplifiers, dental props and prosthetic hands can be effectively tweaked for the patient utilizing 3D printing, keeping away from any difficult work and cost. Fun actuality, most listening devices that you see today are 3D printed!

Future

The enormous dream of 3D printing is “Walmart or Home Depot in the palm of your hands” or “A plant in everybody’s home”. That idea may excite or startle you, yet there is no denying that owning a machine which can produce endlessly adaptable things spontaneously is incredibly alluring. With a 3D printer at home, think about the cash you will spare by shortcircuiting stock and transportation costs that are packaged in everything that we buy.Think of getting a new part for a messed up utility in merely hours as opposed to trusting that the part will touch base from a far off area.

Envision the innovative opportunity of making each commonplace family thing customized to your own taste and inclinations. Envision the delight of wearing a shoe intended to fit only your feet and nobody else’s. It will be an alternate world – much like the PC and the cell phones have enabled billions of individuals, 3D printers may do likewise for assembling. A great deal of 3D printing fans state that 3D printers will before long be a necessary piece of each family unit, moving the harmony among producers and buyers. Others state the innovation isn’t there yet, and that the advancements genuine esteem lies only in the mechanical circle. Everything we can do is observe intently and theorize

“It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.” ― Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo da Vinci was a critical figure in the late Renaissance. Not only has he been titled as one of the greatest artists who ever lived, but he made remarkable contributions to engineering, architecture, science, philosophy, and anatomy during the Renaissance.(DailyHistory) Leonardo also had a spectacular and well-rounded education.

“Leonardo was born on April 15, 1452, ‘at the third hour of the night’ in the Tuscan hill town of Vinci, in the lower valley of the Arno River in the territory of Florence. He was the illegitimate son of Messer Piero Fruosino di Antonio da Vinci, a Florentine notary, and Caterina, a peasant who was thought to have been a slave from the Middle East. Leonardo had no surname in the modern sense, ‘da Vinci’ simply meaning ‘of Vinci’: his full birth name was ‘Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci’, meaning ‘Leonardo, son of (Mes)ser Piero from Vinci.’ Little was known about Leonardo’s early life. He spent his first five years in the hamlet of Anchiano, then lived in the household of his father, grandparents, and uncle, Francesco, in the small town of Vinci. His father married a sixteen-year-old girl named Albiera, who loved Leonardo but died young.” (Biography)

Leonardo da Vinci was a critical figure in the late Renaissance. Not only is he regarded as one of the greatest artists who ever lived, but he made remarkable contributions to engineering, architecture, science, philosophy, and anatomy during the Renaissance. While some of his work was done in secret, Leonardo still displayed some art, architecture, and engineering to the public eye. Leonardo was recognized as one who made a unique contribution to the Renaissance. Leonardo rebirthed the idea of learning and a moved to a secular worldview.. He decisively influenced artistic trends in his time and the later Renaissance. His interest in science and experiment inspired many humanists to study the world and nature. While he was also a great inventor; although, his inventions had little impact on his own era.. Leonardo was a remarkable man and a genuine polymath who had extraordinary insights and achievements. The Florentine was able to develop new techniques in painting that revolutionized the art form, and it inspired many of the greatest painters of the Renaissance, such as Raphael. Leonardo had a significant influence on sculpture and architecture in Italy during his lifetime and after. Leonardo was also a scientist and interested in a wide range of subjects. His scientific discoveries, such as those in anatomy, were kept secret, mainly out of fear of the Church. However, his approach to his field of study and his interest in nature inspired many people to adopt an outlook that veered from the teachings of the day. Most of his outlooks and beliefs on his work differed from those during that era, so it captured the eyes of others. However, most of his ideas remained only ideas and were often impractical. Therefore, his inventions made little impact on the Renaissance. (DailyHistory)

One of Leonardo’s childhood memories was studying the flight of birds and depicted the nature of these animals in almost a poetic tone. (Isaacson 18) It is believed that this was one of the early examples of his knowledge on the topic of analyzing and studying. Da Vinci always drew human sketches that would exemplify his understanding of the human nature of man. He depicted a young and curly-haired pretty boy facing a craggy older man who was to look visibly uglier than the other boy. Leonardo later said that this tactic offered a great contrast to one another and gave the sketch meaning. (Isaacson 133)

Leonardo’s notebooks were where he would explore the human body and study the complex shadows of every movement. “The beauty of a notebook is that it indulges provisional thoughts, half-finished ideas, unpolished sketches, and drafts for treaties not yet refined.” His unfinished work is the perfect example of his jumpy imagination. (Isaacson 108)

The Last Supper is one of Leonardo’s most popular and well thought out paintings.

‘The composition of the painting is outlined in depth. His intricate detail shows his care, patience, and pride in this painting. The depth and shadows of the characters give the viewer a powerful connection to what is being observed. The audience feels the emotion of Jesus and His apostles due to their realistic facial expressions.”

“Another lays his hand on the table and is looking. Another with his hands spread open shows the palms… Another… holds a knife in one hand. Another who has turned, holding a knife in his hand, upset with his hand a glass on the table.” “Every element of the composition is involved in the profound transformation. The attitudes and gestures not only represent physical motions but also are the expression of the emotional reactions, each one was individually characterized in the painting.” (Reti 30) Others in the painting are whispering, listening, reacting, or explantioning. Leonardo chose to paint the moment when Jesus Christ said to his disciples, “One of you will betray me.” (Keele 42)

Leonardo painted more artwork that depicted the nature and life of Christ. Da Vinci also painted the Virgin of the Rocks, Christ Himself, a child and a lamb, angels, and the Baptism of Christ. In a renovation of the Virgin of the Rocks, Leonardo enlarged the figures and relationship to the landscape. He eliminated that ambiguous pointing gesture inside the long gaze of the angel, synthesizing the figures of Christ and the virgin in the connection between them. X-rays reveal that an earlier version of the Christ child had an even larger head. Halos were added to the Virgin, Christ, in St John, in the ladder now has his familiar cruciform staff. (Marani 139)

“The figures are slightly drawn back from the foreground toward the rear; the open arms of the Virgin forming a pyramid and the angels finger pointing to St John seem to explore and scan space in various directions; and everything is surrounded by shade and light – a very special light that is used to draw from the shade, with soft gradations, the relief of the forms.’ (Reti 28)

Leonardo’s intricate detail provided a backstory to the artwork.The shadowing of each body part gave a special meaning to the majestic Christ-like attributes. All these details seemed intended to identify the four sacred figures securely. (Marani 139)

Leonardo also created a breath-taking painting of Jesus’ crucifixion, where he carefully placed Jesus and His apostles. Leonardo put intricate detail in their facial expressions and lifeless bodies. He studied every part of Jesus’ body, all the way to his feet, to give the most accurate depiction of His current state. Da Vinci also made the “Bust of Christ”. The “Bust of Christ” represented the moment when Christ announced that He would be betrayed. It is said to be that Leonardo painted the angel on the far left in the Baptism of Christ painting. Leonardo’s painting of the angel provoked amusement and wonder. The figure was placed on a diagonal stance as if to pierce the depths of the foreground space compromised two rigidly frontal dispositions of the figures. It serves to draw the viewer to Christ’s attention. (Marani) The baptism of Christ painting shows John the Baptist pouring water over Jesus, while two Angels are kneeling beside the river Jordan watching. (Isaacson 52) In his painting, where a young child is holding onto a lamb, one notices the calmness of the lamb. There is no telling what Leonardo meant behind this painting but most would consider that the lamb represents the Lamb of God and the child represents that all are still hearted and children of God.

Leonardo painted many angels to his life, many with wings and others with halos. The painting of the Annunciation, which portrays the moment when the angel Gabriel surprised the Virgin Mary by telling her she would become a mother of Christ, was essential t in the Renaissance. Leonardo’s version depicts the announcement and reaction as a narrative occurring in a Walled Garden of a stately Country Villa as Mary looks up from reading a book. The greatest strength of the picture are Leonardo’s depiction of the angel, Gabriel. He has the androgynous beauty that Leonardo was perfecting, and his bird-like were wings growing out of his shoulders was Leonardo’s wonderous blend of naturalism and fantasy. Leonardo can convey Gabriel in motion: she is leaning forward as if he has just landed, and the ribbon tied around his sleeve is fluttering back, while the wind from his arrival stirs the grass and flowers beneath him. (Isaacson 57&59)

Leonardo da Vinci was not strictly raised as a Christian. Leonardo’s mother was not considered worthy of mention in Antonio’s birth notation nor in any other birth or baptism record. Leonardo was born and baptized by the local priest at the Parish Church of Vinci. Leonardo was never formally educated as a kid causing him to be an ‘unlettered man.’ Leonardo’s lack of authority allowed him to develop his wisdom and knowledge from his environmental studies. Leonardo’s absence of authorization led him to use the approach of nature and its use in foreshadowing a scientific method. Although Leonardo was not formally educated, he still had a vast amount of knowledge in which he understood the human body to its fullest. He was smart enough to connect the dots between the human body and God’s nature. Leonardo has heard of the Lord during his younger years allowing him to still have the basic principles and truth within him. (Isaacson)

Considering the artwork, the knowledge, and the leadership of Leonardo it is obvious that Leonardo believed in God’s word. Although Leonardo was strong-willed and was an independent genius, he showed christ-like understanding then not. His depictions of Jesus in The Last Supper and the angels in almost all of his work displayed realistic stories and emotions that led Leonardo’s company to believe that he not only understood the goodness and sacrifice of Christ but glorified Christ’s existence. Da Vinci glorified God’s existence when he inspired the people of the Renaissance. Leonardo had Christian based artwork and also has a huge audience, which allowed his admirers to have an insight of Christ. John 16:13 says, “When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.” John 16:13 relates well because God talks through Leonardo in his power and popularity in society to help guide and inspire his peers. When Leonardo depicted all of the artwork about Christ and the events that happened long ago, he was spreading seeds of righteousness in the minds and hearts of everyone around him. Leonardo’s attention to detail and his patience in all of his projects helps anyone who may be struggling to believe in God because they can not see Him. 2 Corinthians 5:7 says, “for we walk by faith, not by sight.” Those who might have been struggling in the belief that God is there because they cannot physically see him now have an image to go with the events in the Bible due to Leonardo’s paintings.

“A painter should begin every canvas with a wash of black, because all things in nature are dark except where exposed by the light.” ― Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo da Vinci was a significant influence during the Renaissance because of his artwork, knowledge, and creativity. His ability to paint a picture is not only pleasing to the eye but tells an essential story that is beyond impressive.

Many things and ideas led up to the formation of the Renaissance period. This period was the beginning of the evolution of art, music, and literature in which the people in society became more focused on. These things eventually became prioritized and very critical to evolution. Art, music, and literature are only the areas in which evolution occurred. Many would agree on different themes and people influencing these areas. Classicism, humanism, and tradition vs. Innovation were all themes of the Renaissance. Humanism is overall the idea of focusing on the importance of humans. Humanism in terms of the Renaissance was that in addition to the idea of transferring the view of the world from religious concepts to simple human concepts through showing emotion and talent. I firmly believe that humanism was the most important and influential theme to the formation of the Renaissance.

At the time of the Renaissance, focuses were upon goals that humans can achieve and the things that humans could accomplish. The world during the medieval period was centered around the Roman Catholic Church beliefs. However, humanism began to alter that. Wanting to know things that humans could accomplish, resulted in humans exploiting their given talents through the three areas of art, music, and literature.

The first area (art) is the most moving area. Art during the Renaissance not only showed image, but those same images carried significant meaning. Art displayed meanings behind significant people, places, and occurrences in the world. Leonardo de Vinci according to History.com Editors, “was a painter, architect, inventor, and student of all things scientific. His natural genius crossed so many disciplines that he epitomized the term “Renaissance man.” This exert shows how important Leonardo de Vinci was. Leonardo de Vinci was an Italian artist. Italy was a location big for humanism. After the passing of Lorenzo de’ Medici, humanism began to spread more into Northern Europe. De Vinci had a very profound influence on this. Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, are two of De Vinci’s most famous pieces of art. Both pieces exhibit humanism. The Last Supper was created to show the image of Jesus and his disciples at their last supper. The piece of art when viewed is very symmetrical in the middle. In this area, Jesus is in the middle and every feature painted behind him is symmetrical. Mainly, in The Last Supper, emotion was visible between each of the disciples. Humanism during the time of the Renaissance, consisted of the idea of showing emotion. Leonardo de Vinci’s painting Mona Lisa was created as a portrait of Lisa del Giocondo. This painting demonstrated the face of a regular human rather than a religious figure. This showed humanism through this particular painting by Leonardo de Vinci. Mona Lisa also showed humanism by the detailed features of the human face which is correlated into realism. Many people noticed that the woman’s smile is not just normal. Many would say that her smile made the painting unique. Others agree that it displayed a sense of sadness. Regardless of how one perceives the meaning behind the painting, it helped influence humanism.

The next area that individuals showed their given talents during this period is through literature. There were writers who were now stating their personal beliefs through literature which resulted in more awareness of humanism. Niccolo Machiavelli was given the opportunity to be the leader of Florence upon the death of Lorenzo de’ Medici and the failings of Medici’s son to keep the empire in good hands after his death. Machiavelli wrote The Prince upon power being taken back over by the Medici family. In The Prince, Machiavelli explained his thoughts that religion had a negative correlation to government issues. If power was stronger within the churches, power within the government would be weakened. He believed that the only times that religion and churches should play a factor in decision making within government issues is only if they are religious and church-like issues. He supported all of this in The Prince.

The third and last area that resulted in humanism which resulted in the period of The Renaissance is music. Music as a whole is very versatile and has many different areas within it. Music itself can include different genres, instruments, etc. During the Renaissance period, the idea of acapella became more popular. In music, acapella is the ideal of a solo or group singing without instruments. The removal of instruments gave individuals an opportunity to sing while showing their true voice and identities. Acapella singing displayed the human voices which resulted in humanism within the Renaissance.

The Renaissance had many themes that led up to its occurrence. Along with these themes were ideas that helped to demonstrate humanism. Without humanism, the Renaissance would have not occurred. Society would still be focused strictly on the religious and church aspects of ideas and every day life compared to that of humans who live this everyday life. Art was the most influential area in humanism. Alongside Leonardo de Vinci, was numerous articles who had profound impacts on the Renaissance and displayed humanism through their work. Machiavelli’s work of literature exposed the main concepts of humanism alone along with other writes. Music was also influential. It allowed artists to be more human like through acapella without instrument assistance. Without any of these areas, humanism would not be present. With the absence of humanism, the Renaissance would have not occurred, and society today would not be the same. Hopefully in days to come, society still will evolve in these same areas!

The Renaissance era of literature The Renaissance era embraces the period between 14th and 16th centuries. The term Renaissance itself meaner the rebirth what in some respect is referred to the rebirth from the obscurity of middle Ages and is originated from a French word. This period has influenced all of branches of human life including religion, philosophy, politics, music, science and literature. Taking into consideration the Renaissance literature it is to be mentioned that there are generally three periods of its development.

These are Early Renaissance (14th century), High Renaissance (1 5th 16th century) and Late Renaissance (16th century). The Renaissance era in literature begun from the well-known Dante Aligner’s The Divine Comedy. The more important writers of the Renaissance were William Shakespeare, Thomas More, Florentine Vacation, Christopher Marlowe, Ben Johnson, Miguel De Cervantes, Francesco Patriarch and Niccole Machiavelli. In theirs works the authors referred to the ideals reflected in ancient civilizations like Roman or Greek. They incorporated the classical style into their own works.

Religious works, lyric poetry, and drama were here major types of literature in the Renaissance era. This period is characterized by the emergence of new genre of short story. During the Renaissance great changes in world literature have occurred. The first and the most considerable one was the break with the Latin language in the literature. The writers started to write in national languages. The introduction of movable-type printing press in the 1 5th century stimulated great development of literature as well as eliminated the use of manuscripts.

Comparing with previous era, books became cheaper and people in order to read a book did not have to know Latin anymore; thus, the books became more affordable in the Renaissance. The Renaissance generally and its literature particularly not only gave the brilliant group of outstanding authors to the world, but actually altered the course of the history as well as the literature.

Bartholomew Dais, the explorer for Portugal, planned to head an expedition in search of a sea route to India. Though, at the end of his voyage he only became the first sail to the tip of Africa. This, landing has only created a new name for the Cabot ads Galahs and the cape Cabot ads Torments for his country. Dais had a voyage that inspired explorers to try a faster or better route to travel, which lead to the discoveries of newer lands;also, this voyage helped encourage inventors and scientists to invent effective techniques and new technology that could help future expeditions.

Magellan studied very famous explorers for many years in Portugal. He planed to find a route to the Spice Islands by sailing west and around the world. Ferdinand Magellan, an explorer of Spain, has amazed us with his courage by venturing through the chaotic and the untouched world. Through his voyage Magellan provided the first positive proof that the world was round, thus opening trade routes to explorers all over the world. Ferdinand Magellan is recognized as the first person to circumnavigate the world.

His discovery of this route had the effects in many ways; for example, the religion of Christianity has also traveled along his Journeys, and also his geographical finding has made the current map more accurate then it originally was. Jacques Carrier sailed in the name of France. Carrier searched to find a Northwest Passage to India and the Spice Islands and also looking for new places to trade. In the end Carrier was the first to sail up the SST. Lawrence River and Canada. Canada was claimed as a piece of France; furthermore, this opened up for trade with the natives.

The Renaissance, occurring between the fourteenth and seventeenth centuries, was a period of great rebirth. Humanism, an important part of the Renaissance, brought about more color, perspective, and realism within the artistic community. A few aspects of humanism include individualism and Greece-Roman influences. Humanist ideals manifested themselves in works of Renaissance art such as Michelangelo Sistine Chapel and his David sculpture, as well as Repeal’s School of Athens. Individualism emerged in the works of Michelangelo along with numerous other Italian artists of the time.

In Michelangelo Sistine Chapel painting, each of the over one hundred people depicted has its own distinct facial features. Prior to the Renaissance, artists would replicate the same prosaic face onto all of the people in a large group. However, Michelangelo preferred to distinguish every individual figure present. He also ventured so far as to include a depiction of God in the form of he paintings benefactor, Pope Julius II. The characteristics of individualism repeatedly appear in the works of Italian Renaissance artists. The prevalence of humanist ideals is also present through the inclusion of Greek and Roman themes.

The statue of David by Michelangelo was a sculpture created between 1501 and 1504 featuring a nude male representing the biblical hero David. Davit’s contrasts pose is the Renaissance interpretation of the common Greek theme of a casually standing heroic figure. Another ancient Greece-Roman theme represented in the statue is the idea of a biblical hero depicted as a supreme athletic embodiment. Additionally, Repeal’s School of Athens, painted between 1 509 and 1 510, conveys classical Greek and Roman ideals. Aristotle and Plato, well known Greek philosophers, serve as the central focus of the scene.

Furthermore, the building portrayed in the painting has the rounded appearance and incorporation of columns used commonly in Romanesque architecture. Also, there are two statues visible in the background of the painting: one is of the Greek god Apollo, the god of light and cheery, and the second is of the Roman goddess Minerva, the goddess of wisdom. A myriad of Italian artists were influenced by the humanist ideals of the great thinkers. The likes of Michelangelo and Raphael used these principles of the great Renaissance humanists to advance their artwork. Humanism in Renaissance Art By illegible

The Harlem Renaissance continues to be the most momentous artistic movement in American history. The renaissance helped to form an awareness of characteristics for African-Americans. The Harlem Renaissance is best recalled today as an outburst of creativity overflowing from talented African-Americans in the sass.

The creative minds behind the Harlem Renaissance used artistic expressions to make an important effect on all features of society, while also providing African-American with heir first sense of while not being to slavery. Lain Locke said it best, “In the very process of being transplanted, the Negro is becoming transformed (Locke 6). In the early 20th century, African-Americans escaped the economic deficiency of the South and migrated northern and urban cities, mostly New York, in an anxious attempt to find good Jobs and economic safety and also searching for a more racially open- minded society.

This collective desire to help each other was an element in changing the movement into one that embraced all the fine arts; it was also essential in evolving the Harlem Renaissance into a search for a new identity for a deprived ethnic group that is constantly being reminded of slavery. The Harlem Renaissance rapidly became Just as important for the way in which is gave African-Americans a real culture and a pride in acknowledging and embracing that culture.

The intellectuals contributed to the significance of the Harlem Renaissance by understanding and contributing to its purpose in defining positive role models for blacks. In fact, the movement essentially created the idea of the black intellectual for both Americans and Europeans. Some of the artists’ contributions are actually still valuable today Just as they were back then. James Weldon Johnson is an iconic symbol in the beginning of the Harlem Renaissance as a writer and also an editor.

He had written the controversial Autobiography of an Ex-colored Man in and had also edited The Book of American Negro Poetry. This collection showcased several of the Renaissances most talented poets, including a man who would go on to become a giant in the literary world, Longboats Hughes. Hughes was an American poet, social activist, novelist, playwright, and columnist. He was one of the most primitive innovators of the then-new literary art form called Jazz poetry. He is highly recognized in the Harlem Renaissance period.

He famously wrote about the period that “the negro was in vogue” which was later paraphrased as “when Harlem was in vogue”. Zorn Neal Hurst published a literary magazine that crumpled almost immediately because of problems raising money, but was influential, however. Hurst later on accomplished immortality with her book Their Eyes were Watching God. Literature was not the only art that defined the Harlem Renaissance. In fact, the music of the period may have been more influential in defining the identity of the common African-American than the literary accomplishments.

The music turn into a background music for the age, while also providing motivation to the literary adventures of poets and dramatists. Jazz exploded into the arena of respectability and characterized for many whites the embodiment of the urban lifestyle. The leading Jazz performers were Bessie Smith, Duke Elongating, Charlie Parker and Billie Holiday. Harlem Renaissance can be seen as a challenge to fuse imaginative meaner o produce an identity of artistic expression.

The most long-lasting effect of the Harlem Renaissance may have been the one that is endorsed upon the education of African-Americans. The vital importance of education, but it was also one which saw a huge growth in the importance and availability of high education. Since the realities of the racial division in America was at work either subliminally or obviously in closely every work of literature produced during this period, the Harlem Renaissance is acknowledged for constructing an aggressiveness borne by that search of knowledge.

Any time an ethnic group is exposed to education at a level they’ve been denied, it can be expected that certain people will recognize the political feature of the denial of that education. There was a beginning mindfulness among African Americans across America that promises made had not been kept from reconstruction through World War l. Many of the intellectuals of the movement insisted that discrimination of this type should be confronted and overcome. During the Harlem Renaissance, African-Americans for the first time had a real reason to experience pride and rejoice in their identity.

Harlem became the center of a “spiritual coming of age” in which Lockers “New Negro’ transformed “social disillusionment to race pride” (Fonder, 2009). Out of Harlem came works of literary, musical and fine arts that spoke to the contribution of African-Americans, and forced the white power arrangement to recognize their contributions. The Harlem Renaissance produced novelists, poets, artists and musicians who are today considered some of the finest that America ever produced, who were mostly blacks. That is the ultimate achievement of the Harlem Renaissance. The Harlem

Renaissance should be acknowledged for its contribution to changing the self- perception of blacks in America; a rise in self-esteem that would in the long run transform into the Civil Rights Movement and also changed the identity of America.
