Asking if another Harlem Renaissance is possible is like asking if the Yiddish theater can be revived. The Yiddish theater existed because Jewish actors had few venues that accepted and the Jewish immigrant community were a ready audience. With the successful assimilation of the Jewish community into the American mainstream, the Yiddish theater no longer served a purpose. Similarly, the Harlem Renaissance existed because Black artists and intellectuals had few other venues where they could work. With the widespread acceptance of Black artists and intellectuals within mainstream venues, it seems unlikely that another Harlem Renaissance would attract the same level of talent as the original.
