Which is true of the “Harlem Renaissance” of the 1920s?

A. The era gave rise to F. Scott Fitzgerald, "flappers," and "speakeasies."
B. Poverty and starvation crippled the area, leading to its ironic nickname.
C. The "color barrier" in major league sports was broken by Jackie Robinson.
D. The era gave rise to Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, and "The Cotton Club."

The option which is true of the "Harlem Renaissance" of the 1920s is D. the era gave rise to Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, and "The Cotton Club." The term refers to Harlem becoming the center of culture during the 1920s, where many artists, writers, photographers, etc. were situated so as to make this place a cultural center. It refers to the "rebirth" of this location, where it would gain a positive connotation, instead of being associated with crime and poverty. A is incorrect because Harlem Renaissance mostly has to do with black authors, which Fitzgerald was not. B is incorrect because the term refers to exactly opposite of this. C is incorrect because the term doesn't have much to do with sports, but rather with culture and art.
