Era 6: Industrial Revolution & Great Migration Poster
A Renaissance of Possibility
1900–1930
The early twentieth century brought extraordinary changes to American cities, industries, and culture.
During the Great Migration, millions of Black Americans began moving from the rural South to other regions in search of safety and opportunity. Black communities expanded their influence in business, science, invention, music, literature, fashion, and the arts.
The Harlem Renaissance became a powerful expression of Black creativity and cultural identity, while entrepreneurs and inventors developed new products, technologies, and services.
This vibrant poster celebrates the connections between artistic expression, entrepreneurship, engineering, and community progress.
