"someone is always at my elbow reminding me that i am the granddaughter of slaves. it fails to register depression with me." zora neale hurston

the quotation above is most closely associated with which of the following events or developments of the early 20th century?

a. harlem renaissance b. lost generation c. world war i d. prohibition e. great migration

A. Harlem Renaissance

Explanation:

The Harlem Renaissance was the rebirth or re-invention of the literature, culture and arts of the blacks during the 1920s. It was majorly centered around the city of Harlem in Manhattan where the migration of African-Americans was the largest.

When Zora Neale Hurston, the famous author of "Their Eyes Were Watching God" was told or suggested by someone that she is a generation of the slaves, she points out that she hardly feels offended. It doesn't seem to affect her like it was supposed to. This was the product of reinvention, reestablishment of one's identity as a descendant of the slaves that were so oppressed.

in that passage i would say the sentence which best describes the overall impact of the setting is when they mention the absence of people because it suggests that taking a walk at night is unusual.
