The question below refers to the selection “when the negro was in vogue”. as you read the essay, how did you feel about harlem and the "period when the negro was in vogue"? support your answer with reference to the essay.

    While we read the essay we can assume that it demonstrates that the white interest in the black community only made the black people of Harlem lose their own spaces of communion and enjoyment, feeling uncomfortable as the white gangsters and white riches were dominating the bars, clubs and business that this community had;

   This situation is aggravated by the fact that the black people suffered from restrictions, where there was the "white only" places  . But, we can infer from the text that this approximation made it more common the communion of blacks and whites, in parties and places and with the knowing of the cultural aspects of black culture, it began to enter the mainstream media, through books and Broadway plays, raising as well the opportunity for black talented people to enter the spotlights, such as artists and writers (like Langston Hughes).

  Through the text we can see the dynamics of racial relationship in the 1920's that seems to be very conflicting and paradoxical when you analyze that in the same time when we had this beneficial increase of interest in the quality of black cultural aspects we hadn't any improvements in the segregation issue, with the rise of Ku Klux Klan propaganda and no changes in favor of the African-American rights.
