Congressman Dan Goldman Honors Legacy of Harlem Renaissance

Congressman Dan Goldman joined Congresswoman Adriano Espaillat (NY-13) in introducing a congressional resolution honoring the legacy of the Harlem Renaissance, a cultural revival of African American music, dance, art, fashion, literature, and theater centered in New York City during the 1920s.  

Harlem’s development as a Black cultural mecca in the early 20th Century and the subsequent social and artistic explosion is considered a golden age in African American culture and the arts.  

Congressman Goldman is committed to preserving Black history in New York and across the country. In February, he introduced bicameral legislation to formally establish an African Burial Ground Museum under the National Park Service (NPS). The African Burial Ground currently holds the remains of an estimated 15,000 free and enslaved Africans and early-generation African Americans from the colonial era and is one of the most historically important monuments to Black History in New York.
