New York in the 1920s had nearly 6 million residents and was a center of manufacturing and culture. Immigrants entering through the port fed the city’s thriving economy. As part of the great migration from the south to northern cities thousands of African Americans moved to New York between 1917 and 1925. In addition to the lure of jobs, many were drawn to the cultural life of Harlem, on the city’s East Side. NYC was known in the 1920’s for a little something called the Harlem Renaissance. This movement of African American culture was a thriving Jazz center of the United states. Boson on the other hand was known for their influence in baseball.
