1. Martin Garvey influenced the first American black nationalist movement, helping the ghettos and publishing in a newspaper the abuse that Negros received and also talked about African-american heroes at the time.
2. It was important because it set the first bases for stopping the African American segregation. It was a movement that induced and promoted the flourishing of art, literature and culture of the Negros, which was really important because it was shown that they were more than thought. Some of the greatest music these days begun in that period, like Jazz with Louis Armstrong and Rock n Roll later on with Chuck Berry. The movement centered in Harlem in the US but it also influenced other cities. Another important thing was that the African-american writers begun to use their own style instead of copying Europeans.
