The Harlem Renaissance movement was centered in the cosmopolitan community of Harlem, in New York City, which had attracted talented migrants from across the country. During the 1920s, a fresh generation of African-American writers emerged, although a few were Harlem-born. Other leading figures included Alain Locke ("The New Negro", 1925), James Weldon Johnson ("Black Manhattan", 1930), Claude McKay ("Home to Harlem", 1928), Langston Hughes ("The Weary Blues", 1926), Zora Neale Hurston ("Jonah's Gourd Vine", 1934), Wallace Thurman ("Harlem: A Melodrama of Negro Life", 1929), Jean Toomer ("Cane", 1923) and Arna Bontemps ("Black Thunder", 1935). Writers benefitted by newly available grants and scholarships, and supported by such established white writers as Carl Van Vechten.
