Answer:

2. The Harlem Renaissance was an intellectual and cultural revival of African American music, dance, art, fashion, literature, theater, and politics centered in Harlem, Manhattan, New York City, during the 1920s and 1930s.
3. The Great Migration provided the demographic shift and concentration of African Americans in Northern cities like Harlem, which created the social and economic conditions necessary for the Harlem Renaissance to flourish.
