\a few years ago, in the late 1920s, alain leroy locke, a professor at howard university, came to harlem to gather material for the now famous harlem number of the survey graphic magazine and was hailed as the discoverer of artistic harlem.
\the whites who read that issue of the survey graphic became aware that in harlem, the largest negro city in the world, there existed a group interested in the fine arts, creative literature, and classical music. so, well - meaning, stupid dull whites from downtown new york came by bus, subway, or in limousines, to see for themselves these negroes who wrote poetry and fiction and painted pictures.
\of course, said these pilgrims, it couldnt approach the creative results of whites, but as a novelty, well, it didnt need standards. the very fact that these blacks had the temerity to produce so - called art, and not its quality, made the whole fantastic movement so alluring...

ews that harlem had become a paradise spread rapidly, and from villages and towns all over america, there began a black migration of quaint eccentric characters, each with a message, who descended upon harlem, sought out the cafes, hired teacups with a turning little finger, and dreamed of sponsors.\

Explanation:

Question 4

The excerpt relates to the Harlem Renaissance (1920s). The effort to mobilize support for WWI (D) involved promoting national unity and cultural expressions, similar to how the Harlem Renaissance gained attention (via media like Survey Graphic). Land reforms (A), telegraph expansion (B), and moral reform (C) don't align with the cultural discovery of Harlem.

The 1920s saw growth of consumer culture with leisure (C). Segregation (A) was still strong, corporate resistance to labor (B) is not the focus, and defense industries post - WWI (D) is incorrect as the 1920s had disarmament. The excerpt shows cultural consumption (Whites visiting Harlem for art), reflecting leisure - focused consumer culture.

The Harlem Renaissance's art was spread via media (Survey Graphic), leading to national culture spread (D). Fewer in agriculture (A) is about labor shifts, new art in urban Black communities (B) is about creation not spread, and middle - class rise (C) is not the long - term result of this cultural spread.

Answer:

D. The efforts to mobilize popular support for the First World War
