Milk Booth for Harlem Children, 1929

The Harlem Renaissance was a cultural movement that spanned the 1920s. During the first Great Migration (1910-1930) about 1.6 million African-American migrants left Southern rural areas to migrate to northern industrial cities. Since the 1920s, this period of Harlem's history has been highly romanticized, but with the increase in a poor population, it was also the time when the neighborhood began to deteriorate to a slum. Millicent Hearst founded founding the Free Milk Fund for Babies in 1921. The fund provided free milk to the poor of New York City for decades.
