In what ways was the existence of

the Cotton Club a symbol of both

triumph and defeat for African

Americans?

Speak comfortably, but the crowd can't be segregated from blacks.

Explanation:

Harlem Renaissance was a time when black writers and artists emerged after World War I and the Great recession in the United States.

Researchers and scholars have attributed different dates to the start and end of the movement, but most accept that there were signs of an intensified artistic phenomenon in the Harlem neighbourhood of New York by 1917, with the movement losing a significant part of its original strength in the mid-1930.

Interestingly, some of the bars and clubs, such as the famed Cotton Club, remained unavailable to blacks until 1928 and were supplied by a rich, affluent clientele to enjoy the 'exotic' culture of Harlem.
