Which of the following people was not a figure of the Harlem Renaissance?
  1. Zora Neale Hurston
  2. Marcus Garvey
  3. Louis Armstrong
  4. Langston Hughes
Explanation
Answer: C - Though jazz music was one of the hallmarks of the Harlem Renaissance, jazz legend Louis Armstrong was not associated with the Harlem Renaissance. Armstrong was a New Orleans native and his connection to the city is enduring. His arrangements featured the “New Orleans sound,” a brass-laden style that was more “bluesy” than the music associated with other centers of jazz like Harlem and Chicago.
