Great Migration, Southern Heritage, and a Harlem- Inspired Gift Guide

Great Migration, Southern Heritage, and a Harlem- Inspired Gift Guide

A plethora of gifts, rich heritage, and deep Southern tradition is what the Holidays are all about. More than ever, this year, has become another holiday season where we as Black Southern Belles and Black Southern Beaus should put our hard earned funds back into our community to purchase unique gifts for those we love. This specific time of the year is where we plan to purchase selective items that we know our gift receivers will love. Therefore, today I am going to provide a gift guide featuring an array of Harlem Black-Owned Businesses and give you a quick history lesson of Harlem Southern Heritage. 

Great Migration

In the Northern part of the U.S, which is home to states like New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island, much of our Southern culture and heritage lies there along with their personal up-north culture. Our Southern culture is prominent in the North due to the Great Migration. The Great Migration was overall the relocation of millions of African Americans from rural Southern areas to cities in the North, Midwest, and West. From the early 1900s to the year 1970, many Southern Belles and Southern Beaus were driven from their homes due to poor economic freedom, difficult segregation laws, and unfair treatment. So, they began to find places where African Americans were welcomed and faced fewer racial and political challenges. Therefore, the Northern States became home for many of them. 

Experience Harlem Gift Guide

Harlem is home to many individuals who maneuver during the Great Migration and also home to Northerners who know all about the shopping and gift giving experience with Southern heritage. Below are a few items and Black-Owned Businesses based in Harlem that have items for you to give this Christmas. 

Harlem Candle Company

Candles are always great gifts to give. Finding the scent that brings light to your home and an aroma that makes one never want to leave are scents many of us enjoy. So fill your home and friends homes with scents from Harlem Candle Company and create a space of comfort and luxury.
