Answer:

A. Harlem Renaissance

Explanation:

The Harlem Renaissance was the rebirth or re-invention of the literature, culture and arts of the blacks during the 1920s. It was majorly centered around the city of Harlem in Manhattan where the migration of African-Americans was the largest.

When Zora Neale Hurston, the famous author of "Their Eyes Were Watching God" was told or suggested by someone that she is a generation of the slaves, she points out that she hardly feels offended. It doesn't seem to affect her like it was supposed to. This was the product of reinvention, reestablishment of one's identity as a descendant of the slaves that were so oppressed.
