Inspired by the Rent Parties of the Harlem Renaissance, organized by the community to help tenants struggling to pay rent. Landlords discriminated against Black Tenants, fixing their rents at a significantly higher rate compared to white tenants. Combined with discriminatory wages, many in the community struggled to afford their basic housing. These parties charged an admission to help the hosts cover the difference for the unjust rent inflation.
