A professor of mine called the Harlem Renaissance a "result of white affluent charity." What level of patronage was involved?

I only have cursory knowledge of the content of the works produced in the Harlem Renaissance but I think my professor is a bit off the mark (to put it mildly). Can someone provide any information they might have and any sources they might recommend? I have just begun reading the wikipedia article on it.

There are several excellent books giving context; one is titled "When Harlem Was In Vogue".
