For a sentence from a ACT English test:
Her goal was to revive the literary boom of the 1920s Harlem Renaissance of which she had been a part.
So my question is, since there is no comma after "1920s", does that mean it functions as an adjective?

It is, like "Harlem" in that sentence, a noun adjunct. As is generally the case, it can be rewritten with "of": "Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s."
