Harlem

Harlem must have been very important to Sadie and Bessie, because it was the largest part in their book. It was probably one of, if not the main, highlight of their lives since it had such a large portion of the novel. From the websites, and what I have learned in class, I have inferred that Harlem had a lot of great art. I also discovered that some sports were involved in the Harlem Renaissance, including the New York Black Yankees and boxer Joe Johnson. I also think that the story of Madame C. J. Walker was interesting. Sadie and Bessie probably related to her closely because like her, she was driven to accomplish her goals even with the color barrier at the time.
