American Beauty and the Harlem Renaissance
Harlem, from the 1920’s to 50’s, was the mecca for Black culture and excellence. From poets like Langston Hughes, politicians like Adam Clayton Powell to big band phenoms like Cab Calloway and Duke Ellington, this period called the Harlem renaissance, set style and trend worldwide. Harlem sirens and actresses also set trends of their own. Whether on film or a late night performance at the cotton club, these beauties did everything with style. Often breaking down racial barriers in entertainment and elsewhere these gorgeous ladies were talented, refined as well politically conscious.
