I will never look at the harlem renaissance, hot combs, waycross, or bicycle spokes the same!!! talk about an awesome read. an enthralling story from the first paragraph until the last...love it! so many eccentricities, such must character and speculation about familiar faces. unia, the honorable marcus garvey, elite of harlem salons during the 1930s, one room school houses, racist white people raping and lynching, drugging and whoring. the last wave of the great migration to new york. becoming yourself. finding your voice. loosing your way in tragedies. finding comedy in the darkest situations. burlesque shows. west indians. being a cougar. find and running and chasing after things...love it!!!!
