Walk Through Harlem

      Going on the online tour shows how much Bessie and Sadie knew about Harlem and how much they had done there.  Marcus Garvey's story about his protests reminded me of Bessie and how she would join riots and fight for black rights.  Bessie was not not as famous as Garvey, but she still wanted to have her say, hence the title of the book.  James Weldon Johnson's mother was the first black woman to teach in Florida, just like Sadie was the first black teacher to teach domestic science.
