Description
In New world a-coming: inside Black America, Roi Ottley presents this city within a city and its one million people, packed sardine-fashion into some two square miles, as something more than "the capital of clowns, cults, and cabarets and the cultural hub of the Negro world." Since its beginnings around 1900 as a little community of "black aristocracy," Harlem's modern history began with the purchase, by Negroes, of thirteen large apartment houses on 135th Street. Now [1943] Harlem, woefully overcrowded, is infinitely subdivided and intermixed with all shades and varieties of color.
