A Walk Through Harlem!

On the virtual tour, 7th avenue would be the location of Bessie's dental office and their apartment! From their apartment they would be able to see, or at least walk to a variety of churches and even  the building of James Weldon Johnson who supported the Negro Movement; and we even read one of his poems in class! Madam CJ Walker's beauty salon was even close by. Their history then is everyone's history now in Harlem. On the other link I looked more into James Weldon Johnson and his influence on making Harlem famous. He was a writer, poet, and what I found out about he was a statesman. He didn't come from a low-ended family, but he did surpass many African Americans of his time. Him and his brother even wrote what eventually came to be the "Negro National Anthem." That is a huge step for any person, white or black, to do. This is much like Sadie and Bessie because they surpassed many standards already set for them just because of their race, and they made history because of it.
