Party at the Dark Tower, Harlem 1927

The 1920s in the United States saw a resurgence of African-American culture in all creative fields, and the birthplace of this revival was Harlem, New York. It was also a time of blossoming for African-American women, who emancipated themselves from the diktats of beauty long reserved for white women. C.J. Walker, the daughter of a slave, illiterate and self-taught, was the ultimate icon, becoming the first female millionaire in the United States. Hear the story of this generation of women as Zora, a young African-American writer, prepares for an exceptional evening.
