I'm a Great Niece of Bessie Smith. Thank you for keeping her memory alive!!

The way he said Soulman cracked me up, reminded me of Soooul Train. 😂

Look up Black designer and seamstress named ANN LOWE. She designed an sewed the wedding dress of Jacqueline Kennedy, the wife of President John Kennedy. She was the Aunt of my childhood friend. I didn't know all of how famous she was until I got older. Later in life she became blind and me and my friend use to visit her where she lived on Manhattan Avenue in Harlem. She knew a great many of the socialites of the Elites in America. Please look her up and know that Black women and men didn't get the credit and notoriety that they deserved RIP Auntie Lowe, that's what we called her.

Harlem will forever be the Black Mecca of the world 🌎 Born and raised HOLLA

Love this era for black renaissance. Sad to see so little views

As a born and raised Harlemnite, I will always be proud of the historical significance of the HR👏🏾🙏🏾 Especially the fashion.

This documentary deserves to have more views, comments and likes!! Share this to others, folks!!

LOVE HARLEM

Andre Leon Tally would have loved this!!!

Beautiful. I sometimes wish we could go back to dressing more sophistication.

I’m from Harlem and this was phenomenal! Thank you!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Thank You for this "jewel." A beautiful sight in history. 💎💖💎💖💎💖💎💖😎

Honey, he had fun doing this video and I enjoyed watching every second of it!!!

Very nice, I love history, thank you so much!

Absolutely loved this documentary of the Harlem Renaissance ! 🙏

When we talk about the word RESPECT, these artists are the epitome of my RESPECT..there are not too many people out there that I REALLY RESPECT!

Infectious glamour and energy from this era! Just wow...

I visit to say prayers in a beautiful Bronx cemetery at various seasonal intervals. An amazing place of immense energy. Madame CJ's grave is a prayer stop for me. She was incredible. VIVA

Why hasn't there been a movie made about her? What a story! How come there isn't a street named after her? Or a building? The amount of wealth she amassed was unheard of back then not only for a woman, but a Black Woman at that! She's a hero for ALL WOMEN!

Black History is Beautiful and Rich full of knowledge

Thanks so much for creating this documentary. I learned so much from watching this!

I’m actually reading “When Harlem Was In Vogue” for a Harlem Renaissance class in college right now❤️

Thank you for keeping us alive !

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for sharing this wonderful Documentary and archives!!!

Chantel Riley styles the 20s fashion superbly in the Frankie Drake Mysteries series. You get to see how a beautiful black woman wears those othes.

I would love to see innovations for the future designers as well.

I just KNOW this is gonna be a GREAT ONE!!

This was amazing!!! I was glued to my phone the entire presentation. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!!♥️♥️

Gratitude

Beautiful documentary and great footage - but why was it necessary to omit Walker was given her chance by Malone? Just for the records: the first self-made black millionaire of the Americas (and the first female millionaire of South America) was Elizabeth Samson from Suriname (more than 100 years before Malone & Walker) though her income source sadly proves she was anything else but a philanthropist ...

LOVE THIS

Great documentary

Great work!!!

Autumn fashion continues at HBCU as hooks and local universities. Global design defined our need for fabulous attire.

NICE!!!!👏👏👏👏👏

I just LOVE this host! Who is he??

wish i had a time machine

I did not know this information about Ethel Waters, having her own show and radio, Augusta Savage, with the Harlem School of The Arts as well as Josephine Baker being from Harlem. Very good. Where is the music piece from? Thanks. 4/10/22. 416pm

Did not know those factors about Ethel Waters having her own show and being on the radio show, I just heard her name mentioned from parents. Also that Josephine Baker was from Harlem. This was very good. In addition to Augusta Savage and The Harlem School of The Arts. What music piece is this from? Thanks.

stylish I Think so

Did these ladies design their clothes?

I've seen this before. Sista at 5:14 is not having it!

I really like Donald "Soul Man" Hyman..the cloth he wore were suave and debonair! This was entertaining... up until the " l sure wouldn't pay to hear her"... that women disgraceful performance of The Great Ethel Waters, Am l blue ! They could have found someone else who could sing! ... l was going to cut this off... but it was just too good! They should cut that bad number! Otherwise thumbs up 👍 l really like the narrator... he was great 👍

Related to PHYLLIS HYMAN??

Dopage, y'all

I truly enjoyed the history but I was disappointed with the presenters mispronunciation and stumbling of many words. I would assume a presenter or host would know the history. This is very important history that should be told verbatim, they deserved better. I love the history but not the way it was presented.

She was not the first made millionaire correction it was Annie Turbo Malone let's be clear 🤨🥴👎🏼 Sarah breedlove stole mini ingredients and ideals from any turbo Malone who hired her and made her a protege and all she did was took the hair products put her name on it give a false story. That a African man came to her one night and gave her a list of plants and herbs which was a lie she stole it from any turbo malone. It's sad that nobody gives Annie her proper just do and recognition that rightfully she deserves. She was a beautiful icon and told Sarah breedlove when they separated she said although you stole my ideas you won't live long to enjoy it. And that's prophecy always for feel itself from a true prophetess and a turbo Malone when she passed away was 89 going in to 90 compared to Sarah breed love being right at 5051. When any turbo Malone died her family even to today still live off parole institute even to today of 2022 compared to Sarah breedloves child going through the whole fortune. Where standard WS has taken that house over it had been abandoned so long as suffered a lot of water damage over the years what a shame 👎🏼🤔 but I love the Harlem Renaissance with everyone else especially cab calloway Langston Hughes Booker t Washington some wonderful greats 🍷🥰🎊🎉💛♥️💚🖤

Thank you for this documentary. However all i am seeing are a lot of women of " COLOUR" WHERE ARE THE OTHER SHADES? Good luck sir

Being a darker complexioned woman was not en vogue.

It would have been more accepting if there was a more chocolatier face advertising for this footage now I'm less than half interested in this footage 🤔❤️🖤💚

❤️❤️❤️
