Another productive day in the field filming with author A'Lelia Bundles. Today, she walked us through what life was like for A'Lelia Walker living in New York during the 1920s. During this time, A'Lelia Walker was still working for her mother, navigating an active romantic life and hosting fabulous parties at the Dark Tower (located at 108-110 west 136th Street.) A'Lelia Walker, the daughter of Madam CJ Walker, was well known for her ardent support of black artists pouring out of New York during the Harlem Renaissance. She hosted many events featuring black artists, poets, musicians, photographers and writers - who would go on to define the Harlem Renaissance.
