A Walk Through Harlem.

One of the similarities that I noticed from the website to Having Our Say was the importance of churches. Going to church was obviously a big deal back then in the community and more often than not it was expected. Bessie and Saydie touch on the topic of going to church while the walk through Harlem showed multiple churches on the same street.
On the 2nd link I learned more about James Weldon Johnson who we learned about in class. He was a poet from Harlem that helped put Harlem on the map. His poetry was closely tied with music and him and his brothers even wrote songs together. He continually pushed for civil rights and broke down many racial barriers for his time.
