Harlem's Little Blackbird

Zora and Langston, Billie and Bessie, Eubie and Duke. If the Harlem Renaissance had a court, they were its kings and queens.

Born to parents who were former-slaves Florence knew early on that she loved to sing. And that people really responded to her sweet, bird-like voice.
