Summary It's the early 1900s and a change has gripped the world. The Harlem Renaissance has awakened people to a wealth of African American arts and culture. Centered in Harlem, New York, this renaissance brought the world all black orchestras, singers who wowed audiences in the United States and abroad, and amazing writers whose books became best sellers. It's a time when almost anything seems possible. So what road will you travel? Will you: Leave your old life behind and move to New York in 1919? Use your talents as a writer in 1920s Harlem? Explore Harlem's exciting nightlife in 1927? Everything in this book happened to real people. And you choose what you do next. The choices you make could lead you to opportunity, to wealth, to poverty, or even to death.
