Jazz, Basketball, and Black Culture in 1930s America

Beschreibung

An exploration of the outburst of cultural exuberance that swept African America during the late 1930s. It chronicles the triumphs of black Americans and shows how they shaped American music, sports, and dance of the 1930s and beyond. It also shows how they emboldened ordinary African Americans to push for greater recognition and civil liberties.
