    Look up Black designer and seamstress named
    ANN LOWE.
    She designed an sewed the wedding dress of Jacqueline Kennedy, the wife of President John Kennedy.
    She was the Aunt of my childhood friend. I didn't know all of how famous she was until I got older. Later in life she became blind and me and my friend use to visit her where she lived on Manhattan Avenue in Harlem.
    She knew a great many of the socialites of the Elites in America.
    Please look her up and know that Black women and men didn't get the credit and notoriety that they deserved
    RIP Auntie Lowe, that's what we called her.

    • @aarondigby9859
      @aarondigby9859 Před 2 lety +4

      So few views because our children are not being taught this in schools, and as long as we depend on our oppressors to educate us we'll always be in bad shape, as spoken by a Harlemite, Malcolm X.

    Why hasn't there been a movie made about her? What a story! How come there isn't a street named after her? Or a building? The amount of wealth she amassed was unheard of back then not only for a woman, but a Black Woman at that! She's a hero for ALL WOMEN!

    • @robertafierro5592

    Beautiful documentary and great footage - but why was it necessary to omit Walker was given her chance by Malone? Just for the records: the first self-made black millionaire of the Americas
    (and the first female millionaire of South America) was Elizabeth Samson from Suriname (more than 100 years before Malone & Walker) though her income source sadly proves she was anything else but a philanthropist ...

    Did not know those factors about Ethel Waters having her own show and being on the radio show, I just heard her name mentioned from parents. Also that Josephine Baker was from Harlem. This was very good. In addition to Augusta Savage and The Harlem School of The Arts. What music piece is this from? Thanks.

      The Harlem Renaissance should be taught in schools just like the Protestant Reformation, the Spanish Inquisition, the Magna Carta, it was the most cultural transformation of arts and culture in our history. Teachers teach Civil War, Reconstruction, WW1, the Depression, then run on into WW2 by that time the school year is just a few weeks from being over so they just skip right over it, seldom mentioning it at all, I've seen a paragraph or two about it with the advent of blacks migrating to the north and out west to California.

    I truly enjoyed the history but I was disappointed with the presenters mispronunciation and stumbling of many words. I would assume a presenter or host would know the history. This is very important history that should be told verbatim, they deserved better. I love the history but not the way it was presented.

    She was not the first made millionaire correction it was Annie Turbo Malone let's be clear 🤨🥴👎🏼 Sarah breedlove stole mini ingredients and ideals from any turbo Malone who hired her and made her a protege and all she did was took the hair products put her name on it give a false story. That a African man came to her one night and gave her a list of plants and herbs which was a lie she stole it from any turbo malone. It's sad that nobody gives Annie her proper just do and recognition that rightfully she deserves. She was a beautiful icon and told Sarah breedlove when they separated she said although you stole my ideas you won't live long to enjoy it. And that's prophecy always for feel itself from a true prophetess and a turbo Malone when she passed away was 89 going in to 90 compared to Sarah breed love being right at 5051. When any turbo Malone died her family even to today still live off parole institute even to today of 2022 compared to Sarah breedloves child going through the whole fortune. Where standard WS has taken that house over it had been abandoned so long as suffered a lot of water damage over the years what a shame 👎🏼🤔 but I love the Harlem Renaissance with everyone else especially cab calloway Langston Hughes Booker t Washington some wonderful greats 🍷🥰🎊🎉💛♥️💚🖤
