A walk through Harlem

The Delaney sister's apartment was located on seventh avenue along with James Weldon Johnson's home and Mother A.M.E. Zion church.  Seventh avenue was a very busy and main central street in Harlem during this time, many people lived here, especially if they lived in the row of Astor houses.  Also, this street is central to almost everything else.  The sisters said they knew a lot of famous people in harlem, I wonder if they knew Johnson.  The sister's apartment and Bessie's office were very strategically placed, whether on purpose or not, this probably added to their success in firendships and business.
