The Harlem Renaissance
This book is written in the first person by a character named Aaron Douglas. Aaron is taking part in the Harlem Renaissance. One night Aaron decides to go to the Cotton Club with hopes to see some famous Harlem musicians. Aaron has a wonderful night at the club. He gets to see some famous musicians and he gets to hear some good music. Overall I really enjoyed reading Forrest's mini book. It offers a good perspective of how and where music was played in the Harlem Renaissance.
Professional Women + the "Flapper" Image vs. Reality
This book is written about "flappers" in the 1920s. This mini book offers a unique perspective of what a "flapper" actually does. "Flappers" have more time to pursue their professional careers than mothers. This book also covers the origins of modern birth control.
