To Usward

Gwendolyn Bennett reading her poem "To Usward" at the Civic Club Dinner, New York (March 21, 1924).💛
What a multi-talented person! Loved researching the life and work of Gwendolyn Bennett. She was a key figure in the development of the Harlem Renaissance and a dedicated supporter of artists and writers through community centers, schools, and support groups. Her poems, short stories, and nonfiction columns appeared in literary journals, like Opportunity, Fire!! And Palms.
