"When Broadway Was Black" – this is an *excellent* #BlackHistory book on an absolutely transformative piece of #MusicalTheater from a century ago – the show that gave Josephine Baker her start – that is now almost forgotten. Super well-written – we had the privilege to hear the author talk about it at a local showing of "Stormy Weather." Excellent cultural history and some really intelligent observations on racial issues. #books #history #HistoryBooks
