Harlem

These websites show a very good amount of similarties to HOS. In HOS Bessie and Sadie were very religous and it was a very impotant aspect in their life. There were many churches as you went through the streets of Harlem, which just shows how important it was not to just Bessie and Sadie but to the people of Harlem too. The churches were also shown as crowded. On the second website i checked on I looked at the boxer Jack (John Arthur) Johnson. He was pretty succesful as Sadie and Bessie were, but he also had his problems of racism from the white community. He perservered and worked hard though and would end up starting up his own supper club. He worked hard to do what he did, as did Bessie and Sadie when they were on their pursuit to get their jobs.
