Bessie's dentist's office was on 7th Avenue. There is a neighborhood called Striver's Row" which is known to be a very wealthy part of town. I found the New York Black Yankees pretty cool because I didn't know they eve had a black baseball team there. It was probably a great opportunity for blacks to come together to play the sport they loved. I also found out about Harlem Hospital and all the things they did to benefit the poor.
The connection to this would have to be the Harlem Renaissance. During this time arts and music took off. Sadie and Bessie would always describe their love for music and arts. It also relates because there were rich parts of the neighborhood and poor (black) parts of the area.
