Harlem reflection

Seeing Harlem in the time of Sadie and Bessie helps me understand exactly what the sisters could have experienced. They both metioned many times the different churches and schools they visited while teaching. Once they moved to Harlem they needed to start over and one of them became a dentist. Thinking of New York now-a-days you would not expect to see the same people very much every day but back during Sadie and Bessie's lives the town seems very small and not very private.
