Remembering 47th Street

In the 1930s-60s the area of 47th Street now called the Bronzeville Cultural Utopia was a mecca of Black entertainment and culture. There were theaters, supper clubs, nightclubs and even juke joints. Celebrities such as Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horne, Duke Ellington, Josephine Baker, Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, Lionel Hampton, and Earl "Fatha" Hines could be seen and heard, particularly at the old Regal Theatre.
