A walk through harlem

In the story Having Our Say, Bessie's dental office is on seventh street. In the virtual walk through Harlem, I believe it would be located accross from the church in the red brick building.
One of the links also connects us to the african american yankees baseball team. The sisters talked about how they enjoyed a game when they could later in life, and how they thought it was fun. This same website talks about W.E.B. Du Bois, whom the sisters knew and were offend visited by. He was a prominant spokesperson for black rights, as was Bessie. She was the outspoken one of the two and believed in what he had to say. They both protested in a civil manner and were proud to be black. Both Delany sisters speak highly of him.
