Image 2,3, and 4 descriptions: A photo of Gladys Bentley. The text states "Gladys Bentley was a fabulous Harlem renaissance era performer, entertainer, singer, pianist, and provocateur. In the 1930's she was one of Harlem's best-known Black entertainers. She wore immaculate suits while belting her tunes! We love learning about her raunchy lyrics and flirty behavior during the prohibition and great depression- times when it wasn't easy to flaunt expectations as a Black queer woman. She did that!"
