Some historical goodies

I thought y'all might enjoy these bits! First, a clip from a documentary about 133rd St in Harlem, also known as Swing Street, where jazz clubs and speakeasies ran underground in the '20s and '30s. These clubs were desegregated, and also one of the only places to get a drink in the city when all the downtown clubs closed. A GLBT performer is mentioned; I imagine places like this were where Bertie or Jeeves could have partied swimmingly while in New York.
