Marjo’s Reviews > Harlem Rhapsody > Status Update

- so 7/10? I like emotionally impactful books I guess and if it followed maybe the life of Langston or countee I feel like I would of liked it or even W.E.B Du Bois because I would love to see how he put his affairs at work and in his personal life in order

-idk I loved searching and learning about the black voices that made a difference in breaking some of the racism back then and the story isn't boring, she the plot to not be slow but there was no emotional impact for me or at least for jessie fauset. I don't like following a story with winy cheater that doesn't like it to be done to her
- as if I am much better lol, no condemnation Marjo

-I loveee the young black men in this story like countee and Langston, they are just sweet boys trying to make their talent be shown, especially when society at their time didn't want to give them that platform
- v glad that she quit it with Will, very uninterested and grossed out But there are elements in this book I feel like are missing for what I like to read. I do like the empowerment of showcasing black voices

- I think its getting less about their relationship which like mama I'm very displeased of loll
- I like getting to know all the important black voices during the Harlem renaissance and how they moved African Americans in all ages
- I really wonder if this affair was this dramatic during that time or if that's even mentioned me a real affair
-I like Du Bois little fact about alcohol and enslaved men and their owners

- I really don't like their affair, it reminds me of every man that has ever gaslighted me to feeling bad about them when they got caught and they say sweet words to me EWWWWW
- I find it crazy tho that slavery was only abolished 160 years ago that disgusting!
- men of color got the right to vote 25 years after they were supposed to be allowed to vote
-MR. Du Bois just has so many mistresses
-Jessie get it together
