When I went on my walk through Harlem, one of the things that interested me was West 135th Street and Seventh Avenue, where the famous poet James Weldon Johnson lived. What was interesting about Harlem to me was that so many different people with different careers lived so close together in the same city. The Delany sisters lived close to where Johnson lived. His poetry had a major impact on how people viewed Harlem. James and the Delany sisters both had the same opinoin about Harlem: They all loved it a lot and they couldn't imagine living anyplace else.
