7th Avenue and the Delaney's

I think it is really fitting how the Delaney's went from their small town roots to one of the most active and famous streets in one of New York's most well-known neighborhoods. 7th Avenue, home of both the Delaney family apartment and Bessie's dental practice overlooked the center of black culture and developments of the day. Just from looking out the windows they would have seen a wide variety of the churches, clubs and distinguished citizens of Harlem. They were in the center of it all. I can see why Bessie had her office where she did (besides being near family) it was a bustling place and she was right in the middle of the action.
