Ruth Bayton was an African American performer who became popular in Europe in the 1920's. She was born in White Stone, Virginia in 1903 and lived in Philadelphia, Baltimore and New York before leaving for the Continent. - Source: flickr. |
The 1920s - 1940s are most interesting to me. There was the Roaring Twenties, Black Thursday, the Depression, Volstead Act, Women's History; the list goes on and on. I also find the Gregorian, Victorian, Edwardian era interesting as well. I hope you enjoy your visit!
