Aida Overton Walker (14 February 1880 – 11 October 1914), also known as Ada Overton Walker and as "The Queen of the Cakewalk", was an African-American Vaudeville performer and wife of George Walker |
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!
