Gladys Bentley at the Ubangi Club in Harlem, early 1930s.
Gladys Bentley (1907-1960) joined the Harlem Renaissance jazz scene at age 16 and became an instant sensation and gender identity pioneer. She performed piano and vocals at the most popular gay bars, wearing men’s clothing, and openly flirted with women in the audience. She headlined in the early 1930s at Harlem's Ubangi Club, where she was backed up by a chorus line of drag queens. She dressed in men's clothes (including her signature: tuxedo and top hat), played piano, and sang her own raunchy lyrics to popular tunes of the day in a deep, growling voice.

#storytime: I've been sitting on these drawings for months bc I wanted to write the interview and post them with it#but oh lordt it's an endeavor and a half bc the questions they ask on that progrum are incredibly unique and precise#I'd have to think up a lot of lore#and research a ton of stuff for the replies#and also I'd have to think up AU sean hotones but that's easy I'd just give him a full head of hair#I have ONE question and answer written down and maybe one day will write more who knows#he's one of the bitches to bring in a friend (emotional support husband & bestie stepkid who squats in his NY place anyway)#eddie munson#steddie#stranger things#act verse#old steddies#man's 90% eyeball 10% scribble tattoos

For years, May 1 was celebrated as International Workers' Day, also known as Labor Day in some countries, and often referred to as May Day. Here, in 1929, these five South Carolinan textile strike leaders marched in the Communist May Day Parade at Union Square. They carried signs, some of which pleaded for help, and others read, "Everyone on the picket line! Defy the Injunction!" May Day in New York passed quietly.
