I hope people will learn how Cab Calloway played a part as an artist, singer, dancer, song writer and author during the Harlem Rennisance and that they will get an idea of what it was like being an artist living back them.

"It was interesting, educational & fun. I hope it will evolve into something big." - Betty S.
