[newyorkthegoldenage]

Nancy Cunard, of the English shipping family, announced on May 2, 1932 that she had been disinherited by her mother for her relationship with Henry Crowder, an African-American jazz musician. Cunard was a famously flamboyant bohemian writer and political activist whose best-known work was editing Negro Anthology, a huge compendium of work by Black writers. The photo shows Cunard with John Banting, left, a painter, and Taylor Gordon, right, a writer, in front of the Harlem hotel.
