Allied with W.E.B. Du Bois, she fought for promotion and equal pay against entrenched sexism and racism. Andrews also played a key role in the Harlem Renaissance, supporting writers and intellectuals with dedicated workspace at her 135th Street Branch Library. After hours she cohosted a legendary salon that drew the likes of Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston. Her work as an actress and playwright helped established the Harlem Experimental Theater. Ethelene Whitmire's new biography offers the first full-length portrait of Andrews' activism, engagement with the arts of the Harlem Renaissance, and work with the NYPL"--Provided by publisher.Library directorsUnited StatesBiographyAfrican American women librariansBiographyHarlem RenaissanceAfrican AmericansNew York (State)New YorkIntellectual lifeAfrican American theaterNew York (State)New YorkHistory20th centuryDiscrimination in employmentHarlem (New York, N.Y.)Intellectual lifeElectronic books.Library directorsAfrican American women librariansHarlem Renaissance.African AmericansIntellectual life.African American theaterHistoryDiscrimination in employment.025.1/97092Whitmire Ethelene1968-993521MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464989503321Regina Anderson Andrews, Harlem Renaissance librarian2274948UNINA
