In the 1930s Harlem was the epicenter of jazz and nightlife in New York City. African American cartoonist Elmer Simms Campbell drew A Night-Club Map of 1930s Harlem in 1932 when he was looking for a decent job. The map shows Cab Calloway singing at the Cotton Club and Bill “Bojangles” Robinson performing his step dance at the Lafayette Theater.
