Harlem’s Apollo Theater opened in 1934 and has hosted some of the greatest singers, dancers, and comedians, from Duke Ellington to Aretha Franklin to Savion Glover. To accompany the joint Apollo-Smithsonian exhibit, this volume contains over 300 photos, along with essays on the Theater’s history, its role in the Harlem Renaissance, and the significant part it has played in the wider American culture.
