The triumphant story of how an all-Black Broadway cast and crew
changed musical theatre-and the world-forever. "This musical
introduced Black excellence to the Great White Way. Broadway was
forever changed and we, who stand on the shoulders of our brilliant
ancestors, are charged with the very often elusive task of carrying
that torch into our present."-Billy Porter, Tony, Grammy, and Emmy
Award-winning actor If Hamilton, Rent, or West Side Story captured
your heart, you'll love this in-depth look into the rise of the
1921 Broadway hit, Shuffle Along, the first all-Black musical to
succeed on Broadway. No one was sure if America was ready for a
show featuring nuanced, thoughtful portrayals of Black
characters-and the potential fallout was terrifying. But from the
first jazzy, syncopated beats of composers Noble Sissle and Eubie
Blake, New York audiences fell head over heels. Footnotes is the
story of how Sissle and Blake, along with comedians Flournoy Miller
and Aubrey Lyles, overcame poverty, racism, and violence to harness
the energy of the Harlem Renaissance and produce a runaway Broadway
hit that launched the careers of many of the twentieth century's
most beloved Black performers. Born in the shadow of slavery and
establishing their careers at a time of increasing demands for
racial justice and representation for people of color, they broke
down innumerable barriers between Black and white communities at a
crucial point in our history. Author and pop culture expert Caseen
Gaines leads readers through the glitz and glamour of New York City
during the Roaring Twenties to reveal the revolutionary impact one
show had on generations of Americans, and how its legacy continues
to resonate today. Praise for Footnotes: "A major contribution to
culture."-Brian Jay Jones, New York Times bestselling author of Jim
Henson: The Biography "With meticulous research and smooth
storytelling, Caseen Gaines significantly deepens our understanding
of one of the key cultural events that launched the Harlem
Renaissance."-A Lelia Bundles, New York Times bestselling author of
