Florence+Mills

By Aliyah Grade 4

Florence Mills was a singer, dancer and actress in the Harlem Renaissance. The Harlem Renaissance had many plays, and Florence put her heart into every play she did, When she sang, she would have one long, beautiful note at the end of her songs which made the crowd go wild. When she died at 32 years old, she had a wooden coffin with pure golden edges. Towards the middle of the funeral a plane landed a flock of black crows. At least she died a strong, Black woman.
