Leslie Cunningham will be signing copies of her books Brown Skin Showgirls, Vol. 1 & Vol. 2.
Discover the untold story of the Black and Cuban women who transformed American entertainment in Leon Claxton’s Harlem in Havana Revue. Vol. 1 features striking black-and-white portraits of bold burlesque stars, exotic dancers, and cross-dressers who broke barriers and redefined popular culture. Vol. 2: The Cuban Edition captures the vibrant spirit of the 1950s with stunning images of Cuban showgirls who brought rhumba, salsa, and calypso to life. Together, they celebrate a groundbreaking legacy of rhythm, beauty, and resistance.
