The most famous jazz musician and composer to appear in New York City during and after the Negro Renaissance was Duke Ellington.

Eggleston, of Ellington, Conn., preached in the afternoon. Notice was given of a permanent series of weekly prayer meetings to be held on Friday evenings, and at the first of these, May 21, a committee, consisting of Henry C. Bowen, Richard Hale, John T.
