Framed Print of Cotton Club Menu, 1938
In 1920, heavyweight boxing champion Jack Johnson opened Club Deluxe, on the corner of 142nd Street and Lenox Avenue in Harlem. Owney Madden, a bootlegger and gangster, took over the club in 1923 and changed its name to the Cotton Club. The club was a whites-only establishment even though it featured many of the best black entertainers and jazz musicians of the era. Eventually, in deference to a request by Duke Ellington, the club slightly relaxed its policy of excluding black customers. The Cotton Club closed for good in 1940, under pressure from higher rents, changing tastes and a federal investigation into tax evasion by Manhattan nightclub owners.
