The irony of the Cotton Club lies in its exclusive white clientele despite featuring some of the finest Black jazz artists of the Harlem Renaissance. While Black musicians like Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong performed there, they were not allowed to attend as patrons. This juxtaposition highlighted the racial segregation of the era, where the talent and artistry of Black performers were celebrated, yet they remained marginalized in society. Thus, the venue epitomized the paradox of cultural appreciation versus racial discrimination.
