Pearl fused spirituals, jazz and blues and then coupling these music forms with the literacy works of black writers, Primus' choreographic voice — though strong — resonated primarily for and to the black community. Her many works ‘Strange Fruit’, ‘Negro Speaks of Rivers’, ‘Hard Time Blues’, and more spoke on very socially important topics. Her creative endeavors in political and social change makes Primus arguably one of the most political choreographers of her time because of her awareness of the issues of African Americans, particularly during the period between World War I and II.
