Tracing the evolution of HARLEM WEEK, now thirty six-years old (1974), is
very simple— it began as HARLEM DAY, a one-day tribute that was so
astonishingly and unexpectedly successful that more days were needed to
showcase the community’s rich economic, political and cultural history, to
say nothing of the current, ever increasing artistic talent in Harlem.
Above all, HARLEM DAY—in its unique way—was a day of encouragement and
fellowship for New Yorkers in general and Harlemites in particular, many
of whom had struggled for some years to see a positive future for Urban
America. |
