Diese Kirche in #Harlem, in der Dietrich #Bonhoeffer den Gottesdienst besucht hat, war leider schon geschlossen, als wir vorbeikamen.

While many were taking in "Barbenheimer" this past weekend the fam and I instead saw the fabulous Classical Theater of Harlem free production of "Malvolio" outside in Marcus Garvey Park (as we do every year!).
You won't experience a more satisfying, riotous, entertaining work of art this summer, I promise you. (And it's playing for one last week.)

Aaron Douglas, 'Aspiration' (1936)

"Aspiration," created for the Texas Centennial of 1936, conveys the artist’s perception of a link between African/Egyptian and African American cultures—rejecting European claims to Egypt’s historical legacy.

Today in Writing History May 22, 1967: Writer and activist Langston Hughes died. Hughes was a leader of the Harlem Renaissance and one of the early pioneers of Jazz Poetry. During the Civil Rights Movement, from 1942-1962, he wrote a weekly column for the black-owned Chicago Defender. His poetry and fiction depicted the lives and struggles of working-class African Americans. Much of his writing dealt with racism and black pride. Like many black artists and intellectuals of his era, he was attracted to communism as an alternative to the racism and segregation of America. He travelled to the Soviet Union and many of his poems were published in the CPUSA newspaper. He also participated in the movement to free the Scottsboro Boys and supported the Republican cause in Spain. He opposed the U.S. entering World War II and he signed a statement in support of Stalin’s purges.

How did #Harlem become a home for the Black community? This week, we celebrate the work of Philip Payton, known as the "Father of Black Harlem", who set the stage for Harlem to become a capital of Black creativity and activism. 🖤#blackhistorymonth
I’m watching season 2 Epi 1 of #Harlem and these LGBTQ scenes are 😂😂😂😂 like, I can’t. As a bi woman I get so annoyed at the “representation” we get. #CouchCousins

Nearly missed this sign while walking along 120th Street near Malcolm X Blvd in #Harlem, during my visit home for the Yuletide season.
This is an excerpt from MLK Jr’s “Where Do We Go from Here?” sermon at the Southern Christian Leadership Conference annual convention in Atlanta, GA in 1967.
Hate is a poison that afflicts both those who weld it and those they target. Can America finally rid itself of this toxin??

When you find street parking in #harlem #nyc 🙏🏾 Haven’t driven my car up in years #christmas 🎄
The #TonyAwards are moving out of #Broadway and up to #WashingtonHeights! June 11, 2023. So very cool. Can't help wondering, though, given #Tonys history and all, why #Harlem never got a shot.
