I stumbled across this web site waiting for my daughter to come stairs so that I can take them out for breakfast on their first day of school.

All of the new construction is walking distance from my house.

The Globetrotters are not from Harlem (Chitown I believe), I don't even know where the Harlem Shuffle comes from, but I'm sure it is not from Harlem.
As far as the Renaissance, and I know this will make me sound a lot like Chris H., but that was merely a 10 year aberration, that no one really cares about other than AA Lit students and Harlem fanatics. Besides that ended almost a century ago.
Harlem was always in a state of flux, and while many of the changes are for the better -- they are just happening so rapidly it is almost staggering.

Yep, Troy, I do believe that Abe Saperstein, who originated and managed the Harlem Globe Trotters, began his project in Chicago.
But don't dismiss the Harlem Renassiance so lightly, young man. This period was a water shed for blacks because it exposed to the white literati what blacks were already were aware of; that they were just as creative and talented as whites. Yes, it was over by the end of the 1920s decade but the fact that its heyday was 80 years ago does not diminish its place in American literature. |

Pretty soon the only Negroes in Harlem will be statues and on street signs
It's like that in lots of places in St. Louis that had German names and stuff. All the Germans are gone now and its mostly blacks, Mexicans and Asians.
Ahhh Progress |
