Honoring the Ancestors: Celebrating the Harlem Markers Project

Join us for an unforgettable celebration as a talented ensemble of musicians, actors, and writers gather to honor the people, organizations, and events that shape Harlem's rich and vibrant history. This special evening pays tribute to distinguished figures such as Malcolm X, Althea Gibson, Marcus Garvey, Dorothy Maynor, Coleman Hawkins, Pauli Murray, Larry Neal, Queen Mother Moore, and many more. Don't miss this chance to experience the spirit of Harlem through the stories of its most influential contributors. Long-time Harlem resident and CUNY Professor Emeritus William Seraile highlights the significance of this project, stating, "Harlem lacks an identity. Not an identity of culture but rather an identity of its history: Who did what where? Who lived there? It begs the question: Where are the historic markers? Now, through the SIGNS OF THE TIMES, Harlem has visual reminders of its unique history. Honoring the Ancestors: Celebrating the Harlem Markers Project.
