They [the police] learned something from them Harlem riots. They used to beat your head right in public, but now they only beat it after they get you down to the station house Picture Quote #1

It's not easy to know what is true for you or me at twenty-two, my age. But I guess I'm what I feel and see and hear, Harlem, I hear you Picture Quote #1

Is sending the Harlem Globetrotters and Dennis Rodman to the DPRK strange? In a word, yes Picture Quote #1

I got Sonny up to Harlem, and we started street playin’ in New York. We did that for three or four years and survived. We brought it back to the streets again Picture Quote #1

Living at the YMCA in Harlem dramatically broadened my view of the world Picture Quote #1

Michael Ralph brilliantly plays the street prophet, a West Indian who foreshadows the Harlem riot Picture Quote #1

I grew up in Harlem. My grandmother was one of the best cooks around, but the first thing she did on Sunday mornings when she started cooking a daylong meal was to take a big block of lard from the back of the refrigerator and throw it into the pan. I know how Hispanics buy their food, and it is not always nutritious Picture Quote #1

I worked at an old folks’ home once in Harlem, and I was an activities volunteer. I used to do all these plays with the old people. I did ‘The Wizard of Oz;’ it was adapted. There was a guy there who played the harmonica, so we had an overture, and The Wizard was 96 Picture Quote #1

What makes Harlem special is that at any given time, food seekers can not only find food deeply rooted in Southern, Latin and African traditions, but also can taste the newer Senegalese, Chinese, and Italian influences as well Picture Quote #1

After I’d been in college for a couple years I’d read Shakespeare and Frost and Chaucer and the poets of the Harlem Renaissance. I’d come to appreciate how gorgeous the English language could be. But most fantasy novels didn’t seem to make the effort Picture Quote #1

The thing that surprised me the most is just how much money women that weren’t rich were paying for their hair. When you’re in a beauty parlor in Harlem next to abandoned buildings and somebody’s paying five grand for a weave, that’s a bit much Picture Quote #1

The one thing you’ll notice when you’re walking through Harlem is every single passing car is playing different music and there’s also music that’s being played out of windows Picture Quote #1

Thinking back to boyhood days, I remember the bright sun on Harlem streets, the easy rhythms of black and brown bodies, the sounds of children streaming in and out of red brick tenements Picture Quote #1

I was a kid who liked art and theater and dance and music, but if you lived in Harlem, high culture was somewhere else, and it wasn’t black Picture Quote #1

After years of research, scientists recently reported that there is, indeed, arroz in Spanish Harlem. A full tongue and an empty brain are seldom parted Picture Quote #1
