Out and about, from Red Rooster to Angel of Harlem (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On any given Harlem evening there is so much to see and to do. Here are just three events I felt compelled to attend towards the end of last week, due to the great significance of each. Tuesday, Sept. 23, I was off to the 7th annual Maysles Documentary Center’s (MDC), Albie Award Dinner. It was held in the festive Red Rooster Restaurant venue so evocative of a 1930’s Uptown nightspot, the atmospheric Jenny’s Supper Club downstairs. Before feasting on delicious fried chicken, catfish and greens,
‘Every Inch a Lady’ — Audrey Smaltz publishes marvelous new memoir (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What makes fashionista Audrey Lavinia Smaltz’s new memoir, “Every Inch a Lady: My Amazing Journey from Dear Harlem to Haute Couture and Beyond” (with a foreword by Michael Kors), so vitally compelling? In view of today’s ever-escalating demonization, dismissal, and erasure, it can seem impossible for some African Americans that America ever actually advanced enough to have had a Black president.

Read excerpt
Between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. on the last Saturday in August, several thousand Harlem Book Fair attendees enjoyed a beautiful and edifying day in Harlem’s front yard, on the plaza in front of the Adam Clayton Powell Jr. State Office Building. Founded by Max Rodriguez, this year’s book fair was sponsored by the Bank of America. Anticipating the fair got me to thinking about one of Harlem’s most memorable, although long-lost, landmarks. It stood down the block, at the corner where CVS is now. Boastin
Soul satisfaction in today’s Black Hamptons: Sanford Biggers’s “Drift On” at the Parish (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On view at Water Mill’s innovative Parrish Art Museum in the Hamptons, “Sanford Biggers: Drift On” presents a major solo exhibition of the acclaimed Black artist’s oeuvre. The retrospective enriches the East End of Long Island through September 13, featuring new textile works, prints, and sculptures, and even including site-specific installations. Fascinated by both the inherent nature of materials and the power of symbols, such as clouds, which have intrigued him for decades, Biggers was born i
