A neighborhood with a complex history that has shaped America's cultural and political landscape. From its contributions to the civil rights movement, to welcoming immigrants with open arms Harlem has also been brought to its knees by poverty crime and racial discrimination, but it has also been lifted up by activism music and art.
On this edition I take a tour of harlem with Derrick Edwards (www.freetoursbyfoot.com) then stop by the Schomburg Center, for a Motown Exhibition. I also talk to Marcus Tortorici, an Alabama native and new resident of Harlem.
