It is important to have permanent safe spaces in Harlem (Harlem Quotes)
I love Harlem, it’s like a second home to me (Harlem Quotes)
With ‘Dope Walk,’ I wanted to bring back kids dancing and having fun again. That’s how it used to be in Harlem. I remember everybody Harlem-shaking and ‘Chicken Noodle Soup’-ing. Those were some of the most fun and memorable times in my life. (Harlem Quotes)
I’ve lived all over the world, but Harlem is very special to me, and when I decided to open a restaurant near my home, I didn’t want it to be business as usual. (Harlem Quotes)
No individual has done more to help me pursue a career in science than my wife of forty-five years. I met Enid Cassandra Morgan during the election campaign of 1948 when she was a Sunday school teacher, a leader of the youth organizations of St. Phillips Episcopal Church, and the head of Harlem Youth for the election of Henry Wallace. (Harlem Quotes)
In Africa, you have no clean water, but you have good food options. In Harlem, everyone can shower and get fresh water, but you often have bad food options. (Harlem Quotes)
Growing up in Harlem, I had the chance to practice with a Negro League team. At fifteen, I was over six feet tall and a fair athlete, but my skills didn’t come close to some of the players I saw. (Harlem Quotes)
Sara Blair’s Harlem Crossroads is an important addition to the body of literature that currently exists about Harlem. It brilliantly illuminates the complex relationship between photographic representation and race, and adds new insight into the ways in which this one black community has figured in both the critical and public imaginations. Harlem Crossroads is a tour de force. (Harlem Quotes)
I am a chef through and through. Everything I do - whether it is cooking for kids in Harlem or cooking in a fine dining establishment - all my days are consumed by food. (Harlem Quotes)
I’m engaged in food on so many levels, and I love that. So my work, my craft, is around food, and writing is one aspect of it; communicating a narrative, cooking online is one aspect of it; solving the food chasm that we have in Harlem and finding a farmers market is another one, and all of them are equally exciting for me. (Harlem Quotes)
Clinton said he feels safe in Harlem. It’s the only place in the state Hillary is scared to look for him after dark. (Harlem Quotes)
You grow up in America and you’re told from day one, ‘This is the land of opportunity.’ That everybody has an equal chance to make it in this country. And then you look at places like Harlem, and you say, ‘That is absolutely a lie.’ (Harlem Quotes)
You know why Madison Avenue advertising has never done well in Harlem? We’re the only ones who know what it means to be Brand X. (Harlem Quotes)
I don’t write police stories, per se, but I usually write about areas that are very panoramic, like Harlem, or the Lower East Side, or a small urban city like Jersey City. (Harlem Quotes)
I’m lucky to live in New York, a city that offers so many options for lunch. I can pick up dumplings from a Midtown food truck, grab empanadas by the dozen in Spanish Harlem or get a fantastic bowl of ramen in the East Village. (Harlem Quotes)
I had seen the photographs of Harlem in its glory days, stylish men in bespoke suits, women so well dressed that they’d put the models in ‘Vogue’ to shame. I knew that Harlemites loved to dance, to pray, and to eat. (Harlem Quotes)
Blacks commit murder eight times more per capita than any other group in our society. If I had put all of my police officers on Park Avenue and none in Harlem, thousands and thousands more blacks would’ve been killed during the eight years that I was mayor. (Harlem Quotes)
Using the Africanist model, each generation should take the family name to a higher place. My father’s folks were sharecroppers in South Carolina. He went to Harlem. They were still poor, but they moved up. If my parents didn’t do this and offer me this background, I wouldn’t be here. (Harlem Quotes)
Finding creative and effective ways to simultaneously give back and economically empower people is something that is increasingly important. Not everyone can open a business and directly create jobs in the way that we have at Red Rooster Harlem. (Harlem Quotes)
The city of Paris, France, became a place of refuge for biracial Americans during slavery and at the time of the Harlem Renaissance for black musicians, fine artists, writers and others seeking opportunities to practice their craft free from American racism. (Harlem Quotes)
I came to Harlem from West Virginia when I was three, after my mother died. My father, who was very poor, gave me up to two wonderful people, my foster parents. (Harlem Quotes)
It doesn’t do good to open doors for someone who doesn’t have the price to get in. If he has the price, he may not need the laws. There is no law saying the Negro has to live in Harlem or Watts. (Harlem Quotes)
Everybody says ‘Good Morning’ in Harlem because it’s true! And that’s lovely. (Harlem Quotes)
The riot isn’t seen in the movie, but it is alluded to. He has this one speech that gives a great sense of texture and paints a picture of what was happening in Harlem then. (Harlem Quotes)
I think there’s some great stuff coming. I do feel that. I think we have reached our Harlem Renaissance. (Harlem Quotes)
From the small clubs of the Harlem Renaissance where he began playing saxophone to world tours for the biggest of the big bands, Benny Carter redefined American jazz. From the start, his fellow musicians said the way he played the sax was amazing. They say that about me, too. (Laughter.) But I don’t think they mean it in quite the same way. (Harlem Quotes)
It [the Harlem Renaissance] was a time of black individualism, a time marked by a vast array of characters whose uniqueness challenged the traditional inability of white Americans to differentiate between blacks. (Harlem Quotes)
What do we call our Harlem Renaissance? Maybe in the future, it won’t be just Latino, maybe it’ll be more multi-multi, because, you know, people are such fusions now, of so many different cultures. (Harlem Quotes)
You must understand as a kid of color in those days, the Harlem Globetrotters were like being movie stars (Harlem Quotes)
Melting pot Harlem - Harlem of honey and chocolate and caramel and rum and vinegar and lemon and lime and gall. Dusky dream Harlem rumbling into a nightmare tunnel where the subway from the Bronx keeps right on downtown (Harlem Quotes)
