To be in Harlem during Black History Month stirs memories of its rich history, particularly the Harlem Renaissance. Authors like Langston Hughes, Claude McKay, Zora Neale Hurston and Jean Toomer among others, inspired millions of people with the idea that there was no ceiling on our possibilites or potential. Speaking to a new generation of young people - today in Harlem - I hope to remind them that the same potential for greatness that their forbearers exhibited, resides within them as well.
So, if you are in NYC tomorrow, meet me at the Hip Hop Culture Center or the House of Hoops!
What’s your Red Rubber Ball?!
