Season 1 Episode 4 - Harlem

Harlem is one of the most famous neighborhoods in the city and one of the most talked about. For some New Yorkers it represents a Mecca of black American culture and history while for others it is a dangerous neighborhood with a reputation for violence. Harlem’s powerful history makes it an icon for blackness and black culture. Our feelings towards the neighborhood, inherited or learned, are also mixed with our feelings towards blackness.
