I am the author of the book Walking Harlem: the Ultimate Guide to the Cultural Capital of Black America (Rutgers Univ. Press, 2018). As a long term Harlem resident (40 years) I am highly qualified to show tourists what and where important sites existed and/or continue to exist today. With a background in the study of ethnomusicology, my research digs deep into the colorful and fascinating history and culture of Harlem with stories that bring to life Harlem’s history beyond commercial tours on the market today
