Utilizing important films and the resources of the Schomburg Center as a base we will discuss and study the artistic and cultural history of Harlem and visit many of the iconic venues that include the Apollo Theatre, Morgan and Marvin Smith Photo Studios, The Savoy and the Cotton Club. We will interact with special guest artists and scholars currently contributing to the still vibrant artistic and cultural scene and visit contemporary venues to take in live performances at the Nuyorican Café, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Dance Theatre of Harlem, African Burial Ground Museum, Puff Daddy's Bad Boy Entertainment Studios, Oprah Winfrey's production of The Color Purple as well as walking tours of Harlem (current offices of former president Bill Clinton), Brooklyn (the backdrop and headquarters of Spike Lee's 40Acres & a Mule Productions), Greenwich Village (the home of many Harlem Renaissance era legends), and the Bronx (the mythological home of Hip Hop).
