Harlem

Harlem was a very interesting place. It was a place where a lot of black culture stayed and many people still went down for some entertainment, but will leave right afterwords. People never quite realized the tough times in Harlem. The entertainment might be good, but the reality was never really realized. This reality was being preached by many black rights activists on different corners of Harlem. One corner that was at West 135th Street and Lenox Avenue was inhabited by the popular Marcus Garvey. He was a member of the NAACP and created an organization called Universal Negro Improvement Association. This organization was heavy into the black rights activists and held speeches and parades that were huge. Since Harlem had such a flourishing atmosphere for speeches and it rounded up groups of people easily.
