A two-year series of panel discussions and lectures exploring the history of Harlem as a global hub of arts, culture, and activism for the African Diaspora.

Harlem As An Incubator is a series of programming to present the history of Harlem as an incubator of arts, culture, and activism for people of the African Diaspora, specifically, and the world, more generally. Through lectures, public discussions, and readings, Harlem As An Incubator will provide in-depth programming to construct a more holistic cultural narrative of Harlem beyond the currently limited focus of the Harlem Renaissance, the drug epidemic of the 1980s, and current gentrification. Programming will focus on significant people, organizations, and places of the African Diaspora and radical people of color active in Harlem during the 20th century.
