The other night at a friend’s house, I sat and watched Eddie Murphy’s 1989 film “Harlem Nights”. I found myself paying absolutely no attention to the dialogue and being engrossed in the amazing costume design. Sometimes I think in my former life, I was a speakeasy regular during the late 20’s. Diamond headpiece and feather boa included.
Living in such a historic neighborhood for black culture like Harlem, I find myself wandering the streets of Striver’s Row to marvel at the century-old brownstones and picturing myself at a cocktail with the likes of Zora Neale Hurston or Langston Hughes.
