East Harlem Revisited as told by Christopher Bell
For nearly a decade, East Harlem author Christopher Bell has been
documenting the history of the East Harlem community. Join him as he
discusses the photographs and oral histories he has collected for a revision
of East Harlem Revisited (Arcadia, 2010), a fresh look at this historic
neighborhood through rare photographic images. Photographs taken from
rooftops, at family gatherings, and of sports and other events celebrate a
bygone era and the neighborhood’s diversity. Photographs of the
neighborhood’s tenements and public housing depict East Harlem’s changing
landscape, while images of famous residents celebrate the many talented
individuals who have called East Harlem home.
