Harlem Semester Walking Tours!

Dear Zakettes,

Harlem Semester has arranged for thematic walking tours of Harlem for linked classes. If you would like to go on one of these tours, I’ll need to know which one by next Monday’s class. You can see the list at the end of this post. (You are not confined to the ones that are earmarked as having special interest for our class). Also, we have purchased a block of tickets for the Meshell Ndegeocello WIP showing of, “Can I Get a Witness”: The Gospel of James Baldwin, which will be on March 4th at Harlem Stage.

HARLEM SEMESTER WALKING TOURS“Can I Get Witness?” is a Pan-African Church Service inspired by James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time.  The following students expressed high interest. I need you to confirm your desire for a ticket preferably by the end of class today, but absolutely by Wednesday (2/24) morning.
