## Resource

Harlem Week is back for its 52nd year, running August 1–16, free and streamed online, with a powerful theme: “Honoring Our Legacy.” This year marks the first without co-founder Lloyd A. Williams, who passed last August, as new leaders step in to carry forward the mission of uplifting Harlem’s spirit since the event’s humble 1974 start. Celebrating America’s 250th anniversary, the festivities include iconic honorees like Maxwell (30 years since his debut), gospel legend Richard Smallwood, and the Caribbean Cultural Center’s 50th anniversary. Expect street festivals, concerts, film, career fairs, and the grand Harlem Day — all designed to reconnect, inspire, and honor Harlem’s enduring cultural heartbeat.
