Inspired by Harlem, NY rent parties of the 1920s and 30s. Families invited friends into their apartments for jazz by local musicians, poetry reading, dancing, and a menu of soul food. In a spirited demonstration of community and willingness to help a neighbor in need, a hat was passed so guests could drop in money to help pay the rent!
Jazz music by “The Alex Collins Trio” featuring Alex Collins, pianist/composer/orchestrator and recording artist.
Featured Guest Speaker: A’Lelia Bundles, award-winning news producer and author, including On Her Own Ground: The Life and Times of Madam C.J. Walker
