I have 5 two-hundred page books by my bed waiting to be read! How many do you have???) We can talk about it at the Harlem Book Fair. Leading up to the book fair are the Friday night Wheatley Book Awards at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. Featuring the music of Atiba Wilson and the Befo Quotet,  and the Harlem Book Fair Poets of the Dispossessed, the Grammy Awards will have nothing on this event.

See you in July!   Max Rodriguez Founder, Harlem Book Fair Cruise the historic streets of the Black capital of the world and see over 40 historic locations associated with Harlem's history. Special attention will be paid to sights pertaining to literary Harlem such as the Amsterdam Newspaper Office, the Langston Hughes House, Niggerarti Manor, Strivers Row, Dark Tower and the former residence of Rudolph Fisher. This multimedia experience takes you to actual sights and locations and presents applicable archival footage, rare prints and recordings at the sights where history happened. Tours should be more than guides speaking for history; the  Harlem Book Fair Multimedia Bus Tour allows history to speak for itself. Working with community partners, such as the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, and the Apollo Theater, Harlem Heritage Tours has developed a series of multimedia bus/walking tours that present archival video and sound at the very sight where history happened, adding a human touch while bringing the past to life. We hope you will add this piece of history to your Harlem Book Fair weekend!  WHERE TO STAY. Will Your Harlem Book Fair Weekend be a Harlem experience or a New York City experience?
