Kudos are extended to Leo Downes and Noble Bratton for organizing a wonderful, standing room only, Hubert Harrison event at the Harlem YMCA (180 W. 135th St.) last night. The "Y" was a site of many Harrison talks and it is situated only 1 1/2 blocks from Harrison's former apartment at 231 W. 134th Street (which, when he was alive, was the most densely populated block in Harlem). As expected from Leo, Noble, and the attendees, the discussion after the slide presentation and talk was high caliber with many insightful questions and points raised. As with previous Harrison events, discussions continued on well past the end of the event.
