See Reclining Liberty art installation in Harlem’s Morningside Park
Lady Liberty is hanging, actually reclining, in Harlem these days. In fact, she’s going to be stretching out and making herself comfortable for a few months-until April 2022. Reclining Liberty, the name of the art installation, really gives the appearance of her getting ready to chill…hmm well… sort of maybe take a nap in the park. Can’t blame her. Don’t we all feel like that sometimes.
Reclining Liberty is a 25 foot long sculpture by Zaq Landsberg. It’s very impressive to see from afar and up close! I took a ton of pictures of Reclining Liberty because it was truly a joy to see-especially since it’s right here in my neighborhood of Central Harlem!
If you get a chance, go see the installation at 120th Street and Morningside Avenue! It will be worth the visit!

Free film screening in Harlem, See Black and Blue Oct. 9
There’s an opportunity to see a free film in Harlem next week at Magic Johnson Theater!. It’s called Black and Blue! Wednesday, October 9th at 7 pm you can see this free film by using this link. As always, it’s on a first come first serve basis.
Black and Blue is a fast-paced action thriller about a rookie cop (Academy Award® nominee Naomie Harris) who inadvertently captures the murder of a young drug dealer on her body cam. After realizing that the murder was committed by corrupt cops, she teams up with the one person from her community who is willing to help her (Tyrese Gibson) as she tries to escape both the criminals out for revenge and the police who are desperate to destroy the incriminating footage.
