		Harlem is a place part-imagined, part-remembered, which for many comes into focus only with eyes squinted, the better to imagine this once-famous jazz club that now stands in ruin, or that dilapidated brownstone where a master poet toiled.
		It was this conundrum of Harlem streets, where the past is always partly in view, that struck me on the last afternoon of the Republican National Convention, a time when city convulsed with protests.
		It was hard not to think of Garvey, or of the Harlem Hellfighters, whose triumphant march in tattered uniforms fresh from the trenches of World War I is said by some, to have been the vision that sparked the Harlem Renaissance.

	Harlem River Drive
		The new parkway was to incorporate sections of the existing "Harlem River Driveway," a boulevard along the river, and an arched viaduct approach to the 178th Street and 179th Street tunnels.
		In 2003, the NYSDOT ceremonially re-designated the parkway as the "369th Harlem Hellfighters Drive," in honor of the all-fl regiment that fought to defend France during World War I. The regiment proved its mettle in a segregated Army, serving 191 days (longer than any other U.S unit during the war) without relinquishing any ground.

	Harlem Renaissance - Free net encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		By the turn of the century, Harlem became an attractive location for immigrants, and by early 1900s the population was chiefly German, Eastern European, or Jewish in the west, and Italian in the east (where Spanish Harlem is now).
		Finally, the Harlem Riot of 1935—set off in part by the growing economic hardship of the Depression and mounting tension between the fl community and the white shop-owners in Harlem who profited from that community—shattered the notion of Harlem as the Mecca of the New Negro.
		One of these was the future of the "New Negro." Artists and intellectuals of the Harlem Renaissance echoed the American progressivism in its faith in democratic reform, in its belief in art and literature as agents of change, and in its almost uncritical belief in itself and its future.

	Harlem in Montmartre
		While the Harlem Renaissance was taking off across the Atlantic, entertainers in Montmartre, the epicenter of the Parisian scene, contributed enthusiastically to a culture that thrived for two decades, until the occupation of the city by German troops on June 18, 1940.
		In Harlem in Montmartre, William Shack takes a fascinating look at this extraordinary cultural moment, one in which African American musicians could flee the racism of the United States to pursue their lives and art in the relatively free context of bohemian Europe.
		His book is the first comprehensive treatment of the rise and decline of the African American music community in Paris; in it, he considers the international dimensions of fl experience in the modern era and explores the similarities and differences of Harlem-style jazz and culture in Europe and America.

		Grade 5-8-In writing this account of the 369th Infantry Regiment from New York City, Myers was joined by Miles, a documentary filmmaker and official historian of the group that came to be known as the Harlem Hellfighters in the early 20th century.
		The authors begin with an explanation of the racial conditions and wartime roles of African Americans throughout history, describe the regiment's establishment and development, and then focus on its role in World War I. As a whole, the text is disappointing and often frustrating.
		Abruptly, the war ends and the book concludes with a chapter called Heroes and Men that doesn't sufficiently convey the lasting impact of the Hellfighters.
