EVENT DETAILS

With its rich history in African American politics, journalism, athletics, and culture, Harlem has evolved into one of the world's most celebrated neighborhoods. To complement the exhibition Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow, Barry Lewis discusses the neighborhood's enduring architecture, from its classic Victorian brownstones to its renowned ballrooms.

Barry Lewis, an architectural historian who teaches at Cooper Union Forum, is the former co-host of a popular walking tour series on PBS.
