Harlem is really a melting pot for a lot of different people. When you look at Harlem - and I lived there almost five years - most of the people who live in Harlem are transplants. They migrate to Harlem from another place.

Mike Colter

The Negro and all things negroid had become a fad, and Harlem had become a shrine to which feverish pilgrimages were in order . . . Seventh Avenue was the gorge into which Harlem cliff dwellers crowded to promenade.

Wallace Thurman

Melting pot Harlem-Harlem of honey and chocolate and caramel and rum and vinegar and lemon and lime and gall. Dusky dream Harlem rumbling into a nightmare tunnel where the subway from the Bronx keeps right on downtown.

Langston Hughes

When you look at Harlem - and I lived there almost five years - most of the people who live in Harlem are transplants. They migrate to Harlem from another place. A lot of them are from the south, so they bring those southern influences with them.

Mike Colter

I'm sort of obsessed with Harlem. Just its history. My father did the music for a play called 'The Huey P. Newton Story,' and they did a lot of work in Harlem. So as a little girl, I spent a lot of time in Harlem Library.

Harlem was a development, a developer's dream and a place where residents had more space and more amenities than ever before. The subway reached 145th street about 1904, and it seemed that Harlem's destiny was to become largely a preserve of successful ethnics relocating and arriving. Then, overnight, the bust took place.

There are people who want to become rich; they become rich. If you persist you can fulfill any kind of stupidity

Rajneesh

A business owner can become rich exponentially and people who work for wages become rich incrementally.

Robert Kiyosaki

Sara Blair's Harlem Crossroads is an important addition to the body of literature that currently exists about Harlem. It brilliantly illuminates the complex relationship between photographic representation and race, and adds new insight into the ways in which this one black community has figured in both the critical and public imaginations. Harlem Crossroads is a tour de force.

Dawoud Bey

Leverage is the reason some people become rich and others do not become rich.

Robert Kiyosaki

Harlem's streets lead backward, into history, straight to a work such as 'This Was Harlem.'

Darryl Pinckney

I don't know who I would be if I weren't this child from Harlem, this woman from Harlem. It's in me so deep.

Ruby Dee

As long as black people preserve their culture in Harlem, Harlem will always be alive.

Cheo Hodari Coker

'Harlem: The Unmaking of a Ghetto' is a surprise and a fresh way of looking at Harlem, connecting the black district with the architecture of its historical past.

Darryl Pinckney

And Alpo ordered guys to slaughter guys, and the whole Harlem was in tears when Rich Porter died.
