A visit to Harlem, to find out what it means to be black in America
On the eve of the U.S. election, I decided to take a visit to Harlem, New York City: I needed to find out a little more about what it means to be black in America. In Austria, as in the U.S., emotions were running extremely high. The economy was unraveling; the need for change became more dire every day.
Now three months later, with Barack Obama in office, knee-deep in the world’s mess, the scenes on the Harlem streets stay with me.
