“A Great Day in Harlem,” the first public event of HARLEM
WEEK 2013, attracted over 42,000 people to Ulysses S.Grant National Memorial Park throughout the day. This
year’s event was a salute to the 150th Anniversary of theEmancipation Proclamation.
In the first segment, attendees enjoyed the Cultural Showcasewhich featured Harlem Arts Alliance member performers from
selected local arts & culture organizations. The second segment
was a Gospel Showcase featuring The ARC Gospel Choir,The St. Paul’s Baptist Church Choir and others. The very
popular “Fashion Fusion” Showcase, which embraced our
2013 theme, “Living the Dream: Celebrating History,”was the best yet, attracting regional and international models and
designers. Following the fabulous fashion showcase, it was show
time: “A Concert Under the Stars” featuring a special tribute
to Motown legend Stevie Wonder’s famous “Songs in theKey of Life.” Unfortunately Mother Nature had other plans and a
torrential down pour forced the cancellation of the Stevie Wonder
tribute. We rescheduled the tribute to take place onHARLEM DAY, Sunday, August 18th.
