Groovin’ in the Park concentrates its efforts at positive developments within the community and view this event as another avenue to respond to one such need.
Groovin’ in the Park has become a staple in the annual summer concert calendar. Now, families and concert goers and visitors from around the world plan their vacation around the Groovin’ in the Park Concert.

Black Lives Matter Street Mural in Harlem – Kick Off Event
About this Event
Protests ignited by the tragic death of George Floyd have galvanized the “Black Lives Matter” (BLM) movement worldwide. Many cities around the country have been inspired by the Mayor of Washington DC, who recently renamed a street leading to the White House, Black Lives Matter Way, and painted the roadbeds with the message. Following the initial media release regarding DC’s effort, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced his goal to install a “Black Lives Matter” street mural in each of NYC’s boroughs.
Harlem Park to Park is excited to announce that Harlem is one of Manhattan’s mural locations! By installing a mural in the epicenter of African American culture, Harlem is presented with a unique opportunity to elevate the symbolic nature of the BLM street murals installed around the U.S. and become the global symbol for the “Call to Action” to Heal and Prosper as a community, nation, and world.
Adam Clayton Powell Jr Blvd between 125th Street and 127th Street will be the location for this historic event. Named after the first African American to be elected from New York to Congress and who served as a national spokesman on civil rights and social issues, the corridor is also adjacent to the Harlem State Office building, also named after Adam Clayton Powell Jr to commemorate his civil rights legacy.

Use the Power You Have, A Brown Woman’s Guide to Politics and Political Change with Pramila Jayapal presented by The New Republic and Politics & Prose
The New Republic contributing editor, Kimberlé Crenshaw, talks with Pramila Jayapal about her new book.
In November 2016, Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, the first Indian American woman to serve in that role. Two years later, the “fast-rising Democratic star and determined critic of President Donald Trump,” according to Politico’s Playbook 2017 “Power List,” won reelection with more votes than any other member of the House. Jayapal, co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, proved her progressive bonafides when she introduced the most comprehensive Medicare-for-all bill to Congress in February.
Behind the story of Jayapal’s rise to political prominence lie over two decades of devoted advocacy on behalf of immigrants and progressive causes–and years of learning how to turn activism into public policy that serves all Americans. Use the Power You Have is Jayapal’s account of the path from sixteen-year-old Indian immigrant to grassroots activist, state senator, and now progressive powerhouse in Washington, DC.
Written with passion and insight, Use the Power You Have offers a wealth of ideas and inspiration for a new generation of engaged citizens interested in fighting back and making change, whether in Washington or in their own communities.
You can purchase Jayapal’s Use the Power You Have HERE.
Kimberlé Crenshaw, Professor of Law at UCLA and Columbia Law School, Executive Director of the African American Policy Forum, and host of the hit series “Under The Blacklight: The Intersectional Failures that COVID Lays Bare,” is a leading authority on Civil Rights, Black feminist legal theory, Critical Race Theory, and race, racism and the law. She developed the idea of “intersectionality” in her groundbreaking 1989 essay “Demarginalizing the Intersection of Race and Sex: A Black Feminist Critique of Antidiscrimination Doctrine, Feminist Theory and Antiracist Politics.”
