The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) awarded a $200,000 Project Grant under the Promotion of the Humanities Public Programs (CFDA 45.164) to While Were Still Here, a non-profit organization, for the "Harlem as an Incubator" series. This project will present the history of Harlem as an incubator of arts, culture, and activism for people of the African diaspora through lectures, public discussions, and readings. The programming aims to construct a more holistic cultural narrative of Harlem beyond the limited focus on the Harlem Renaissance, the drug epidemic of the 1980s, and current gentrification. The project will run from October 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026.
