Our friend trombonist/composer Craig Harris is leading a weekly residency in Harlem every Thursday from 7-8:15pm. The concert performances are inside the beautiful historic Mount Morris Ascension church sanctuary. Community tickets are only $15, with an early evening set. It’s a really warm, intimate community vibe. Hope to see you. Discount tickets at the door. by @mmpcia

Last Sunday, MMPCIA had the distinct pleasure in joining Rev. Althelia Pond and the congregation of the historic Mt. Morris Ascension Presbyterian Church in a special 120th Anniversary Homecoming Sunday service. Our own Patrice Pates Eaton was a featured soloist. Senator Cordell Cleare presented a Proclamation. The Rev. Dr. Jerry L. Cannon delivered the morning’s sermon.

MMPCIA honors the leadership of Rev. Pond and the church’s long history of service to the Harlem community.
MMPCIA values the relationship we have and looks forward to many more years of collaboration to serve Harlem. 🤝🏾🙏🏾✨ taken in Mount Morris Park Historic District by @mmpcia

@defend.harlem Harlem is changing and the decisions being made today could shape who gets to remain here tomorrow.

This Thursday, September 3rd at 6PM, join @defend.harlem & @tbo.harlem & @comedyinharlem for an open community Town Hall on the One45 Project and what its development could mean for the future of the Malcolm X Boulevard corridor.

We’ll talk about the latest One45 updates, housing affordability, displacement, Harlem’s economic future, and how major demographic shifts could ultimately impact the community’s political power.

Join us at Comedy In Harlem @comedyinharlem (750A St. Nicholas Ave.) for a conversation about what the future of Harlem will look like and who that Harlem will be affordable for.

Come curious. Come with questions. Most importantly, come be part of the conversation.

For media inquiries please DM @defend.harlem
