For The Love Of Harlem is Back!! FOR THE LOVE OF HARLEM, book, lyrics & original songs by Jermaine Nakia Lee, is the musical sensation profiling the lives of some of the brightest artistic visionaries of the Harlem Renaissance from Langston Hughes to Alberta Hunter. Nestled in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City, this movement impacted the entire cultural spectrum; literature, drama, music, visual art, and dance. The Movement afforded unique ways to explore the historic struggles of Black America and the contemporary relevance of Black life in the urban North. FOR THE LOVE OF HARLEM celebrates the courage, achievements, frailty and hardships of these creative ones; whose artistic contributions have had profound impact not only on African-American culture but redefined how America, and the world, views the African-American. FOR THE LOVE OF HARLEM takes us on a musical journey that shadows these brave artists who refused to be inauthentic, no matter what the Black or White public thought.
