Morning Brief: August 6
Harlem has an incredibly rich cultural heritage, and Harlem Week (more of a month) is a celebration of that culture. There's everything from performances at the famed Apollo Theater, to gospel showcases, and even includes a 5k run. It's also a great opportunity to check out some of the neighborhood's small businesses.
