African American Day Parade 2008

September 21, 2008

African American Day Parade 2007

The African-American Parade is a huge, colourful and noisy affair. Crowds pack out the wide boulevards of Harlem, one of New York's busiest African-American areas, as floats move along the streets pumping out a variety of music from soca to reggae, ragga and soul.
The route follows 111th Street and Adam Clayton Powell Boulevard, proceeding to 142nd Street, then right to Fifth Avenue. With dazzling costumes, funky grooves and great dancers, this is an amazing street party.

Grand Marshals

Governor David Paterson, David Dinkins, Rev. Al Sharpton, Dr. Adelaide Sanford, Congressman Charles Rangel, Comptroller William Thompson, Lillian Roberts

Tribute in Light

The ethereal Tribute in Light memorial was designed to help lessen the aching loss felt across the country since 9/11. It is a profound symbol of strength, hope and resiliency.

The New Yankee Stadium

New Yankee Stadium is the working title for a new stadium for the New York Yankees, currently under construction. It will open in 2009, replacing the third-oldest stadium in the Major Leagues.

The Bronx

In popular culture 'The Bronx' has often symbolized violence, decay, and urban ruin. In fact, there are guidebooks that say you must never go to the Bronx! Sheer ignorance, that is all we have to say!
