I Grew Up in Harlem, a Beautiful Place, and I Stayed Away From It, Honore.

It wasn't until college that i visited harlem, that i went to see theatre there. A friend of mine had written an opera that was performed there. Until that time, my parents had always warned me to stay away from harlem. And i have to tell you, honore, it was a beautiful place. I think every community builds its gettos."
