This week’s edition of Harlem News pays tribute to a towering figure in our community, Lloyd Williams, with coverage of his final farewell celebration of life held on August 23rd at Salem United Methodist Church. The service drew a powerful gathering of voices, including Rev. Al Sharpton, Attorney General Letitia James, and Mayor Eric Adams, each honoring Williams’ enduring legacy of leadership, advocacy, and love for Harlem.
We also bring you a vibrant recap of HARLEM WEEK 2025, a dazzling showcase of culture, music, and unity that once again reminded us why Harlem remains the heartbeat of Black America. From street festivals to panel discussions, this year’s celebration was a testament to Harlem’s resilience and creativity.
In our Black History section, we reflect on the Transatlantic Slave Trade—500 years later. This sobering retrospective explores the lasting impact of one of history’s darkest chapters, while honoring the strength and survival of African descendants across the diaspora.
From remembrance to celebration to reflection, this week’s issue is a powerful tapestry of Harlem’s past, present, and future. Be sure to pick up your copy and stay connected to the soul of the community.
