HARLEM, NEW YORK, USA, May 7, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Harlem Connection celebrates Mothers and Mothers’ Day Weekend
with episode “The Harlem Connection to The Three Mothers”

The Harlem Connection is a weekly radio show where a trio of music lovers joins forces with the Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce to connect listeners to the artists and the sounds that helped establish Harlem as the cultural capital of Black and Hispanic America. The Harlem Connection features an eclectic array of artists from different eras and areas that are connected in one way: they’ve all performed in Harlem, U.S.A. The Harlem Connection episodes highlight Harlem connections to household names (Stevie Wonder, Ella Fitzgerald) and to Harlem locals who producers feel should be lauded. The show’s Conductors also give info on what’s happening Uptown and interview creators, newsmakers, entrepreneurs, and other “all-around cool folks.”

This week’s episode, “The Harlem Connection to The Three Mothers,” is in celebration of Mothers' Day Weekend. The Harlem Connection Conductors will be joined by Anna Malaika Tubbs and Bryn Clark, the writer and editor of the Flatiron Books’ The Three Mothers: How the Mothers of Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and James Baldwin Shaped a Nation. The Conductors will play some of the favorite songs of their mothers and the mothers of Tubbs and Clark. And DJ Big Daddy Neil will be a guest conductor for a portion of the program.

The Harlem Connection can be heard Friday nights from 10-Midnight at 10PM via New York City’s WBAI 99.5FM or WBAI.org/listen-live. Past episodes are available via WBAI.org/archive.
