Sugar Hill - Uptown Harlem

Back Home for the Refuel.

Great visiting my Family and Friends back at the old crib.. felt good to be back in the city and re feeling that essence of where I was born and raised. The passing stories that comes to your mind. That stoop those city steps, those corner stores. Intentional Urgency came to mind when I returned to my new place I call home.

The Cool World (1964)

No relation to the later Ralph Bakshi semi-animated feature of the same name, Cool World is set in the meanest sections of Harlem. Hampton Clayton plays Duke, a powerful street gang member who claims that he is motivated by the Black Muslim movement. His subsequent criminal activities are thus not merely for gain, but as a means to declare black supremacy over the white establishment. One of director Shirley Clarke's few mainstream projects, Cool World was the first commercial film venture to be shot on location in Harlem. The largely unknown castfeatures future luminaries (and husband and wife) Clarence Williams III and Gloria Foster. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
