The Masculinity Project: Harlem Greenthumb 10mins
Produced by Kay Shaw, Nonso Christian Ugbode, Tate Nova
For about ten years a group of retired black men have been meeting every other day on the corner of 131st Street and Madison Avenue in Harlem, bonding, growing a community garden and living an often ignored communal experience. As a developer moves on them and they lose their garden the question of their community surviving is one with no ready answer. How do communities like these survive in the face of a rapidly developing urban landscape? How can we make sure these stories of camaraderie and community make it into the mainstream?
