The Harlem Plug
"To have once been a criminal is no disgrace. To remain a criminal is the disgrace." MALCOLM X In Harlem's tumultuous history, there are many tragedies. For those growing up in this part of New York City, a young man known simply as Fritz from West 112th Street became an urban legend in Harlem. In the 1970s, Richard "Fritz" Simmons is introduced to the drug trade, by an associate of the Lucchese crime family, one of the five families of La Cosa Nostra (the Mafia).

Amorella gives me questions to show who I am now that I am a heartansoulanmind and nothing more. I am who I am; Amorella is who she is and has been as my silent creative com...
Cincinnati's Over-The-Rhine
Discover how Over-the-Rhine's culture, politics and architecture have influenced Cincinnati's development for over 150 years. Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine captures a fascinating urban neighborhood in vintage photographs. Early German immigrants gave the neighborhood its moniker, after the bordering Miami-Erie canal, and also contributed to its beautiful architecture.

Over 200 images reveal Over-the-Rhine's urban characters, street life, and architectural landmarks, including Music Hall, Findlay Market and St. Mary's Church.
