Black Bird Press News & Review: Marvin X at the San Francisco's Juneteeth 2016 in Fillmore

Black Bird Press News & Review: Marvin X at the San Francisco's Juneteeth 2016 in Fillmore



See Herb Boyd's article on the G word in Harlem. Marvin X's brief remarks at SF Juneteenth give a sense of gentrification out West. The West Oakland cultural district on 7th Street is no more. The Fillmore is no more and Harlem is fading rapidly as the Cultural Capital of Black America. Brother Muhammad at the Schomburg Library feels the essential monuments in Harlem will remain. Nothing of West Oakland remains nor does anything in the Fillmore.
