“A Great Day in Harlem,” the first public event of HARLEM WEEK 2013, attracted over 42,000 people to Ulysses S.
Grant National Memorial Park throughout the day. This year’s event was a salute to the 150th Anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. In the first segment, attendees enjoyed the Cultural Showcase which featured Harlem Arts Alliance member performers from selected local arts & culture organizations. The second segment was a Gospel Showcase featuring The ARC Gospel Choir, The St. Paul’s Baptist Church Choir and others. The very popular “Fashion Fusion” Showcase, which embraced our 2013 theme, “Living the Dream: Celebrating History,”
4
was the best yet, attracting regional and international models and designers. Following the fabulous fashion showcase, it was show time: “A Concert Under the Stars” featuring a special tribute to Motown legend Stevie Wonder’s famous “Songs in the
Key of Life.” Unfortunately Mother Nature had other plans and a torrential down pour forced the cancellation of the Stevie Wonder tribute. We rescheduled the tribute to take place on HARLEM DAY, Sunday, August 18th.

For the past few years, the Entertainers Basketball Classic has assumed the mantle of the Rucker Professional Basketball Tournament and taken its basketball legend and cultural reputation to new heights. The EBC global showcase has become the region’s most prestigious summer basketball tournament. Superstars of basketball who have recently played in the EBC include LeBron
James, Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony, Allen Iverson, and Amare Stoudemire to
name a small few. Greg Marius, CEO of the Entertainers League and his team, have done a tremendous job in maintaining Rucker Park as the nucleus of urban basketball.
