Given that the emancipation, African American household reunions have long been a part of the neighborhood's cultures. After the abolishment of slavery and numerous servants released, households started placing ads in newspapers and browsing nearby farms and plantations looking for long-lost loved ones separated because of the slave trade. Family reunions ended up being an excellent way to reconnect with their enjoyed ones and trace their roots and family tree. As much as nowadays, multi-generational reunions and parties play an essential role in African American households and it ended up being a big sector of African American travel and tourist.

Coconut Grove
Today’s adventure brings us to the beautiful city of Miami in Florida. Although I did not have much time to explore, I did get to see a little bit of Coconut Grove which is considered to be a village within the city has great shopping and some wonderful restaurants. The streets are great to walk around and browse boutiques, walk by the bay or visit the park. It did not feel like I was in a city of 400,000 people!

Glowing water, my daughter
When I was four, Pa first took me to see the glow worms. You find them near standing water, he told me, and he held my shoulders as he led me through forest dense as butter at twilight. I could hear nothing but the sound of my feet sliding on pickleweed, and when we got to the lake he kept me awake by prodding me. I could tell that he didn’t do it in a nasty way.

Fall In Love With Everywhere
Mal wrinkled her nose as she inhaled, her senses assaulted by the stench of mildew. She stood in the bulbous cab of a hideous bright red campervan, one eyebrow raised as she glanced at the salesman, who she could only assume was having a laugh.

Harlem Silhouettes
Late in the evenings when the sun has crossed the Hudson River the streets of Harlem fill with magical silhouettes waiting on 135th Street to take a crosstown bus to complete their purpose. I was told when I arrived that one cannot leave Harlem without completing the journey. I soon understood or believed it to be my birthrights to understand that Harlem was not just a stop off the A-train at 125th Street but a piece of the universe where every story ever told was kept. Maya Angelou, James Baldwin, and Malcom X all agreed the journey needed completion if you were to come to Harlem. There were no exceptions, everyone had a story, everyone had a ticket, even Cousin June Bug from Delphi made the weary journey Up South with a song - for that reason he deservedly deserves a statue somewhere between 110th and 150th street.

Five Different Places to Visit in New York City
New York City is one of the most amazing places in the world! It's a city of twenty-four hour energy, entertainment and action. I lived there for five years, and still don't feel I've discovered all of its nooks and crannies. When talking to would-be tourists, the usual suspects are on their list--Times Square, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Central Park... they are all worthy places to go, but what about a few other lesser-known places to make you feel like a real New Yorker?
