TEDxHarlem Strivers’ Row
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. TEDxHarlem, where x = independently organized TED event, New York’s leading thinkers, doers, and speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a virtual space. Strivers’ Row may not have the same prestige as other Manhattan neighborhoods like Tribeca or the West Village, but for the African-American elite of the 1920s, living in this Harlem enclave was a powerful symbol of success. Officially designated as the St. Nicholas Historic District in 1967, these blocks of stately row homes continue to attract artists and professionals alike. TEDxHarlem highlights the power of Black originality and success in 2021 with our theme Strivers’ Row. “This independent TEDx event is operated under license from TED.”
