LETTERS, Page 17Harlem on My Mind
I was delighted to read about New York City's "New Harlem"
(TRAVEL, April 24). Harlem seems to offer a myriad of
enchanting and tantalizing possibilities. In spite of its label
as a place of crime and poverty, Harlem is a real Aladdin's
lamp: rub the right spots, and you can summon its cultural and
historical treasures.
Rachel Potts Worsbrough, England
As a Harlem resident, I was intrigued by your mention of
tours of Harlem. I was disturbed, however, by the recommendation
to attend Sunday church services. I dislike being treated as a
curiosity when I am worshiping. Tourists in Harlem ought not to
treat the African-American religious experience as a source of
entertainment and amusement. Black churches should be accorded
the same degree of respect as any other.
