Mount Morris Park Talks with Quincy Troupe and Margaret Quincy Troupe

The Mount Morris Park Community Improvement Association (MMPCIA) launches Mount Morris Park Talks, a new series of free monthly conversations between the community and leaders, news makers, artists, authors and thinkers who live in the Harlem area. This series is MMPCIA’s 21st century take on the cultural and intellectual salon tradition that flourished and inspired during the first Harlem Renaissance that gained world acclaim years ago.
