ByGloriaC.jpg (505 × 444 pixel, file size: 121 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg) A personified Harlem should be like a friend whom one always receives the most profound benefit, a mirror of the soul, a spotlight of purpose and a catalyst for self motivated excellence. Such a golden basket can only come from the kitchen of creativity, of art, and of love. The Harlem of the 60s was a fallen artist, emaciated and disillusioned. His Pygmalion facelift in the decades that followed masked the beauty that once defined the community, but then, what once was, is no more, and thus the concealment was not of a substantially ancient photograph but of a prostrate defacement that only brought antipathy, suffering, and wounded nostalgia to those Uptown streets. If Davi Santos were a Harlemite, he would belong to the city's Renaissance. He advocates that "life imitates art," that a life without art is no different than a life without living.
