With over 320 members, there's almost no aspect of NYC history that one of our members does not have covered in their tours. Asad Dandia's "Malcolm X’s Harlem: Witnessing the Autobiography" tour was covered today by the New York Daily News. Here is the article:
CARIBBEAT: Life of Malcolm X is explored in Harlem walking tour
The article notes "The tour concept developed easily for Dandia, realizing that in the 1965 as-told-to autobiography (written with author Alex Haley) Malcolm was 'very specific and vivid in the way he describes the streets of Harlem, and the streets of New York' — speaking of Harlem YMCA on the W. 135th St. where he stayed as young adult, the then-popular Small’s Paradise nightclub where he worked, and the site of the Nation of Islam’s old Mosque No. 7 where he later became the head minister."
Congrats to Asad on the success of this tour. If you're a GANYC member receiving press for your work, let us share your success!
