I wrote about Once Upon a Time in Harlem's striking reflection of cultural debate that today's social media era has made nearly impossible to replicate. My latest for @Salon: salon.com/2026/10/19/what-on…

The lost art of Black cultural debate

"Once Upon a Time in Harlem" offers a powerful reminder of the value of thoughtful disagreement.

Rest in peace @_hyunkim_ You always kept it really real with me. I always looked forward to our fam dinners in NYC. You were like an older brother figure who was always ahead of it all (Madbury Club was the blueprint). Our group zoom calls kept me going during the worst of the pandemic. I’m sorry I never made it to Valencia. I’m sorry we lost touch. So many people loved you. I’ll miss you friend.
