Made it his mission to educate the mainstream about African Americans
Gil Scott discovered Harlem in 1963. He was a reporter at the time with The Associated Press, working in the New York bureau. Born and raised in Brooklyn’s Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhood, he had never ventured to Harlem as a kid or even young adult. And here he was covering the area’s most exciting times: Riots, the black power movement, Malcolm X’s speeches and conferences.
