Port of Harlem is a general
interest magazine that focuses on various topics ranging from history
to travel. Port of Harlem
presents articles from a global Black perspective and integrates news
and feature stories about Blacks from around the world into the
magazine’s departments, which include "Praising the Past," "Health,"
"the Other Side," "Entertainment" and more. As an inclusive,
diverse, pan-African magazine, we know that an appreciation for
diversity starts at home.
We publish Port of Harlem four times a year:
February, May, August, and November. We publish Snippets, our
e-mail newsletter, every other week.
The
print issue of Port of Harlem
is available at no cost at more than 175 locations in Metro Washington,
D.C. and Harlem, NY. It is also available in other selected
cities including Baltimore, MD; Gary, IN; and Jacksonville, FL USA and
Banjul, The Gambia.
Hearon-Young
Publishing Company began publishing the print issue in November 1995 as
a collectible that the company distributed at a Black memorabilia and
collectible show. The first publication featured a collection of
articles that publisher Wayne Young had written for other print media
ranging from the Washington
Afro-American and Gary
Post-Tribune newspapers to American
Legacy and Upscale
magazines. The company began producing Snippets on January 31, 2003.
It also hosts at least four special events that are open to the public
during the year.
Young
named the magazine after Harlem, the world’s most famous Pan-African
community, to reflect the magazine’s editorial perspective. After
publishing annually in black and white for the first four years and
biannually for the following four,
Port of Harlem is now a full-color, quarterly publication.
The company has grown from a one man operation to a staff of more than
25. The contributors live in several countries including the
United Kingdom, The Gambia, and the United States of America and are of
various ethnic backgrounds including Afro-European, Continental
African, African-American, Caribbean, and Afro-Latino.
