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 twice a year: May and November. We publish Snippets, our e-mail newsletter, every other week.

The print issue of Port of Harlem is available for no cost at more than 175 locations in Metro Washington, D.C.; Harlem, NY; 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 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 became a full-color quarterly publication in November 2003. To meet the challenges caused by changing reading habits, Port of Harlem returned to being a biannual publication in November 2009.

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.
