Wayne A. Young contributes to
Port Of Harlem's"Publisher's Point" department.
Wayne A. Young was a disc jockey while studying business administration at Iowa State University. He completed his graduate degree in Marketing Communications at Roosevelt University in 1984.
Young started Port Of Harlem magazine in 1995 as a collectible item distributed at a Black memorabilia and collectible show. The first publication featured a collection of articles that he had written for publications ranging from the Washington Afro-American and Gary Post-Tribune newspapers to American Legacy and UpScale magazines.
He named the magazine after the world’s most famous Pan-African community to reflect the magazine’s inclusive, diverse and Pan-African. 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 change in reading habits, Port of Harlem returned to biannual publication in November 2009 and to annual publication in November 2011.
