Harlem Six signifies the real history of a group of six young, black and Hispanic teenage men from the 1960's who were wrongly accused for heavy crimes that dominated 125th Street and Madison Avenue in Harlem, NY. The media gave Harlem Six the name it still uses today in memory of the six young men persecuted for crimes they never committed two of whom where murdered without evidence to support the charges.
Today, Harlem Six is comprised of four living members united as one in memory of their two deceased counterparts; a consistent reminder of what the spoils of dealing with negativity can do to the youth.
In all, Harlem Six represents the great effort of all of the world's youth today who continue to face racial profile injustices and stereotyping for their beliefs, religion, color and/or creed.
