Harlem Solar Chefs & Artists!

In 2013 Harlem Solar Chefs, we had two solar cooking demonstrations late September, and on October 2nd. Arline Lederman from Solar Cookers International came to the Carrie McCracken community garden in Harlem and gave a presentation. We bought one of the fold up cookers and the following Wednesday, we did a presentation on a rooftop in Harlem. We created a display using cardboard. We started the Harlem Solar Cooking Chefs and Artist. I am excited about solar cooking and we are studying, learning so that we can do a presentation on our next trip to Ghana. 
Our goal in using solar cooking is to demonstrate solar technology on a very basic level, that can be understood by children and adults in Africa and in Harlem. This is empowering.

JEROME JOHNSON - COMMUNITY SOLAR ENERGY DEMONSTRATION HOUSE

Update: Elder Jerome Johnson has passed away. We are taken aback with sadness. There was no support for his plight in continuing to do community work. He was very angry going thru the ageing process, and his dream of building community was deferred, and ignored. It is so sad how so many elders are treated. Especially, elders like Mr. Johnson who gave so much. His wish was to have the solar house made into a museum.  Jerome Johnson! J erome Johnson is 86 years of age. He exemplifies our society’s disregard towards our ageing population. How our ageing population is treated and ignored. As throwaway items in society. Where elder citizens are told you are old and youth is new). They are not appreciated, and their life long work is disrespected and in many cases seen as irrelevant.    Mr. Johnson is a People’s pioneer in how-to create and invent for the everyday citizen and community. He developed the solar cooker in the 70s, and created a demonstrati...

Paul Tillman Smith Big Belly Blues Band

Paul Tillman Smith Big Belly Blues Band THE ORIGINAL BIG BELLY BLUES BAND AND CD The Big Belly Blues Band originated from a blues song co-written by songwriter/drummer Paul Tillman Smith and Jazz Diva Faye Carol called the "Big Belly Blues" in Oakland, Ca., 2002.

A retired bay area teacher, bassist and trombonist Harley White was brought in to pen horn arrangements along with band trumpeter director Kahlil Shaheed of the Oaktown Youth Jazz Workshops. The album featu...
