W.E.B. Du Bois 83rd Birthday Celebration

A recurring night threaded through the atlas. A party often outlives any single room, tracing it across addresses is one way the atlas connects eras.

Rooms it touched

1925–1986 · Harlem, Manhattan

February 23, 1951; party co-sponsored by Albert Einstein, Mary McLeod Bethune, and Paul Robeson, a landmark civic use of the space.
