Harlem Voices© is a musical by Clovice A. Lewis, Jr., that is set in the 1920s. Harlem Voices© explores present-day issues of racism, LGBTQ issues, inept leadership, African-American military service in WWI, and racial profiling (among many other issues). It is about a brilliant young black vocalist who was traumatized by the Rosewood, FL massacre of her family members by the KKK. She is conflicted by falling in love with a white patron of the racially segregated club where she works in Harlem called the Black Jay Club.

Topics covered by Harlem Voices are:

• Historical and systemic Racism
• Social Justice and Human Rights
• The Art of Liberation
• Racial and Ethnic Identity
• Theology

Harlem Voices© is a response to the racial tensions in the United States. This piece feels immediate and important as a way to answer the resurgence of the KKK, white supremacy, and Nazi groups plaguing the United States.
