You are one of the first recipients of our new Email Snippet Service. As we roll into our ninth year of publishing the print version of our inclusive, diverse, and Pan-African magazine - named after the world's most famous Pan-African community - we are celebrating the launching of our electronic version, www.portofharlem.net.

At the site, you can read the print version's cover story, travel story, and list of articles. You will also find new articles that we post every other week. The posted articles include current news and feature stories that mirror the subjects we cover in the print version. We will send you Email Snippets that link to the posted articles.

We have already signed you up for the free Email Snippet service and entered you into our drawing to become 1 of 15 lucky winners to receive a copy of one of the following exquisite coffee table books to sit along side your print version of Port of Harlem.
