With Love From Harlem could not have come out at a better time with everything going on in our current climate. It is truly a heartfelt, emotional and brilliant story about resilience and determination during the post war Jim Crow era.

๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐น๐ฒ๐บ, ๐ญ๐ต๐ฐ๐ฏ. At just twenty-three, Hazel Scott is a woman on fire. A jazz prodigy, a glamorous film star, and a fierce advocate for civil rights, sheโs breaking barriers and refusing to play by the rules. Then Adam Clayton Powell Jr. walks into her life. Harlemโs most electrifying preacher-turned-politician, Adam is as bold and unyielding as Hazelโcharismatic, powerfulโฆand married.
This kicks off a decades-long relationship that propels them into the center of a political and cultural revolution. As Hazelโs star rises, Adam takes the national stage in Congress and the couple becomes the toast of the country. But when their affair turns into a marriage, behind the glamorous faรงade is a battlefield of ego, ambition, and sacrifice. Forced to choose between her music and her family, Hazel must decide what sheโs willing to loseโand what she refuses to give up.
Set against the pulsing backdrop of twentieth-century Harlem and featuring icons like Billie Holiday, Langston Hughes, and James Baldwin, With Love from Harlem is a sweeping, emotionally charged romantic drama, rich with historical detail. ReShonda Tate delivers a powerful portrait of love, art, and the price of being unforgettable.
