A message from Rebecca Scott: Marcus Garvey Park / 
Attempting to Silence the Drums in Harlem 
 
Here's an update on this situation: Boro Comm. Castro had 
a second 
meeting with the Marcus Garvey Park drummers on Friday, 
July 13 at 5 
pm at Marcus Garvey Park, along with the Marcus Garvey Park 
Alliance. 
At this meeting, Comm. Castro and Mr. Green, a contact 
person for the 
drummers, along with other drummers, announced that they 
picked a site 
within the park to be designated a drumming site. Comm. 
Castro said 
that benches would be installed in the site (near the 
acropolis and 
the amphitheater) today, Saturday July 14. This is now an 
officially 
sanctioned area for drumming, like the drumming circle in 
Central 
Park. Drummers have the right to drum there on their 
regular day and 
time and can't be removed. If there is a program at the 
amphitheater, 
the drummers can also move location. Park Enforcement 
Patrol have 
been instructed to monitor the area only to protect the 
drummers, not 
to remove them. 
 
If you have more questions about this, from the drummers' 
perspective, I can give you a few contacts for the 
drummers. Feel 
free to email me for that contact information.

Previously stated by Johnnie Stevens: 
 
For immediate release 
Marcus Garvey Park Drummers, 
July 2 2007 
 
Sat June 30 two white police officers approached drummers 
at 5th Ave 
Marcus Garvey park, at about 7:30pm, stating that they 
received 
complaints about the drumming being to loud. 
 
Two spokespeople, a man and woman, from the drummers 
organization 
told the officers, "We have been drumming every week until 
nine p.m. 
for the last thirty years ", They asked the officers why 
were they 
coming now when it was only 7:30pm. The officers responded 
that the 
residents at 2005 5th Ave (across the street) had 
complained that the 
drumming was too loud. The drummers said "We will continue 
until 9 
pm". 
 
The policemen then called for reinforcement, when a car 
with a bar 
officer came , the drummers spokesperson continued along 
the lines of 
their right to drum, "it's our culture from Africa and 
the 
Caribbean" One women drummer said about the white 
residents. "They 
have forced Black people out of Harlem to move here, they 
knew that 
we drum here every week, if they don't want to hear the 
drumming they 
should move" 
 
Still another police car came, this time with lights, and 
about nine 
policemen. With the drummers, women, children and men 
around eighty 
people, the drummers resisted their position and continued 
to drum, 
while an assigned spokesperson talked to police offers. 
 
Across the street at Fifth Ave condo (124) the four white 
residents 
watched while the struggle continued. The drummers, dancers 
and crowd 
took out their cellphones and video cameras recording.  
After 25 
minutes the police backed down and the drummers drummed 
louder as a 
protest and message to the white residents that they will  
fight for 
their African culture. 
 
Please join us next Saturday July 7th to help support the 
Marcus 
Garvey Park drummers in their struggle against the ongoing 
police 
harassment.
