"I
can't believe that a visionary network executive does not see the
positive, national impact of a program such as this..... A show like
‘The Harlem Angels’ can only be the springboard to more positive ideas
and programming for generations to come.” ---------------Jerold Franks ("Lost," "Fame," etc.), former President of the Casting Society of America, educator, philanthropist.
We are proud to announce that the NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION has made "The Harlem Angels" available on their official Website to their tens of thousands of teachers and one million students as an "English Language Arts Resource." (Click on the hyperlinks, above and/or to the left, to get to the NYC DOE/Harlem Angels page.)
They say: Written as a TV Pilot, "The Harlem Angels" may be
used in-class as an interactive exercise and as a jumping off point for
creative writing based on a student's own experiences (or what's in the news
that would fall into this area), and discussions on ethics and self-reliance.

PROJECT PHILOSOPHY
I would like to introduce you to THe harLEm aNgeLs which was inspired as a means of helping my bi-racial daughter overcome prejudice and negative peer pressure. IT WORKED!
The goal of THe harLEm aNgeLsis to put forth positive, intelligent and empowered multi-cultural role models in an early prime-time, cross-over, live action, half-hour (or one hour) dramedy TV show with music.A sort-of Hip-Hop Highway To Heaven meets an Urban Charmed &Quantum Leap. They are a trio of funny, funky, urban, aspirational apparations with a musical and educational bent who manage to salvage lives that would otherwise be lost, abandoned, or discarded.
THe harLEm aNgeLsis also designed to be a series of books, educational and learning materials, and more.
THe harLEm aNgeLswants to promote, in a fun way through the mediums of a scripted live-action television program, music (after all, THe harLEm aNgeLs is a singing group of Angelina, Angelika & Angelala), books, comic books, educational DVDs and cartoons, the notion that language is a way of "wiring the brain." The way you speak (and appear) will lead people to make assumptions about you, your intelligence and your integrity. This becomes self-fulfilling. You will act according to the higher expectations and you will, no doubt, excel.
Remember, you can change the world, one person at a time. All it takes is you and one other person.
