Apollo Theater Plans Harlem 'Walk of Fame'

Harlem residents who can remember the days when artists from James Brown to the Jackson 5 performed at the Apollo Theater might be able to take a literal walk down memory lane.
The Apollo Theater Foundation, Inc.—located on 125th Street between Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. Boulevard and Frederick Douglass Boulevard—submitted a proposal to Community Board 10 in January to create a Walk of Fame on 125th Street as part of the theater’s 75th anniversary this year. The walk would include names of famous performers who graced the Apollo stage for people to reminisce over as they walk, according to Curtis Still, chair of the transportation committee for CB10.
