During the month of February, we ran a campaign with LinkNYC to show New York City to celebrate some famous African-American history makers. Here’s a snippet of an Amsterdam News article on it.
“LinkNYC is collaborating with Silicon Harlem to celebrate the contributions of legendary African-Americans on Link kiosks across New York City during Black History Month.
