In the case of Digital Harlem, some of those questions concern the character of the neighborhood&#8217;s nightlife and residences, and where individuals spent their time. The answers to those questions reveal that homes provided more privacy than reformers recognized, allowing residents to engage in a wide range of sexualities. At the same time, outside the home, black residents regularly encountered whites, whose presence throughout the neighborhood made interracial encounters and conflicts an everyday feature of life in the nation&#8217;s most famous &#8216;black metropolis.&#8217;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On April 1, I&#8217;ll be giving two talks on Digital Harlem at the University of Pennsylvania.
