a dream effective

What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up / like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore–And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over–like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags / like a heavy load. Or does it explode?

-Langston Hughes

On Friday, April 3rd, FC Harlem will open its doors to the public for a photo exhibit and reception, celebrating the growth of the club, soccer’s place in uptown Manhattan, and the first of its kind (in NYC) soccer field, to be built in the borough. For the club’s director Irv Smalls and the few hundred kids that participate in the club, some dreams, all be they minuscule in the grand scheme of things, no longer need be deferred.

Photographer Rojelio Rodger Rodriguez was kind enough to give TIAS a preview of his exhibition. Prints will be available for sale at the event, with proceeds supporting FC Harlem.
