One of the most dangerous types is the Blue-Green Algae that has been found in many area lakes as well as ponds in New York City. Blue-Green Algae is very dangerous to dogs because of their tendency to swim and drink the lake water while they are swimming. Officials also said that dogs should be kept on leashes and should not be allowed to swim or drink from ponds that are not specifically designated for that.
One couple that lost their dog due to Blue-Green Algae according to Spectrum News said that after swimming in the pond the dog developed symptoms of algae poisoning and died within 45 minutes. So the danger is very real to our pets.
The Harlem Cultural Festival Is a Vital Snapshot of Black History

In 1969, a glorious summer celebration of music and culture took place in New York. And, I am
not talking about Woodstock. The Harlem Cultural Festival enveloped New York City’s Mount Morris Park in Black Pride with a series of live music concerts spanning six weekends from June 29 through August 24. The lineup featured some of the most influential artists in music history including B.B. King, The Staple Singers, Nina Simone, Stevie Wonder, Sly & the Family Stone, Moms Mabley, and Gladys Knight & the Pips. The free festival’s total combined attendance boasted nearly 300,000 people; however, it has (unsurprisingly) not been heralded or iconized as similar fests of the era have. But the Harlem Cultural Festival’s significance is more than worthy of the recent acknowledgement it’s getting on a nationwide scale.
