Harlem is a town located north of New York; it’s where the children of The Lesson were raised. This town was poor and unsanitary with people who were not highly educated, ignorant and rude. In the text (pg.1) Bambara mentions “we hated her too, hated the way we did the winos who cluttered up the parks and pissed on our handball walls and stank up our hallways and stairs so you couldn’t hallway play hide-and-seek without a goddamn gas mask.” This explains just how dirty the environment was, and because they couldn’t do anything about it, you sense that they were too poor to get anything cleaned. Toni Bambara also clarifies this by saying “and she gets to the part about we all poor and live in the slums.” Slums are defined as a highly populated, run-down, unclean part of a city, occupied by poor people.
