The Leslie A. Banks’ fan club and Hue-Man Bookstore are planning a fundraiser “to support one of our favorite authors who needs our help. And let me tell you, Harlem loves Leslie A. Banks. As we informed you last month [see this article], Leslie is fighting a serious battle with her health. The outpouring of love shows you the kind of person this amazing woman is.” The LA Banks Auction and Book Signing will be at Hue-Man’s Harlem location: 2319 Frederick Douglass Blvd (between 124th and 125th Streets), New York, NY 10027-3612.
