Harpo's Juke Joint:About
From Harpo's Juke Joint
Harpo’s Juke Joint is a free reference website that is being written collaboratively by the readers. Our goal is to become the largest, most reliable, and most up-to-date encyclopedia about everything related black actors, writers, producers and their past, present and future projects.
Harpo’s Juke Joint is a wiki, meaning that any fan may edit any article by clicking on the edit this page link that appears in every wiki article that is not designated as a protected page. This makes it very easy for any fan to share their knowledge and insight of any person or project and add to the collected information available.
The project was started in April 2006 by Jennifer Daniels. It was inspired by Wikipedia, a free, open source encyclopedia, and by the interest of many lovers of black films and television shows in a website that provides timely and useful reference information on these projects, as well as the people involved with them. There are 99 articles that are being worked on.
