Meet ‘Hallway Harry’ He Demands to Know Where Black Neighbor Lives
Meet Hallway Harry.
Hallway Harry has lived in his Upper East Side, New York apartment for 27 years. Bleacher Report producer, Chika Okafor, also lives in the building and has lived there for one year.
While Okafor was waiting on the first floor for his Lyft, Hallway Harry demanded to know where Okafor lived in the building. Okafor refused to tell him. Okafor’s friend filmed the entire interaction and posted on Facebook.
Hallway Harry insisted his questioning was not about race.
Okafor said it was his entitlement to know where he lived that is rooted in racism.
