summary of the city of refuge by rudolph fisher
Rudolph Fisher Rudolph Fisher's story "City of Refuge" is centered around a Southern black man named King Solomon Gillis and his migration to Harlem, New York from North Carolina to escape lynching. Gillis is amazed by the opportunity and freedom he sees when he first arrives in Harlem. Gillis meets a man named Uggam who helps him settle into Harlem and gets him a “job”. Fisher presents the idea of a migrant’s adjustment to the city during “Negro Harlem” and the race relations along the way. The story concludes with Gillis being duped by Uggam into selling “medicine” (drugs) for him and gets ratted on, leading him to be arrested.[22]
