EAST HARLEM — This year’s Uptown Bounce block party is all about the past. 

Musicians who defined an era — like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and George Michael — will be celebrated through exhibitions, art and dance classes, as well as music spun by a number of DJs that will take over The Museum of the City of New York and El Museo del Barrio each Wednesday night starting July 19.

The community will have free access to all the events and both museums, which are located next
