Gil Noble - Public Wake at Abyssinian Baptist Church - Harlem, NY
It was a packed house for Gil Noble's public wake at Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem, NY on April 12, 2012. Everyone including family, friends, colleagues and fans turned out to celebrate Gil Noble, the longtime host and producer of his groundbreaking and famous weekly news show, Like It Is. Noble's show was truly Pan-African focusing on the black experience on a local, national and international level.
We at All Things Harlem salute Gil Noble and continue to be inspired and influenced by him.

R.I.P. Mr. Noble. You and your show have been part of the fabric of my life. Every Sunday at 12 noon my focus was on channel 7 watching and learning about my culture. I would record so many of your shows. You brought me so much knowledge that I am a better Black American today because of LIKE IT IS. You will be greatly missed. I am so glad and appreciative that I still have so many of those recordings of Like it is to watch again and again. R.I.P. to a Great Man and Legend.
I thank God for allowing Brother Gil Noble to share his gifts with us. My hurt and grief really have me at lost for words, as to what Gil Noble mean to me, our people and our history. Brother Gil provided us the missing pages of our history. Much love. I will miss you , it is now up to us to continue the journey this beautiful brother started. Let us continue to tell our story, each one, teach one. Make it real, keep it honest, pass it on. Like it is. Much Love Gil. God Bless.

A truly great man has passed from our sight. We can never thank him enough for what was brought to the African American consciousness. 43 years of Truth (1968-2011). Powerful!!
Thank you Mr. Gil Noble for telling it "LIKE IT IS!"

Still absolutely missed Igba E Tonu Gill Noble
This Church was established in 1808 by Ethiopian traders, as a result of racial segregation. When Ethiopian merchants were in New York they visited a church but they were told that they had to seat in the segregated section of the church,they refused because they did not understand segregation in the house of God and walked out from the church, several African Americans saw that and walked out with them and they got together and decided to established a church and named it Abyssinian Church
RIP Dear Brother Noble!
"Beautiful Service"...
