Like all New York City neighborhoods, Harlem is a work in progress, changing population, architecture, and culture with each century. From the late 1800s to the late 1900s, Harlem was celebrated as the African American Mecca, the must visit sacred city of African-Americans and Black people from the rural areas of the deep south, immigrants from the Caribbean islands and South America, and most recently from Africa itself. Together they transformed Harlem into the cultural, economic, political, intellectual and spiritual capital of Africans, culminating in the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s. Today Harlem is again transitioning from a Black back to a White neighborhood. However, African Harlem remains a vibrant part of this exciting neighborhood. Join Dr. Ronald Brown in chronicling this transformation of this city within a city.
