EVENT: Meeting on Harlem's future
Gentrification, Displacement, and the Survival of the Black Historic Metropolis of Harlem: An analysis of Harlem’s “Second Renaissance”
Wednesday, August 16, 2006
6 to 8 PM
St. Ambrose Episcopal Church
9 West 130th Street
(Between Fifth and Lenox Avenues)
Hear an insightful discussion by a panel composed of an economist, political scientists, historic preservationist and a mental health clinician on market forces, public policy, cultural and political forces shaping a “new Harlem” that is enriching some while driving out others: the poor, the working class and Harlem’s middle class base.
How does the community fight back to hold on to its dignity and the right to survive as the Black Culture Capital of the World? Panelists to be announced. (All elected officials in Central Harlem are invited to this forum).
