The Changing Face Of Harlem

Harlem, New York, was once the centerpiece of African-American life and culture, dating back to the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s. It’s still iconic today, with sites like the famed Apollo Theater and Marcus Garvey Park. But today’s Harlem is known just as much for Bill Clinton’s offices on 125th Street and the Starbucks that dot the boulevard. Today, we focus on the debate about the changing neighborhood. Tony Cox talks with Harlem Realtor Willie Suggs; Harlem native Michael Meyers, executive director of the New York Civil Rights Coalition; and Howard Dodson, director of the Schomburg Center for Research of Black Culture, based in Harlem.
