Jr 10:24-25 KJV 24 O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing. 25 Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.
My grandmother in 84 died in one of those arson fires. She was near 85yrs old, a 54yr resident , and grandma figure on the block. Last yr Feb , CB-11 approved a street renaming for her, to honor this immigrant woman(Italy) as nearly 170 E. Harlem residents of all backgrounds in a display of heart signed in support. More than a year later I’m still waiting for city council to finalize it as I watch more signs erected for others losses. Still waiting for a sense of justice and dignity in a “Josie” Santo way on the corner of E. 119st first ave.
Harlem was a great community until heroin was introduced with no resistance from the politicians and law enforcement after WW2. As far as the gentrification of the current Harlem goes, yes it looks much better than it did in the 70's and 80's but it came at the cost of displacing the long time residents. Again, put the blame on the elected officials who saw Harlem's decline ( terrible housing, low preforming schools, empty lots, lax city services, drugs and crime) and did little to nothing about it until the "Empowerment Zone" was created.
Lone Wolf Probably not all were vacant, just rundown and uninhabitable in many cases. But I can also see the city moving people out if they needed the lot for some other plan.
Leslie Scarver taking no accountability. ‘Heroin was introduced’... some might say the Harlem Renaissance was fuelled by it. Certainly the jazz pioneers took enough at the same time as creating a new art form.
@@bojack40 what does the jazz musicians have to do with heroin flooding the Black communities all over the United States after WW2? Some of the jazz musicians might have taken drugs but they didn't destroy whole families and communities. Stick to the topic and the REAL cause.
The problem is people who lived in Harlem did not see the Real estate potential in Harlem because Harlem was ran down , So the beauty in which they seen was cultural an that enriched the people in Harlem they found comfort in sharing the same pain...not knowing there will be a day that renting will not be enough to they thought it was a waste land to the masses..

The problem is exactly what my father, grandmother, and uncles have talked about all throughout the 80's and 90's; buy up those realestate that were being sold for a DOLLAR (with financial proof that one has enough to start repairs immediately). Because so many residents didn't think much would change, we let it slip by us.

@Joy Gee Gemini They probably got on the Ticonic that takes everybody around the broad channels and stuff. They had shops to reach as long as they had a car, and as long as there was no traffic jams that day either.
I grew up in east harlem during the 60's and 70's, & part of the 80's. There were different years where there was a predominance of one kind of drug infestation or another that contributed to the violent aspect of its culture. Ifyou read the book, Carlito's Way, there comes a point in which the author breaks down various geographical aspects of Harlem that are quite accurate for this the point in time I refer to. Crack was, however one of several marketed drugs that dominated in Harlem's history - the sadder part of its history. The history of Harlem is rich in many other ways though, as well. I am grateful for the lessons I learned there, and I still happen by there from time to time.
East Harlem was once Italian Harlem.. early 1900s then faded by the 60-70s.. But the author of that book ( Carlitos way) was very much influenced by seeing the italians while growing up in East Harlem. The demographics has changed much when Carlito spoke of it ( Latinos and blacks had taken over). It became very dangerous like many other neighborhoods in other boroughs...it is evolving though. If I'm not mistaken 4 of the 5 Italian crime families was rooted from Italian Harlem.

In the same manner as was done to too many Native American Tribes of course.
Moved from E 124st tenements in 54 before the projects were put there . As a kid we could walk to the lift bridge . Italien neighbors were across the st and when we moved we actually moved into the same community where they moved 80 miles East. I count my blessings we moved

Nah bro you got it wrong. If you didn't take your first steps, speak your first words, have your first fight, fall in love for the first time, in NYC you're not a real New Yorker. Look at how they're willing to shit on us now that things are looking bad. Out of towners, you'll never be New Yorkers in my book. Sorry.
I wonder what ATL saying about those New Yorkers down south frontin' like they were born and bread in GA. Not where you from, it's where you at, Word!!!
Today Harlem is too expensive old brownstones that was five or $7,000 all over a million dollars or more today it's for rich people they pushed out everyone else imagine in another 5 or 10 years they will take the train down to midtown or Wall Street where they have fantastic big paying jobs now they own a piece of famous New York City but their own townhouse unbelievable
Every picture that what you see right now it is all gone to half of it but half of it still still standing today and some of them are restored I got neighborhood home change and transform a better one
Awesome video but some of these pictures aren't accurate updates for instance the old picture of McDonald's was on 125th st Lexington avenue and the new McDonald's was on 117th st 3rd Ave.
I miss the army and navy store on Lexington just shy of 125th street. They had so many things there. And the coffee shop right on the south east corner of 125th. The best daily coffee and donuts for sure.

A change for the better. You ever go into folks home and you see this certain couch as a child in their home and now it’s 2019 and that same couch is still there and you saw it at 6 years old and now you’re 63. 😂 LMAO
The new Harlem looks much better in terms of being cleaned up & improved infrastructure, but higher ass rent has taken away the character Harlem was built on. There were Residents who called Harlem home 🏡 for years whom we're forced to move out, because they could no longer afford to live there. The only people I think who can afford to live in NYC is the Rich & Famous.
It does look better. However attitudes have not changed much and some buildings are being abandoned again. Take a look at East 125th Street east of Park Avenue and you will see what I’m talking about.
@@niware80 I just looked & notice what was talking, except it looks like those abandoned buildings must have been demolished. In its place is something else being built. From what I've seen a long there so far, it looks very commercial. Very clean.
@@joygeegemini9241 actually some businesses have been vacated because either the lease ended, COVID or like you said - new buildings may be in the process of being built. It does look better compared to the 1980a and early 1990s.

A change for the better. You ever go into folks home and you see this certain couch as a child in their home and now it’s 2019 and that same couch is still there and you saw it at 6 years old and now you’re 63. 😂 LMAO
The new Harlem looks much better in terms of being cleaned up & improved infrastructure, but higher ass rent has taken away the character Harlem was built on. There were Residents who called Harlem home 🏡 for years whom we're forced to move out, because they could no longer afford to live there. The only people I think who can afford to live in NYC is the Rich & Famous.
It does look better. However attitudes have not changed much and some buildings are being abandoned again. Take a look at East 125th Street east of Park Avenue and you will see what I’m talking about.
@@niware80 On Google Maps?
@@niware80 I just looked & notice what was talking, except it looks like those abandoned buildings must have been demolished. In its place is something else being built. From what I've seen a long there so far, it looks very commercial. Very clean.
@@joygeegemini9241 actually some businesses have been vacated because either the lease ended, COVID or like you said - new buildings may be in the process of being built. It does look better compared to the 1980a and early 1990s.
