Do you guys read books before you make your posts? 5,300 families were displaced for the Lincoln Square renewal. 75% were white. 18% were Puerto Rican. Less than 5% were Black. The Black community of San Juan Hill started moving up to Harlem after WWI, 40+ years before Lincoln Center. Blocks that were largely Black were cleared in the 1940s to make the Amsterdam Houses. And when the term "slum" is used for these areas, it has to do with the people living there, but rather with the housing stock---specifically, the presence of Old Law Tenements. The city cleared many, many areas between 1930s-1950s on that basis. My family was displaced for the Lincoln Center project.

It should be noted that by the time it was demolished, it was no longer a black dominant neighborhood, as most African-American tenants migrated to Harlem following wwII. It was basically low-income white-ethnics (poles, Italians, greeks), newly migrated Puerto-Ricans, and some African-Americans.

The San Juan Hill neighborhood was predominantly African-American from around 1890s-1945. The Buffalo Soldiers were some of the men who settled here. Then after WWII Puerto Ricans started coming in. The Puerto Rican history of this neighborhood is short-lived with only about 10 years of the population growing here before they were displaced.

@@theblackaborigine that’s just a stupid thing to say … not backed up by any facts just a stereotype by haters… you not actually knowing your parents is true by facts
Although many neighborhoods were destroyed by gentrification, it did give new creations to architecture. And I don't think that's a bad thing.
I'm glad the slum was replaced. Thank you, Mr. Moses!
Extremely hateful comment 👍🏾 well done & keep up your good work.
😅
This is why the Earth is purging you.
For real one less ghetto full of heathens
@@jimpetterson7422 yes, I do hate people that make the city worse for everyone
who cares
Made room for more rich people to have more stuff to do, cause there's not much in NYC
Your videos are becoming very minority centric for a country that is predominantly white.
@socranveritas5358
these are the times that we live in. And those that identify themselves as part of the “black community” deserve their time for their process to reconcile the past with the present and the future. I personally would never deny any group that and I find it quite admirable that even though some might assess it as a little “late in the game”, there’s actually no such things.. My G-d,, these people never had a chance to speak out as freely as they do now and , whether you like this country or not, God bless (ed) America for being the place that we can speak!!! Can I have a WITNESS?
😡😡😡😡
Those were photos of Buffalo Soldiers not Puerto Ricans. Cubans and Puerto Ricans lived in east Harlem, lower east side and the southern Bronx. Puerto Ricans we’re never predominantly black. Stop black washing Puerto Rican heritage
The San Juan Hill neighborhood was predominantly African-American from around 1890s-1945. The Buffalo Soldiers were some of the men who settled here. Then after WWII Puerto Ricans started coming in. The Puerto Rican history of this neighborhood is short-lived with only about 10 years of the population growing here before they were displaced.
