Deep into the 130s and 140s you'll see a number of white people, many affiliated with either Columbia or City Coege. The Columbia purchased from 125th Street to 133rd Street West Side of Broadway and 131 to 135th Street East Side of Broadway.

Central Harlem itself has increasing numbers of white people. Still a minority, but from zero percent to 15 percent is a huge increase. Even East Harlem up to 125th And above 125th Streset has a lot of new construction and the white population there is increasing, though of course they are still s minority. The Hunter College School of Social Work is in East Harlem and CUNY School of Public Health is in Central Harlem.

You're right. All along the park at City College/Saint Nicolas Park is pretty nice. That's 130's. I was there during the day and really liked that street. Bike lane too.

Displacement, particularly in Manhattan. African American communities were literally bulldozed to make room for Midtown and Central Park.

But not necessarily just northward. African Americans also moved out to Eastern and Southeastern Queens, and North Central and Northeast Brooklyn. Some moved out to Jersey or parts of LI, which is westward or eastward.

True, but so were many Irish and Italian ones.

Yep, blacks were bought out. Took the trinkets they were given and moved south. Bad financial decision. Good for those that own the properties now.

I'm not talking about Seneca Village, I'm talking about earlier, when Blacks were in what was called the Lower West Side, and Greenwich Village. I want to know what made them move northward from those places.
