When did the Italians move out of Harlem & the Spanish moved in? (Union: Hispanics, Dominicans)

[latikeriii]

Spanish Harlem is half-Mexican now.

The last remaining element of Italian Harlem was centered around Pleasant Avenue and East 114 Street. They were still there early in the 1970s, but the last ones have since died.

Ok listen, Puerto Ricans and Spanish are not the Same, Spanish people are Europeans that come from Spain, It's like saying somebody from America is English because he speaks the English language.

Anyway, to answer your question I believe this process started some time after WWII and was completed by the late 70's.

I am not sure but I Know my mother grew up there in the 1940's and in the mid 1950's her family moved to corona queens. (which back then was all Italian- Corona)

That is denying your heritage.
Puerto Ricans speak Spanish.

I thought it was around the 80's but the 70's sound right the Italians moved out, but I think most of them live in Jersey now.

Spanish Harlem seems to be changing I see Asians & whites moving in

Americans call them Spanish,

Substantial populations with Spanish ancestry, the result of Spanish colonialism and emigration, also exist in other parts of the world, most notably in Latin America. Hispanic American population groups

If you want to be Technical.

Spain is the country where Hispanicity has its origins.

Their nationality are hyphenated in this country. In their own country they would be descendants of Spaniard.

In Essence Spanish Harlem, Spanish language & descent.
