Harlem historian and activist shares insights

Michael Henry Adams, a Harlem-based architectural and cultural historian, an activist for historic preservation, and tour guide takes us into the Harlem depicted in Jordan Casteel’s paintings. Following a tour of black Harlem inspired by the paintings, Adams describes the threat gentrification poses to black culture and agency by uprooting and displacing people of color from places like Harlem and Oakland.
