New York Voices: Harlem's Main Street
About This Episode
Harlem is the capital of black American culture and 125th Street is its Main Street, home to landmarks like the Apollo Theater and the former Theresa Hotel. But this historic corridor may be in for big changes: the City Council is considering a rezoning plan that would bring new office space, housing, and arts organizations to Harlem, while displacing many existing retail stores. Rafael Pi Roman looks at the fight over the rezoning plan, which has ignited strong emotions about the future of the entire neighborhood.
