Non-resident members are interested in helping to preserve the grand history of these important sites. \nWhen we began\, in 2015\, our work was\, chiefly\, focused on 409 and 555 Edgecombe Avenue\, but\, over time\, due to the input of our neighbors\, we broadened the scope to include Harlem\, in general. And in including more of Harlem\, we seek to expand the panorama of its historical narrative\, because the lens continues to be tightly focused on the Renaissance of the 1920s; the ravages of 1960s/70s-era drug addiction and dealing (and later\, the crack epidemic); the crime and poverty; and now gentrification—but Harlem\, in reality\, is so much more than all of these things. \nVisit: www.whilewearestillhere.org \nAfrican Voices Communications\, Inc. is a nonprofit arts organization devoted to presenting art\, literature\, and films by artists of color. African Voices publishes a literary magazine and presents literary readings\, art exhibitions\, and artistic workshops throughout NYC.

In an era of political unrest and economic insecurity\, Americans question American cultural and socio-political identity.

If you want change in your community\, you have to have a stake in the game.
