“One Block in Harlem” by BBC Documentaries

Part One

For art history, the first part gives a history of the architecture and how Harlem received its name.  If you love descriptions of buildings, check this out.

Part Two

Harlem now.  Architecture still acts as a major fixture in Harlem’s change (or non-change according to some opinions found in the show).  It especially influences the class hierarchy as other demographics move in and add their style to the neighborhood.  It does surprise me that buildings from the 1920’s no longer exist.
