The Gentrification in Harlem project was curated by members of the BNY Mellon Pre-Professional Development Program as a platform for understanding the transitions that have changed the face of Harlem over the course of 50 years. 

The project encompasses various topics that make up significant movements within the Harlem community. It is also a way for affected individuals within the community, as well as newcomers, to not only speak on gentrification, but to add to the educational history of Harlem. It is acknowledged that gentrification has both positive and negative aspects. This pop-up display and the research behind it is serves as a gateway to a discussion about Harlem's past, present and future.
