  • my family has been living in east harlem since 1926

  • very dark

  • Excellent job. I grew up in east Harlem...99th and Park.

  • @jgnena Are you from Carver?????

  • Well done.

  • Good Job kids! I was born and raised in El Barrio and its seen its highs and lows. The people in the neighborhood haven't been giving the best chances to succeed and have suffered from a corrupt police dept for decades. The last 10 years its been steadily improving tho. The worst thing about the gentri. is big businesses are getting the money that the ppl of the community should be getting to develop their own businesses and jobs. Another + is the Barrio will have Hunter College on 3rd ave!

  • new york citty the birth place of everything

  • wow fuck that their kicking all the people out of their homes, that's bullshit man.

  • Young Men and Women.... nice job! We really like your video. Well spoken and nice video. A beautiful video on East Harlem. Please consider that people moving to Harlem may not be moving into your neighborhood by social choice. Those families may have been displaced from their own neighborhoods by rising economic costs and therefore are trying to find more affordable housing for their families. It is not their intention to displace families in your neighborhood. It's just economics!

  • does anybody know how to contact nelson Erazo thats in this video

  • Class of 2010 ^^^

  • are there any white people in the u.s.

  • @joeswan59 ?? what are you trying to say?

  • Good job kids!

  • very good video! born in raised in wagner! it has always been rough there. but beautiful at the same time!...i get my strength from this place called home!

  • No one can stop CHANGE, change is coming. People need to learn to adapt and prosper, if not, they will be obsolete. The truth hurts, but is REAL. Generations try and should strive to DO BETTER than their predecessors those that DON'T. Will not survive the future. This is no longer a racial issue its a class issue. Those that take "classes" post high school WILL fare better. 

  • this is my home lived herefor 18 years and love it.now in the U.S army cant wait to come back home. wager pj hoalla..

  • i hear there are still gang problems b/w mexican gangs and black bloods gangs. doesn't this mean that the neighborhood needs more gentrification to get these gangs out? no other methods have worked

  • wow i never thought to look here i'm in it

  • word to the Harlem community, dont let these yuppies ruin your neighborhoods! they want you out even though they want in.

  • I want to congratulate the START PREP for putting out this video it certainly hit home. I lived in El Barrio for over 20 years and I still called it home

  • Home sweet home. I grew up on 134st between Broadway and Amsterdam. I miss it still.

  • thatsmy old school..and my blockk..represent 45..

    in east harlem has lots of gentification now..

  • man i hate how they trying to change the area, they will always try to keep us latinoes and blacks at the bottom istead of helping us , thats y we need to fight , instead of helping the lower class they just pushing them out

  • Wow thats my old JHS...John S Roberts!

  • Yup  went there too in the 70's 120 st 1st ave

  • Wow! What year did you graduate? I was there from 1972 to 1974!

  • thats cool I was there 1977 - 1978 I miss it we use to play sponge ball across the street in PS 80 everyday god I miss those days. lol

  • Yeah those were the days!!! Remember Sloans supermarket on first ave?? I hear that its been gone!!!! In 1976 we moved to Staten Island (Parkhill apts) I thought NOTHING could be worse than Wagner!! We were worng! Parkhill apts made Wagner projects look like Beverly HIlls!! LOL! Back in the 60's and 70's looking back Wagner either wasn't THAT bad or we were just use to it!
