Man! I love these old school videos Hezakya! I was just a year old but it's interesting to see how society was back then.

It's amazing how crowded the streets are. 400,000 people in a few square miles..

So thankful of you,Reel Black and others for preserving so much Heritage!

Timeless.. Priceless. Thank you for posting

I went to Harlem from SoCal just to see Malcolm X Blvd.( Lenox) I soaked up all the atmosphere that I could in two weeks. I'm so glad it was before Gentry moved in. I'll never forget it💙❤️

I was 2 in 1963. And we were Harlemites. The baby boom was evident as you can see from all those families and kids everywhere. I tell my kids and grandchildren that Harlem is like a ghost town compared to today. No one wants children today. We were poor, but we had plenty of friends and good times. The police were not killing and being bullies back then. If yiu got in trouble, you were going to jail but won't end up dead.

Thank you for bringing the history of MY town to the masses. I noticed how you slipped in the segment of the Nation Of Islam from another of your masterpieces entitled "Black Muslims"...clever! Btw, I do appreciate and respect your work as I too am a Historian. I'm currently down right now due to the virus, but as soon as things change, I will drop some change on you. But until then PEACE Black Man, continue your incredible superior work and efforts

You notice how white reporters back then always say " Harlem is a unique neighborhood ",, that's because it was a beautiful, fun, never dull place !!! Words can't describe...

-Good seeing Harlem back then. For all of it's problems it still seemed a little calmer. Can you do a piece on the various Harlem streetgangs of the 50s & early 60s? There would be black, Puerto Rican, Italian & even some mixed streetgangs in Harlem. They'd hangout but stood together when any rival clubs invaded or did something to someone on the turf. Those fights were for retaliation & protection, & often got pretty raw. But not the senseless attacks of a crew getting a single person like today, unless they deserved it. Crimes existed but not to the crazy extent you see these days. Gangs & slums weren't glorified like movies & rap has made them. They were just parts of the neighborhoods, just the way it was.

HOLY COW did anybody notice KING KONG at the beginning of this video!!!!! I used to ride that once a week in the summertime 1966 !! 25cents in Bay Ridge Brooklyn but only 10 cents in Harlem!!!!

Very good doc - AGAIN!

Keep up the superb work & vocation!!

This reporter has a very negative tone about Harlem.

Langston Hughes....Black American history 🇺🇸💜🔥

Now to Rent in Harlem Studio / 1 Bed Apartments from $1500 a month.. Harlem gets its Name from A city in Netherlands ' Haarlem ' in the North West of the Country.. Means ' House on A Wooden Hill '..

It is amazing watching and hearing the voices of that generation of blacks saying they weren't going to take it anymore.

Still rings true today

Very illuminating deep dive. Throughout the video, interview subjects identified exploitive practices from outside owners, neglected schools, ineffective political leaders, an unwillingness by businesses to initiate a community relationship, and a feeling of being occupied by an overwhelmingly white police presence. I was very impressed at how they articulated their arguments. Yet in the narrator's concluding statement he went out of its way to say Harlem's issues were civic but not racial. He identified street corner extemists and fiery meeting houses as the source for giving Harlem resident's concerns a racial component. Exorbitant rents for squalid housing, sub par schools, and neglected city services are indeed civic issues, however these things were imposed on the community precisely because they were Black! It wasn't an either/or proposition between racial and civic as he wanted the audience to think. To me it was a cause and effect relationship where the cause is your Black race and the effect is an expectation for abysmal, crude and a bare bones civic apparatus.

I believe this is the first half of the special report 'Harlem: A Self-Portrait', with Bill Leonard, not Harry Reasoner and Originally aired on the CBS Television Network on August 18, 1959. Correspondents: Bill Leonard, Tom Costigan. It is the other half: "The Harlem Temper" by Harry Reasoner & it Originally aired on the CBS Television Network on December 11, 1963.

Hezakya doesn’t disappoint. 369 for life !

Langston Hughes himself what a treasure of a archive.

So it was cool to live in the project’s back then

Damn why they sound so different what happened to them ascents lol

The newscaster wanted to make sure to give a Harlem a shakey way of life!!! Smh!!!

Damn how did I miss this video? Within 5 years Harlem changed and in the 70's it was considered the heroin capital of America

The numbers got my family up outta Harlem.....My folks old neighborhood, we can't even afford now......My family still owns a browstone between 7th and 8th ave on 139th Street right in the shadow of City College. Nearly half of Strivers Row is white or non-black now...

I've been reading about Harlem extensively in the book "The Crisis of the Intellectual Negro." 1963 was an interesting year.

Strugged but happy

Great stuff Amigo! Keep up the outstanding curation of the truth to Power.

Kinda like walking in the Public Pretender's office you walk inside and don't see anyone looking anything close to me, oh shit!

it should have been titled: "Harlem, A Self Portrait." the time frame is the late 50's, car models, hairstyles, etc. I was there, lived in harlem at this time, i was 9 years old, lived in the projects.

Home of Dipset , Mase , Frank Lucas & Nicky Barnes !!! AZ , ALPO & Rich Porter

Even though you have black police officers doesn't mean that they would have your best interest at heart.

Harlem!!! ❤️🖤💚

2021 & there is a major recession & shake up coming. I'm not looking forward to it one bit. Younger generations should be shown this as to how lucky they are these days. With lap tops, mobiles, wifi & many other luxuries that were unheard of when I was growing up in England in the 70's. I was from a decent family, but wasn't spoilt. The comparisons between then and now are polar opposites.

The city where jayz twin grandfather was at

Do you have any film on Camden, New Jersey?

I would love to see old docs on bars in harlem

I live in Harlem 6yrs never had one problem and believe me shit was popping off daily 140w

People seemed better spoken then. Is it possible that they were better educated? White people almost certainly were, the education standards have fallen considerably, but were black Americans from the South who went to school in the 1940s better educated than black Americans today? I'd find that hard to believe.

Almost 30 years before I took a breath of AIR!!!

What happened to Lloyd's bbq?

Harlem was developed by the HARLEM OPERATORS. These men were : Mr. Belmonte, Mr. Hammerstein and Mr. Morgenthau Sr. Morgenthau was the father of the later Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau Jr. under the administration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. These three nose people supervised the development of Harlem into a slum/ghetto. Blacks who never lived in ghettos prior, didn't understand what now happened to them. A "Superintendent of Buildings" position was created within the Fire Department in 1860. The first Buildings Department was created in Manhattan in 1892. The Dept. Of Buildings of today makes building codes, zoning laws and the whole nine for the encamped black population. By making laws but won't follow laws them self's, these magic noses over generations developed an environment that deteriorated. As to have the possibility to move the responsibility towards the black population, the occupation of the media had to be a must. The book: An Empire Of Their Own by Neil Gabler shows who is behind Hollywood and eventually the entire media campaign, to form an image out of the black population that picks up the responsibility of having produced it's own environment. Like in the Indian reservations, the alcohol monopoly of the devils, showed its intention for to move alcohol to these ghettos for making them reservations. Nicotine found its way there too. As of today the movement of legal drugs like alcohol, nicotine, vape oils, pot, pharmaceuticals and liquor, have been distributed by the Jays monopoly on transportation (U.S.D.O.T.) and regulation meaning law. United States Department Of Transportation. This law making agency (regulatory agency) produces on an assembly line laws, for the transportation of commercial goods. These goodies we find now in Harlem. As of today in every bodega at every corner in Harlem, young and old are able to ruin them self...if it's with nicotine, vape, Marhiuana, beer, and pharmaceuticals (advil and children advil). And we have the wonderful by the J's owned Liquor stores providing addiction all year round. The Supermarkets and the Drug Chain Stores provide also large amounts of alcohol and massive pharmaceuticals. A extreme concentration of legal drugs that moves the population to an unusual thinking, as these substances reduce the capacity of the populations mental and physical faculties. Through mass media, the victims of this media campaign can't comprehend what happened. The media produces now slowly an image, that is to be believed by the black population. And this correlates with a war that we all know. To be precise, there is no possibility of this happening by accident. In 1964 the Vietnam war starts. According to Daniel Ellsberg (a nose man), who became famous during the war, through the Pentagon Papers, the incident that made the war with North Vietnam happen (Golf of Tonkin Incident) never happened. With this artificial war, the black population of all hoods, became slowly the "FALL GUY". President Johnson a Gonzo from his mothers and fathers side, appoints Richard Helms to be the new CIA director in 1966. Mr. Helms stays in this capacity until 1973. Mr. Helms belongs to the tribe. Helms supervises the airlift program from the drug fields called: THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE - an area comprising North Laos and Northern North Vietnam. The CIA created in 1951 through Harry S. Truman (also of the tribe) through merging the clandestine services with other agencies and for that producing the CIA. This agency now, produces a front called "AIR AMERICA". This front is there to camouflage the illegal drug shipments to the U.S. The shipments land on American airbases. On these bases MP/Military Police/Security are on stand down. The U.S. Army provides their distribution arm for Air America meaning Logistics/Transportation capacity. Trucks are on airbases loaded with contraband. The trucks move the drugs to Storage/Warehouses/Depots were the drugs are organized for further re-distribution. Head of the U.S. Army from 1964 to 1968 was General Westmoreland (Jay). From 1968 to 1972 Westmoreland was Chief of Staff of the Army. His Army successor in 1968 became General Creighton Abrams. He served in this capacity until 1972. General Abrams was a chosenite. That these criminals are all members of the tribe is of course an accident. Secretary of the U.S. Army was Stanley Resor, also an Alien. By moving the contraband from the airbases to the warehouses with Army trucks, Police was ordered to be on stand down for having undisturbed distribution on the Army's side. These drugs popped up in the black ghettoes in Harlem for example. Parallel starting in 1965 lasting until 1977 Hollywood produced on an assembly line the so called "BALXPLOITATION FILMS". We saw in these nose gang produced films the first criminal image emerging. The first homie image moved on heavy promoted into the 1970 where it was phased out and replaced with the "DISCO" fad (cocaine craze). The name of the fad changed but the image was being more and more streamlined towards acceptance. This wasn't there yet, as blacks in these days weren't corrupted enough to believe that something is wrong with them, as like of today, thanks to the media programming. Out of Disco there was created Rap & Breakdance. The Breaking was phased out, and slowly Gangster Rap moved in. The logistics operation had drugs now moving from any direction into the hoods. The image of blacks sank lower and lower. As we reached the mid 90's gangster rap was established in the minds of black folks as by other Americans...this image said: blacks are "DYSFUNCTIONAL". The drugs poured into the hoods. Destroying every black person that came in touch with them. The media provided a fashion called Hip-Hop, that made it cool to have youth destroy their own neighborhoods. The drug gangs became the end suppliers - supervised by the Fed. The media teaches us that this devilish result of the gov. drug trade and the War On Drugs thereof, is caused by bad education, broken families. Well, the reason for this all is that the chosenites had the possibility, to produce ghettoes and later on move legal and later on illegal drugs to the hoods. Television provided a front for that. This front is of today still being used.

Malcolm X :D our shining prince

He tried to show more bad points than positive. And there are many good things and great people live there...then and now.

My g

Bumpy Johnson and Malcolm X were the iconic figures of Harlem during this time..

Harlem looked fun back in the day even though it looked so poor, great video! Hey hun can you do a story on the zebra killers??

Harlem 🍗💪🏾

1960's Baseball Golden Age

An interesting video ....I was a baby then (in Long Island)..and the more things change the more they stay the same!! I noticed when the subject of the police came up the tone was kind of measured as if there was fear of retaliation! We later moved to Brooklyn and I would travel to Harlem later on in the early ''70's and from what I remember it didn't change much then either! Now Harlem is totally gentrified from what I can see from a distance (I later moved to Philly in ''73)....!! It SUCKS that systemic racism is what it was then and it is what it is NOW....(On some platforms I would be considered racist for saying it out loud)!!

Harlem was fun like this until gentrification took over
