| Look at Harlem Block Discovers LDS Church Among Changes |
| Six years after it first looked at a
then-drug-infested block of 129th Street in Harlem, the New York Times has
come back with a new three-part series on the block and how it has changed.
The series, which started Monday and ends today, discovered residents
bettering their lives and coping with work instead of welfare under recent
laws. It also found developers entering Harlem and this block, renovating
buildings and in the process pushing out long-time poor residents and
bringing in more affluent White and Hispanic residents. And, it found a
Church of Jesus Christ (LDS Church) on the block, trying to integrate its
Harlem members with the mostly White and Hispanic members in the rest of the
New York New York Stake. |
