Harlem appears to have upheld the features of vibrant streets and roaring entertainment life. Harlem is also still engorged in culture by the people that densely populated the area; African Americans. As one can view in the image several African Americans are mingling at the stoop of the brownstones on the far right. And there are “mom & pop” shops decorating the length of the street. The people are in fellowship with one another or minding their business like the man sitting down on the far left watching people pass him by.

If you walk down 125 street today and cross avenues from Lenox Ave. to Lexington Ave, these sights are not rare and extremely common. This image is extremely similar to the ambiance and image of Harlem today. The only thing that has changed is the density of people living in Harlem today and the demographic of Harlem as well. The rich culture exists there today. It is argued that the demographic of Harlem changed severely due to gentrification. Over the years has become a famous area that everyone wants to be a part of. Whether it is for the rich history or reclamation of the New Negro’s freed developed culture, it is a well-preserved area to be.
