125th Street, 1943

Harlem's famous thoroughfare: The hub of Harlem's business and cultural activity, 125th St. in the 1940s was the site of the legendary Apollo Theatre, the Harlem Opera House, and other thriving businesses. It was touted in one magazine as the future's "center of fashion, culture and intelligence." Part One of I Remember Harlem charts the district's development; see schedule for times.
