Abstract: In this work, I will explain why whats occurred in West Harlem over the years is such a perilous indicator of what may be to come for the future of Harlem; why Bollingers claim that he will bring economic and other benefits to our neighbors was one of false pretenses, and emphasizing that even with activism, native Harlemites may find themselves being forced out, regardless of a stark resistance. I will frame my argument taking into account the forced nature of the development of Black Harlem, and leave it up to the reader as to why this situationone that is reflected in the perpetuation of a problematic history for people of color in this nationis so dire.
