Harlem around the late 1800s was a community full of white folk. Then during slavery most African Americans in the US have been living down South. Once they heard about an opportunity to come up North and actually be able to work to make a living. The next day most of them were on their way. This is a very diverse community full with many different types of cultures, and it keeps getting more diverse every single year. COVID has impacted this community in a horrible way since majority of people that live here struggle with income, so they couldn't really afford any way to keep them safe during the pandemic. Also the employment struggle was real around here.
