Thomas H. Allen, deputy executive director of the New York's City Commission on Human Rights, interviews John Henrik Clarke, editor of _Harlem: A Community in Transition_ and associate editor of _Freedomways_ magazine. Dr. Clarke recounts the fascinating ethnic history of the neighborhood, areas of which were called at one point "Striver's Row," and hazards a fairly optimistic prognostic for the area's future.
