They could very easily be categorised as yet more buildings in New York.
Although the sites these images describe are laden with vital history.
Therefore I think it is important to note precisely what these images depict:
A makeshift church site on a tree in Harlem.
West 135 Street, in 1921 the first block of apartments to be owned purely by African Americans in New York.
The original Harlem YMCA, an important community center and support network for the civil rights movement built in 1933.
The brownstone that W.E.B Du Bois first started writing and publishing the journal for the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People)
The shop front that Marcus Garvey campaigned and ran the Universal Negro Improvement Association in 1916.
Strivers Row.
The Abyssinian Baptist Church, now the founders of the Abyssinian Development Corporation, who invest new housing developments, new public schools and shopping centers in Harlem. Also the activist church was one of the first organisations to mobilise support for HIV and AIDS victims in the community.
Brownstones opposite the church.
The back of Strivers Row.
Day thirteen - hallowed ground.
