This interview is part of the New York Preservation Archive’s Saving Preservation Stories: Diversity and the Outer Boroughs oral history project. The reader is asked to bear in mind that s/he is reading a verbatim transcript of the spoken word, rather than written prose. The views expressed in this oral history interview do not necessarily reflect the views of the New York Preservation Archive Project. Michael Henry Adams began his preservation career in Akron, Ohio, volunteering for Stan- Hywet Hall and advocating against the demolition of several historically significant buildings. He moved to Harlem in the 1980s and became involved in the efforts to save the Audubon Ballroom and the Renaissance Casino and Ballroom. He is a vocal advocate for preserving black history and culture and has written several books on the topic. In this interview, he speaks about Mount Neboh Baptist Church, Villa Lewaro, and Mount Morris Park Historic District specifically, and details the challenges of historic preservation in Harlem. He shares stories about several people he’s worked with including John L. Wilson and Carolyn Cassady Kent. Michael Henry Adams grew up in Akron, Ohio and is a historian and activist.
