  • Saving Preservation Stories: Diversity and the Outer Boroughs Oral History Project
    SAVING PRESERVATION STORIES: DIVERSITY AND THE OUTER BOROUGHS The Reminiscences of Michael Henry Adams © 2017, New York Preservation Archive Project PREFACE The following oral history is the result of a recorded interview with Michael Henry Adams conducted by Interviewer Liz Strong on June 29, 2017. 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. He attended the University of Akron and Columbia University’s graduated historic preservation program, and has written several books, including Harlem: Lost and Found.

  • The New York Panther 21 Trial: Fighting “Democratic Fascism”* Dhoruba Al-Mujahid Bin-Wahad Generation’S Murmur… in the Beginning We Were Strong, Young and Vibrant
    The New York Panther 21 Trial: Fighting “Democratic Fascism”* Dhoruba al-Mujahid Bin-Wahad Generation’s murmur… In the beginning we were strong, young and vibrant. But fl awed. Our limitations lay in our mortality and the frailty of bone and fl esh—but even our fl esh was cause for celebration. How could we succumb to the enemies of the Sun? The Sun that toned us dark brown and the hue of ancient Odum trees? At the start our minds were unfettered and our hearts full of song. The Blues was unborn though we knew both pain and suffering. Who from among us could imagine it? A middle passage through hell— the horrid moans of disemboweled souls or defi ant screams cut short by the roar of the sea as another spirit plunged beneath its churning waves? Surely it must have been that—The unimaginable. The unspeakable. The Unforgettable. The intolerable fashioned us—from black delta mud & sounding clay into the most endurable of human molds. We were swallowed in our millions like fragile spirits sucked into a Satanic vortex—To a haunting cacophony of backbreaking groans and snapping bullwhips—western empires arose. The lucrative Triangle of Cane Sugar n Rum—cotton n tobacco, slaves n gold from which the fortunes of empires and nations were amassed have become the sinews of modern commerce. We were truly children of the dark—blinded by the enlightenment of western civilization we groped for our lost originality. Children of the veil between life and death and the freedom of chains Some soul’s affi davit… When we arrived up-south to urban versions of cat-fi sh row, No matter how hard we tried, we couldn’t prove life “ain’t nuthin but a party”.

  • Who Ordered the Killing of Malcolm X?
    Who Ordered the Killing of Malcolm X? New Evidence May Implicate the New York Police Dept., the District Attorney, the FBI, and Even (Unthinkably) … By Jeremy Kuzmarov Region: USA Global Research, July 02, 2021 Theme: History, Intelligence, Law and CovertAction Magazine Justice All Global Research articles can be read in 51 languages by activating the “Translate Website” drop down menu on the top banner of our home page (Desktop version). Visit and follow us on Instagram at @crg_globalresearch. *** [This probe into Malcolm X’s killing is part of a new CAM series on the political assassinations of the 1960s. In January 2019, a group of 60 prominent U.S. citizens called upon Congress to reopen the investigations of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and Malcolm ,X which we support. The necessity of the investigation is underscored by recent events; notably the near-fascist takeover of the United States under Donald Trump andJanuary 2021 Capitol riot, which may very well have been instigated by agents provocateurs or served as a dress rehearsal for a full-blown coup attempt. The power of the political right today in the U.S. has resulted from historical factors that were shaped by political developments in the 1960s. The assassination of magnetic liberal leaders at the time—Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., Robert Kennedy and John F. Kennedy—left a leadership vacuum in the liberal movement that has yet to be refilled. The assassinations presented would-be progressives the message that if they challenged the imperatives of class rule in the U.S.
