A long-anticipated project aimed at preserving and revitalizing Manhattan’s historic Black community is moving forward.
Sheila Ellis-Glasper, executive director of the Black Entrepreneurs of the Flint Hills, said the organization will break ground at 2 p.m. March 10 for construction of the Yuma Street Cultural Center at 930 Yuma St. — an area long recognized as the heart of Manhattan’s Black history.
Ellis-Glasper said the project represents a step toward honoring a community shaped by resilience during segregation.
