        This is a historical, sociological documentation recording demographic and psychological insight of a rapidly changing community.
       
        112th Street is the dividing line. An island span of public housing sits on the north side of 112th Street. On the south side, new businesses, a recent boom of high rise condos ans an influx of a new population is rapidly transforming this neighborhood.
        Spanish Harlem has diversity of culture rich and intense. Easily understood, if you know the history of the area. First, it was Native American. With the influx of European immigrantsat the turn of the century, East Harlem was formed. After the World Wars, Puerto Rican and African Americans settled into the community and the European population declined. "El Barrio" came to be. A public housing boom initiated in the 1950's provided affordable housing for all. 
       Recently, Mexican, along with Asian and Middle Eastern arrivals, as well as the migration of the white population has changed 112th Street. What is threatened is the culture that has been a fixture of the community for decades. An unstoppable gentrification threatens the heart of this neighborhood.
