    As the community became predominantly Black, the【C7】______word "Harlem" seemed to lose its old meaning.

    By 1919, Harlem’s population had grown by several thousand. Some of the new arrivals merely lived in Harlem; it was New York【C19】______they had come to, looking for jobs and for all the other legendary opportunities of life in the city. To others who migrated to Harlem, New York was merely the city in which they found themselves: Harlem was exactly【C20】______they wished to be [br] 【C18】
