When some 19th New Yorkers said "Harlem", they meant almost
all of Manhattan above 86th Street. Toward the end of the century,
however, a group of citizens in upper Manhattan want, perhaps, to 【S1】______
shape a closer and more precise sense of community designated a
section that they wished to have known as Harlem. The chosen area
was the Harlem which Blacks were moving in the first decades of the 【S2】______
new century as they left their old settlements on the middle and lower
blocks of the West Side.
As the community became predominantly Black, the very word
"Harlem" seemed to lose its old mean. At times it was easy to forget 【S3】______
that "Harlem" was originally the Dutch name "Harlem", the 【S4】______
community it described had been founded by people from Holland,
and that for most of its three centuries--it was first settled in the
sixteen hundreds--it had been preoccupied by White New Yorkers. 【S5】______
"Harlem" became synonymous to Black life and Black style in 【S6】______
Manhattan. Blacks living there used the word as though they had
coined it on themselves—not only to designate their area of residence 【S7】______
but to express their sense of the various qualities of its life and
atmosphere. As the years passed, "Harlem" asserted an even larger 【S8】______
meaning. In the words of Adam Clayton Powell, Sr., the pastor of the
Abyssinian Baptist Church, Harlem "became the symbol of liberty and
the Promised Land to Negroes everywhere".
By 1919, Harlem’s population had grown by several thousand. It
had received its share of wartime migration from the South, the
Caribbean, and parts of colonial Africa. Some of the new arrivals
merely lived in Harlem; it was New York they had come to, looking 【S9】______
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 what they 【S10】______
wished to be. [br] 【S8】
