In these pages, I’ve collected countless firsthand stories from a wide range of stakeholders about the creative community that formed south of Houston Street as industry waned in New York City.

In February 1948 Second Christian Church celebrated its move into a 1910 church on West 29th Street and Kenwood Avenue. Second Christian would be one of the longest-lived Black congregations in Indianapolis, tracing its origins to 1866 when a mission church and then several houses of worship were located throughout the Black near-Westside.
