Fighting for Harlem Land Rights
This ornate 1892 stock certificate bears the name Harlem Associated Heirs Title Company. It includes a detailed map of New York's Harlem. Who are the Harlem Associated Heirs? And does this stock certificate give them a stake in Harlem real estate? This investigation takes HISTORY DETECTIVES host Gwen Wright to an often forgotten chapter of Harlem's history.
