The Manhattan African-Amerian History & Culture Guide, Museum of the City of New York

I have put a 'citation needed' to this reference (citation) in the article: "The Manhattan African-Amerian History & Culture Guide, Museum of the City of New York". I can't find the publication listed anywhere. Not even in the Library of Congress which lists over fifty publications for the Museum of the City of New York. Someone needs to find out if it existed and its date of publication. --- (Bob) Wikiklrsc (talk) 21:12, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

As a follow-up, the Museum of the City of New York wrote back to me verifying that the brochure of 22 pages was published by them but never copyrighted. So I have the information to complete the reference citation. --- (Bob) Wikiklrsc (talk) 17:16, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

You could add as a trivia, that the famous Rapper Big L was shot and killed in 139th harlem street 89.217.228.155 (talk) 20:03, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Uncertain punctuation in quote

I have removed this quote from the main text, as it seems to be suitable for blockquote formatting and yet its punctuation is ambiguous: "Between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, is 139th Street, known among Harlemites as "strivers' row." It is the most aristocratic street in Harlem. Stanford White designed the houses for a wealthy white clientele. Moneyed African-Americans now own and inhabit them. When one lives on "strivers' row" one has supposedly arrived. Harry Rills resides there, as do a number of the leading Babbitts and professional folk of Harlem." Wallace Thurman, Negro Life in New York’s Harlem, (Girard, KS: Haldeman-Julius Publications, 1928) If someone looks up the quote and figures out the proper punctuation, we might restore it to the article.

Just to be clear: I like the quote. But the way it's punctuated makes it unclear whether the whole thing is a quote from the cited book, or whether part of it is a paraphrase. If we can figure out the correct punctuation, I'm all for re-adding the quote. PRRfan (talk) 02:11, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

It's in quotation marks in its entirety. It's a quotation. Uucp (talk) 02:14, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Oops; you're right. But it's still poorly punctuated, just not in the way I thought. I've fixed it. PRRfan (talk) 02:22, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi, the block associations of 138th and 139th streets have created an official website for Strivers’ Row: www.striversrownyc.org
