Few museums show the North's Civil Rights Movement. A new one in Harlem is ‘just getting started’

NEW YORK (AP) — The National Urban League will open a museum this weekend in Harlem dedicated to the civil rights struggles in the North, the first of its kind in New York City. Located in the Urban League’s Manhattan headquarters, the Urban Civil Rights Museum in Harlem explores the region's lesser-known histories of the Civil Rights Movement and the local changemakers and artists whose contributions helped shape politics and culture worldwide. With nearly 12,000 square feet (1,100 square meters) of permanent and rotating exhibits and galleries, organizers say they hope to remind visitors of their “collective power” in the present. “We want people to know that they are key participants,” Jennifer Scott, the museum’s founding executive director and chief curator, told The Associated Press during an exclusive preview of the space. “History is living, it’s unfinished, and we can impact it,” she said. Scott is a national public history scholar with experience preserving Black history in museums and research centers across the country. She led the design of a permanent interactive installation and an inaugural set of rotating exhibitions. Marc Morial, the Urban League’s president and CEO, underscored the importance of establishing the museum just blocks from such key

Perth Amboy nominated for federal Opportunity Zone designation

PERTH AMBOY – The city has been nominated for designation as a federal Opportunity Zone, a move officials say could attract private investment in local businesses, housing and neighborhood redevelopment. Gov. Mikie Sherrill submitted 130 New Jersey census tracts for federal designation, the maximum allowed under federal law. The recommendations were submitted to the U.S. Department of the Treasury and are not yet final. The Opportunity Zone program provides tax incentives to qualifying private investors who make long-term investments in designated low-income census tracts. Investments may support commercial properties, eligible businesses and housing developments. “Perth Amboy has tremendous potential, and this nomination gives us another opportunity to build on the investment and redevelopment already taking place across our city,” Mayor Helmin J. Caba said. The state selected the nominated tracts after a four-month outreach process involving counties and eligible municipalities. Officials considered community priorities, investment readiness, housing access, transit-oriented development and the risk of displacement. The city will wait for federal action before identifying which properties could qualify under a final designation.

Move over, New York! Miami steals title of America’s rudest city

Move over, New York. Miami has officially stolen your crown as America’s rudest city .
