Al Sharpton s proposed National Action Network headquarters would include two 365-foot-tall towers rising above 145th Street near Lenox Avenue, according to new plans submitted to the city. (NYC Planning/SHoP Architects )
HARLEM, NY The Rev. Al Sharpton s civil rights group is plotting an enormous new headquarters in Harlem, complete with two 360-foot-tall towers and a museum, according to plans submitted to the city last week.
The new National Action Network headquarters would rise above the block between West 144th and 145th streets, bounded by Lenox Avenue and Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. Boulevard.
Patch reported in January that demolition permits had been filed for the one-story buildings on that block, including NAN s current headquarters and a row of small businesses.
Madison in the Sixties – the film the UW suppressed.
In the summer of 1960, local NAACP president Lloyd Barbee wanted to expose housing discrimination in the Madison rental market. So he proposed to the University of Wisconsin-Extension Bureau of Audio- Visual Instruction that instructor Stuart Hanisch produce a film to be called “To Find a Home.” Barbee and Hanisch explained to BAVI director Professor Fredrick A. White and Extension dean L. H. Adolfson that a group of Black and white actors posing as would- be renters would respond to apartment listings around Madison; Hanisch would use hidden microphones and a telephoto lens to capture any landlords telling the Black and white testers different stories about a unit’s availability. White and Adolfson approved the project, and in July 1961, the regents accepted $3,000 which Barbee raised towards the film’s $4,000 budget.
