A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
Dr. Malcolm A. Punter
In the wake of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, most of us developed a greater appreciation for the every day people who contribute to our daily lives. At HCCI, we are no different. So, this year for Black History Month, we are celebrating the people in our immediate community, our seniors who made Harlem special, and the entrepreneurs who served the community during the toughest times!
Scroll down to meet Mr. Joseph K. Eady, Sr., who for 55 years has owned and operated Joe Eady's Fashion City. Check out artwork by our seniors.
Also join us for two great Black History Month events. On Tuesday, Dr. Malcolm A. Punter will moderate a discussion with actor and real estate developer Malik Yoba. The talk will follow a screening of his new docu-series, THE REAL ESTATE MIXTAPE: I BUILD NEW YORK.
On Wednesday, February 23rd, join us for BLACK TECH REVOLUTION, a virtual panel on Black artists, entrepreneurs and NFT Technology. Click here to RSVP.
Stay tuned all month long as we celebrate Black excellence with a spotlight on Black entrepreneurs and trailblazers. And remember...
