Crystal Cranmore has the story.A lasting reminder of discrimination against Black New Yorkers is represented by a building that has been empty for years and fallen into disrepair -- but that could soon change for the better.

"There were a lot of sort of heavyweights of the time, who either attended this school or taught at the school," Washington said."She was an active suffragist. She married one of the most famous African American ministers orators, statesmen, Henry Highland Garnett," he said."She became the first Black teacher to be assigned to an integrated school in the public school system," Washington said.
