A LITTLE-KNOWN BLACK HISTORY NOTE:

Philip A. Payton Jr. (1876-1917)

The Father of Harlem

Philip A. Payton Jr. arrived in New York City in 1899 where he worked as a barber and later a janitor for a real estate office. After he opened his own office with a partner that ultimately failed, Payton and his wife moved to Harlem where he started advertising his services for guiding Black tenants from Midtown to new homes. He started the Afro-American Realty Company in 1904 to reestablish Harlem as a place for Black Americans who had faced housing discrimination. Payton is remembered as the “father of Harlem,” and by the time he died, 75 percent of the city’s black population had moved to Harlem, according to the New York Times.

A LITTLE KNOW BLACK HISTORY NOTE:

Zipporah Potter Atkins (1645–1705)

The First African American Property Owner in Colonial Boston
Zipporah Potter Atkins was born free in Boston, Massachusetts, to parents enslaved by a wealthy merchant. When the merchant drew up a will, he left money to Atkins’ parents and specified that if Atkins’ father were to die, the money should go to her. On the seventeenth anniversary of her father’s death, Atkins purchased a home and land, becoming the first known recorded African American woman to do so in Boston. When she sold the home in 1699, she wrote her initials on the deed of sale, indicating she had achieved a level of literacy, another remarkable feat in colonial days.
