{"value"=>"<p>The East Harlem Project subseries deals in part with several articles Wilcox wrote, including his 1961 study, \"Releasing Human Potential,\" about school busing of children from East Harlem to the predominantly white neighborhood of Yorkville in Manhattan. There are also internal and public reports, as well as other documents on housing, youth, public schools, narcotic addiction, and the East Harlem Triangle, \"one of the most blighted and run-down areas in Harlem,\" that was marked for industrial zoning in 1961. Wilcox led a group of local activists and tenants to argue in front of the City Planning Commission against removing people from the area and for the preservation of public facilities such as schools.</p>"}
