{"value"=>"<p>From the Harlem Music Center records it is clear that Black was the main driving force behind the Music Center. He served as executive director from its inception until 1973, when he resigned (see memo dated April 11, 1973 Box 5, folder 6) as a result of lack of funding and apparent loss of interest on the part of the Board members. The Harlem Music Center files are incomplete, but what is available gives a fairly adequate picture of the operation. Among the files are correspondence, minutes, memoranda and financial records.</p>"}
