Curtis Archer

MMPCIA welcomes Curtis Archer, President of the Harlem Community Development Corporation and a resident of the Mount Morris Park community as speaker at the April  Mount Morris Talks—Thursday, April 8, 6:30 to 8 PM.

Curtis LeRoy Archer, a native New Yorker, was born in the Bronx, attended Stuyvesant High School in Manhattan, and then went on to attended Mercy College, as a double major in Sociology and Criminal Justice. In 1983, Curtis attended Columbia University as a Ph.D. candidate in Political Science.

In 1989, Curtis began his career in community development, being hired by the New York City Office of Business Development. This agency later became known as the New York City Department of Business Services  under Mayor David Dinkins. Working for DBS gave Curtis a sense as to how the city operated and how communities were revitalized.  It also gave him a real taste for a career, which could be a uniquely satisfying public service, in the field of community and economic development.

Please join us for what is sure to be an interesting evening with neighbor Curtis Archer, Thursday, April 8, from 6:30 to 8 PM at the Harlem Branch of the New York Public Library, Community Room 3rd floor, 9 West 124th Street.
