East Harlem is also called Spanish Harlem, because it is home to a very large Latino community. West Harlem, on the other hand, is primarily (and historically) a black neighborhood, although in recent years it has seen a big increase in its white population.
The neighborhoods do not have precise boundaries, so everybody has a different opinion as to exactly where Harlem begins and ends.

East Harlem, or Spanish Harlem, runs south to north from East 96th Street to East 145th Street, and west to east from Park Avenue to the East River. 125th Street, which is a two-laned street that runs west/east and east/west from the Hudson River to the East River and back, is considered the heart of Harlem.

What was the purpose of the Renaissance?
The term is also used more loosely to refer to the historic era, but since the changes of the Renaissance were not uniform across Europe, this is a general use of the term. As a cultural movement, it encompassed a resurgence of learning based on classical sources, the development of linear perspective in painting, and gradual but widespread educational reform. Traditionally, this intellectual transformation has resulted in the Renaissance being viewed as a bridge between the Middle Ages and the Modern era. Although the Renaissance saw revolutions in many intellectual pursuits, as well as social and political upheaval, it is perhaps best known for its artistic developments and the contributions of such polymaths as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, who inspired the term "Renaissance man".

It depends upon which Dorothy West is meant. Dorothy West [October 11, 1932-September 4, 1991], the first Grammy awardee for best female country vocal performance, died as the result of a car accident several days earlier. West's driver was going 30 mi/48 km over the posted speed limit. He lost control of the vehicle, which vaulted into the air. West had a ruptured spleen and lacerated liver. The first of four surgeries removed her spleen. But the succeeding three to stop her liver from bleeding were unsuccessful. In fact, West died, at 9:43 a.m., during the last such surgery. Dorothy West [June 2, 1907-August 16, 1998], the novelist of 'The Living Is Easy', may have died from complications of an age-related condition. For she was 91 years old at the time of her death. Indeed, her obituary in 'Newsweek' of August 31, 1998 indicated that the news services from Martha's Vineyard, where she lived, gave no cause of death. And no information is available as to the date or cause of death for Dorothy West [b. 1890s], the silent film actress of 1908-1916, and the film writer of 'The Golden Supper'. But it's possible that she's the Dorothy West to whom the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints [www.lds.org] gives the dates of April 13, 1891-February, 1982 at the Social Security death index portion of their Family History online database. If such is the case, she also may have died from complications of an age-related condition, at the age of 90-91 in Santa Monica, California.
