The Dwyer Cultural Center in Harlem was founded by Cliff Frazier, a long-time friend of the late Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis. Together, they developed groundbreaking programs to benefit people of color working in a myriad of disciplines within the arts." I was the Director of Operations at the Dwyer Cultural Center for over a decade. When I learned about Mr. Frazier's history with the legendary couple, I wanted to do something special for him. So in 2016, I came up with the idea to rename the corner of 123rd Street and Saint Nicholas Ave in Harlem after the iconic couple. In the same corner, the Dwyer Cultural Center is located. And after a long and tedious process, the application was approved in late 2018. And on April 20, 2019, Ossie and Ruby's family, Cliff Frazier, the Harlem Community, and I unveiled those street signs and celebrated.  As an infant, Ruby's parents moved to Harlem from Cleveland, Ohio. She graduated from highly competitive Hunter High School in 1939 and enrolled at Hunter College. In 1940 she got a part in a Harlem production of a new play, On Strivers Row, which she later called "one giant step" to becoming a person and a performer. The rest is well-documented history. In the 1970s, Ruby and Ossie were instrumental in the development of the Community Film Workshop Council (CFWC), Third World Cinema (TWC), and the Institute of New Cinema Artists (INCA), along with Cliff Frazier and many other notables like Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte. All parties involved had one goal, fair practices, etc., for people of color within the arts community. Moreover, many are still direct beneficiaries of their work. Also, both Ruby and Ossie had a long relationship with the Schomburg Center. Each was involved with Schomburg before they even met each other. Ruby performed at the American Negro Theatre, then located at the 135th Street Branch, now the Schomburg Center. As a young man, Ossie spent a great deal of time at the Schomburg studying, as book purchases were often a hardship. Today the Dee-Davis archives can be found at Schomburg for public viewing
