Broad Street in North Philadelphia, is where music icons such as The Supremes, The Jackson 5, James Brown, Martha and the Vandellas, Stevie Wonder and many others performed. Built in 1929, the Uptown Theater became part of the national “chitlin’ circuit” in the 1960's providing a venue for African American R&B, jazz, rock, and gospel artists to perform.
The organization's mission is to stimulate the economy in blighted areas of Philadelphia through the creation of commercial enterprises, neighborhood revitalization and management of local moderate and low-income housing.
