"The history of Buffalo New York would not be the same had it not been for the contributions of blacks. Yet, it seems that the story of their history has been one of struggle against seemingly insurmountable odds. Blacks of today enjoy many comforts and hold many important public positions. The struggles of Black culture in New York has seen many triumphs, as will be highlighted in this paper. However, the stereotypical attitudes that whites have towards blacks still continues to be a negative influence on the position of Blacks in Buffalo today.
