2025 Honorees

This year, we are proud to recognize outstanding individuals and partners who embody ESRA’s values of perseverance, integrity, and commitment to community.

The Schomburg Center for Research in black culture

For 100 years, the Schomburg Center has been the world’s keeper of Black stories, knowledge, and culture. As ESRA marks its centennial, we honor the Schomburg for standing as Harlem’s memory, reminding us that history lives when it is preserved and shared.

Benta's Funeral Home

Bentis Funeral Home has walked alongside Harlem families for generations, offering care, dignity, and compassion in life’s most difficult moments. Their longevity reflects Harlem’s strength, and we honor their commitment to serving our community with heart.

The Harlem Alphas

As the Harlem Alphas prepare to celebrate 100 years, their legacy of leadership, scholarship, and service continues to shape our community. ESRA salutes their century of uplifting Harlem and inspiring the next generation of Black excellence.

The Greater Harlem Real Estate Board

Established in 1929, the Greater Harlem Real Estate Board has been central to shaping Harlem’s business and housing landscape. As a real estate family ourselves, we honor their role in building the framework that allowed Harlem to grow, thrive, and remain home for generations.
