In 1958, Martin Luther King Jr. visited this building, once a department store called Blumstein’s, during a tour of Harlem. Inside, he was stabbed by an insane woman and had to be sent to Harlem Hospital for life-saving surgery. He went on to live ten more years, giving his famous "I Have a Dream" speech in 1963.
