Within a few blocks: 212 Cascadilla St. was the birthplace of "Roots" author Alex Haley and the childhood home of Tuskegee Airman Verdelle Louis Payne; the idea for Alpha Phi Alpha, the nation's first Black fraternity, was hatched at 421 N. Albany St.; and Nobel Prize-winner Toni Morrison, M.A. '55, lived upstairs at 513 N. Albany St. during the first year of her master's program at Cornell.
