The Other Harmon

While Clifford B. Harmon earned recognition as a prominent aviator and real estate developer who created the suburban community of Harmon along the Hudson River, his brother William E. Harmon left a more culturally significant legacy.

William Elmer Harmon established the Harmon Foundation in 1922. Initially supporting diverse causes like playgrounds and nursing programs, the foundation became "one of the first major supporters of African American creativity" by 1925.
