On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we honor leadership rooted in justice, humanity, and collective care. At The Blake Annex, we believe community spaces should center people over profit, purpose over publicity, and service over status. This is the work. This is the way forward.

Join us this Friday December 5th at 4 PM to celebrate Catherine Blake’s legacy and learn more about her and her husband Adam Blake Jr. at the Blake Annex legacy Market. Adam Blake Jr. was one of Albany’s most successful Black entrepreneurs of the 1800s. Born in 1830 and later adopted by Adam Blake Sr. — a man formerly enslaved on the Van Rensselaer estate — Blake grew up with rare access to education and opportunity for his time.

He got his start in hospitality as a waiter at the Delavan House, eventually working his way up and opening multiple restaurants across the city. By 1865, he was leasing Congress Hall Hotel, and when it was torn down, he used the funds to build The Kenmore — a landmark that would define Albany’s cultural and social scene.

His legacy wasn’t just business — it was Black excellence, ambition, and possibility.
