Blacks moving to the democrats was not gradual, it was instant.
Before 1936 blacks voted republican, after 1932, blacks voted democrat.

The number of blacks voting anything at all changed abruptly AFTER 1964.
The percentage is hardly the story ~ by 1990 black voters had actually become about 40% of the Democrat vote overall, and in areas controlled by Democrats black voters controlled the party (through back politicians).
Blacks are today THE DEMOCRAT PARTY itself.

So it’s no coincidence that Harlem peaked at about that time as one of the nicest and safest neighborhoods in the world.

The 1896 GOP presidential convention refused to seat black delegates. That sad betrayal freed blacks to seek a different alignment.
