Brooklyn’s free Black community attracted people from all walks of life, who sought to grow their city in a radical antip-slavery vision. Prithi Kanakamedala, Professor of History at Bronx Community College will discuss her book Brooklynites: the Remarkable Story of the Free Black Communities that Shaped a Borough, which recovers the lives of the remarkable citizens and considers their lasting impact on NYC.
