1. *Land of the Blacks: Presentation by Kamau Ware, Founder & Historian Black Gotham Experience
By the 1640s, the “Land of the Blacks” encompassed over 130 acres of Manhattan in the neighborhoods now known as Chinatown, Little Italy, SoHo, NoHo, and Greenwich Village. Twenty-eight parcels were owned by free Black men and women and passed down through generations. This strong Black community petitioned for their rights, married, and baptized their children through the creation of New York City. Join us for a journey through this buried, forgotten and ignored history.
