Flatbush residents fighting to preserve a former burial site for enslaved African people have several concerns, which they voiced in an open letter last week.
NYC Parks will determine what is built on Flatbush’s African Burial Ground, an upcoming park that will honor the memory of the enslaved Africans whose remains were found on the site.
For more than half a century, the Crown Heights, Canarsie, and Flatbush areas have been a cultural touchstone for Caribbeans in America. Locals want to keep it that way.
