Event Details
Join us for a powerful night centered on community, storytelling, and home. Gathering on the historic grounds of the nation’s second-largest free Black community before the Civil War, we will gather together to consider what it means to carry on the legacy of Black belonging in Brooklyn today, examining a rapidly growing issue: deed theft. Begin the night with a free tour of the Historic Hunterfly Road Houses to learn more about the inspiring history of Black homeownership and placemaking in Central Brooklyn. Then gather with us to hear from advocates and community members who are directly impacted by deed theft. Through their stories, learn more about the troubling rise of deed theft and about the tools we have as a community to fight it. Accompanying this event, Weeksville invites you to continue the conversation by sharing your own stories of deed theft with us.
