概要
In Part 1, we uncovered how free Black New Yorkers built Seneca Village starting in 1825. Visionary founders like Andrew Williams, a 25-year-old shoeshiner who bought the first three lots, and Epiphany Davis, a store clerk who purchased twelve lots, laid the foundation. Together with the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church and other determined families, they created homes, three churches, a school, and a thriving community where Black men could even vote through property ownership.
Now in Part 2, we witness the heartbreaking fall. In 1857, the city of New York used eminent domain to seize the land for the creation of Central Park. Homes and churches were demolished, residents were displaced, and the entire Black village was literally buried beneath what is now Central Park.
For over 130 years, Seneca Village was erased from memory — another example of Black prosperity being deliberately destroyed.
This episode reveals why Seneca Village was targeted and how its story was finally brought back to light.
A powerful continuation of the Rise & Fall series on Forever Black History.
