It is a day of importance not just for Black Americans, but for all Americans. It is a day when the promise of freedom finally matched Black Americans' lived reality.
In honor of Juneteenth and the progress we have made... our administration wants to play its part in using the present to reckon with our past so we can build a better future.
To tell that history, we launched More Than a Brook: Brooklyn Abolitionist Heritage Walk, an interactive audio tour that explores Brooklyn's history as a critical neighborhood for the National Abolitionist Movement.
The 4.5-mile walkable path incorporates 19 stops highlighting the many landmark sites that capture the borough's rich abolitionist history.
