"Weeksville Heritage Center tells such an important story in our city's history and preserves the legacy of Black talent and community that have been so integral to the fabric of New York across generations," said Cultural Affairs Commissioner Laurie Cumbo. "We're proud to invest in this important institution and get work started on this critical renovation project."
"DDC is proud to work again with the Weeksville Heritage Center to advance its educational legacy," said DDC Commissioner Thomas Foley, referring to the previous $38 million renovation of the center's Education and Arts Building in 2013.
"These houses embody the distinct history of freedom and self-determination that the founders of Weeksville used to build this community," explained Dr. Raymond Codrington, president and chief executive officer of Weeksville Heritage Center.
