Last Friday, our students, elected representatives and leaders joined together in a rally to demand that @pfizerinc keep its commitment to our Brooklyn community. We marched; we listened to the beautiful music of our @bwcmiddle Drum Line and Orchestra, and we were inspired by the words of Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, Assembly Member Maritza Davila, and Evelyn Cruz, Representative for Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez. @pfizerinc, @beginwchildren we believe in giving everyone a seat at the table, everyone having a voice, and everyone working together towards positive change. Thank you @bkbpreynoso @assemblywomandavila @senatorjuliasalazar @rep_velazquez @riseboronyc @stnicksalliance @elpuentepresente for joining us in this fight! #PfizersBrokenPromises #PfizersForgottenLand
We are excited today to host hundreds of students from several campuses at Beginning with Children Charter School 2 Middle, Borough President Reynoso, Assembly Member Davila, and community leaders. For many of our students, it will be their first experience at a demonstration or community rally. We want our students to know they can be the change they want to see in the world. Join us at 11 Bartlett Street today at noon! #PfizersBrokenPromises #PfizersForgotttenLand

This week, our Black History Month learning opportunity is the Weeksville Heritage Center in Brooklyn. A historic site and cultural center dedicated to preserving the remnants of a thriving village established by Black New Yorkers after the state abolished slavery in 1827. Weeksville Heritage Center uses education, arts and a social justice lens to preserve, document and inspire engagement with the history of Weeksville, one of the largest free Black communities in pre-Civil War America, and the Historic Hunterfly Road Houses.
Check out their programming and follow them on Instagram @weeksvilleheritagecenter

Did you know that during the first half of the 19th century, what is now Central Park near West 85th Street, was home to Seneca Village—a community of predominantly African-Americans, many of whom owned property. You can take a walking tour of where Seneca Village was located before New York City used eminent domain to acquire the land in order to build Central Park. Learn more about the history of his community in the video and check it out for yourself!
