SUMMARY:Black People and the Battle of Brooklyn Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Join Prospect Park Alliance to learn about the important and varied roles Black people played in the Revolutionary War’s Battle of Brooklyn in August 1776\, the first and largest battle of the American War for Independence. They served as soldiers and spies on both sides\, built American forts\, maintained the British ships\, and seized the conflict to better their lives. This pop-up exhibit in the yard of Lefferts Historic House explores this complex history by illustrating the different ways Black people related to the conflict\, but also their shared struggles and goals. Come learn how the Africans enslaved by the Lefferts family and their neighbors and counterparts navigated the American War for Independence\, including fighting at Battle Pass in what is now Prospect Park.
