Brownsville is also the site of one of the FIRST abortion clinics in the Unites States in 1916!

I wish the history of education in Brownsville/ Oceanhill was taught more. Many of our very grandparents were students that integrated schools in Canarsie. Some grandchildren have no idea what their families went through for our right to better education

My dad was born and raised in Brownsville as an Eastern European Jew. He’s now passed, and I didn’t know all of this history. I’m very happy you made this! Thank you!!

Brownsville also has one of the highest concentrations of community gardens because community members started to garden in some of those burned down lots.

A true anthropologist because that disclaimer was such a thoughtful land acknowledgment to the existing communities because of someone from South Jamaica you’ve seen it in your comment section. They’re so afraid of things getting discovered and then getting priced out so this was a lovely explanation on your part to grow with everyone and be an ally as you should girl. ✨🫶🏾⭐️⭐️

Thank you for taking the time out to make the disclaimer. We that live in Black predominantly neighborhoods, we often feel judged, neglected, and looked at in a derogatory way. But these neighborhoods are more than just places to live, they are communities, memories, and culture. The rest of the world felt we didn’t deserve anything, so we created it. So we tend to be very protective of that. Thank you for your respect and honoring this beautiful neighborhood and seeing its beauty.

This was a great video highlighting the beauty of a neighborhood that is so misunderstood. People don’t often realize neighborhoods in NYC were systemically created. Thank you for your insight ❤️
