@urbanistariel: On the highest hill in Brooklyn, a statue has been waving at the Statue of Liberty for over a century. 🗽 Jhon Usmanov, Director of Operations at Green-Wood Cemetery, walked me up to Minerva, built by ink manufacturer Charles Higgins to face Lady Liberty across the harbor. When developers later tried to build high enough to block the view, the community won the air rights so nothing could rise between them. Which NYC monument deserves more love? #learnhistoryontiktok #historytok

My father is interred there. It’s such a beautiful place architecturally, historically and the nature aspect 🥰
