Before the construction of Central Park in 1858, the area that is now Central Park in the West 80s was the location of #SenecaVillage. This African-American enclave existed from 1825 to 1857, providing its residents an escape from unhealthy conditions and pervasive racism experienced in downtown Manhattan, as well as an opportunity to build a new community. This #BlackHistoryMonth, learn from #CentralParkConservancy staff member John about how natural features such as rocks, water, hills, and plants—many of which still exist in the Park today—can help us to imagine its residents’ lives as well as understand its history. https://bit.ly/3ZkUxGi
The mission of the Central Park Conservancy is to preserve and celebrate Central Park as a sanctuary from the pace and pressures of city life, enhancing the enjoyment and wellbeing of all.
