AKRF vs. History: The Duffield St. Houses Discredit AKRF

Discrediting AKRF's study was key to stopping the City of New York from destroying an Underground Railroad home for a parking lot. AKRF is a consulting company popular with corrupt city officials because they will say whatever the official wants. Their study on the Duffield St. houses in Brooklyn cost $500,000, was rejected by its own peer reviewers, and magically avoided including an archaeologist on a historical study. AKRF was exposed this time, and a house was saved from Eminent Domain Abuse. AKRF however is the corrupt consulting company that has produced thousands of meaningless pages of environmental studies the State of New York has used to justify Bruce Ratner's so-called "Atlantic Yards" project. A no-bid, insider deal in which the state will actually take property from private owners and transfer it to a new private owner, Bruce Ratner. It is hoped that this program which exposes the AKRF consulting firm's techniques and tricks will aid in decertifying the bogus Atlantic Yards Environmental Impact Statement and send the project back to the drawing boards (and Community Boards) for rethinking.

Too much of this city's true history remains virtually unknown. This history of New York City involving the slave underground movement needs to be in school textbooks.
