In honor of Black History Month, FBR presents an appeal for our community's mission to create a Brooklyn Freedom Center where the legacy of slavery and the abolitionist movement in our city can be remembered. From 2004 to 2007, Joy Chatel successfully fought NYC and developers to save her home, part of the Underground Railroad, from the use of eminent domain. Her mission now is to create a Freedom Center where our history can be taught and preserved and where respect and honor can be given to the enslaved people of African descent and those who helped them on the long road to freedom.

  • This is AMERICAN history. Thank you for making this aware to me .. I had no idea NY had this type of thing right under their nose. Shows you how big media just pulls strings to fit their needs..

    This shouldnt be a race thing, were all brothers and sisters!  Thanks for posting this video!
