PLEASE HELP WITH A LAST DITCH EFFORT TO #SAVE227DUFFIELD. Support the #AbolitionistChallenge to help us raise $5,000,000 ASAP to buy back the property from the developers and send a strong message that we won’t just let them take our history. Black landmarks matter. Black history matters. Our struggle for liberation will not be erased.
The NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission is expected to release an unfavourable decision in the coming days which will allow the Department of Buildings to grant a demolition permit to the developers. Can you imagine a street named "Abolitionist Place" devoid of abolitionist landmarks? The 227 Duffield Street home is the last known standing site of the historic abolitionist residences in Brooklyn and we won’t let it go down without a fight.
