#SenecaVillage, in #NewYorkCity, was a vibrant community of free #Black Americans and Irish & German #immigrants. In 1857 the city seized it all through #EminentDomain and evicted everyone there, finishing the process on #ThisDayInHistory, and built #CentralPark open its bones.

I never knew this.

#CentralPark
Before Central Park, there was Seneca Village, a predominantly Black community in Manhattan.

They were forcibly removed in the 1850s to make way for Central Park.

This displacement is recognized as a dark chapter in New York's history, involving the erasure of a thriving community.

Talk about it. 🙏🏽 Either they went in with [or without] hoods and tore it asunder or simply put a freeway through the heart of it. #BlackBottom. #ParadiseValley. #MillCreekValley. #Ocoee. #SenecaVillage.

Seneca Village was a thriving, primarily African American community in Manhattan that existed from 1825 to 1857, before being destroyed to make way for Central Park.
