African American history in Brooklyn
from Brooklyn Public Library’s website:
“In honor of Black History Month, the Brooklyn Collection has put together a resource page on African-American history in Brooklyn. Drawing from several of our digitized collections, including city directories, Brooklyn Daily Eagle photographs, and the Civil Rights in Brooklyn collection, the resource guide focuses in on abolition efforts in Brooklyn, daily life for Black Brooklynites in the 19th century, and the efforts of the Brooklyn chapter of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) in the 1960s. Both collections can be accessed from our Programs and Exhibitions page. For a wider-angle view of Black history in America, Brooklyn Public Library has also put together several Black History Month webpages, including one focusing on Black genealogy, which can be accessed here.”
