概要

Rise & Fall – Part 1: Seneca Village – The Dream Beneath Central Park
Before Central Park existed, there was Seneca Village — New York City’s first major free Black community and a true Black Wall Street in Manhattan.
In this powerful first episode of our new series, we uncover how free Black New Yorkers, many just one generation removed from slavery, came together in the 1820s and built a thriving, self-determined community from the ground up.
Meet the visionary founders: Andrew Williams (the first landowner), Epiphany Davis, and the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. Discover how they purchased land, built homes, established churches and schools, planted gardens, and even gained voting rights through property ownership.
This was Black excellence in action — right in the heart of America’s biggest city.
But their success would eventually make them a target.
Part 1 of 2: The Rise of Seneca Village.
