Voices of Black New York's Forgotten Past | New York City News
Description
Step into the cramped, vibrant world of Joseph and Rachel Moore, a Black couple surviving in Lower Manhattan’s tenements during the 1860s–70s—now brought to life through the Tenement Museum’s “4A Apartment Tour.” But this isn’t just one family’s story—it’s part of a larger, urgent mission to preserve Black New York’s legacy, especially in Harlem, where activists like Kathryn Destin and Michael Unthank are rallying communities through exhibitions and art festivals to ensure their voices, struggles, and triumphs echo through generations. This is more than history—it’s a living, breathing testament to resilience and identity in the heart of the city.
