Dr. Myeshia Babers will will trace how African Americans helped shape the nation from its founding — building churches, schools, and free communities, including here on Brooklyn’s own ground. 

From there, we will move into a discussion: given the issues facing our communities today, what does that history ask of us now, and what do we need to build and protect going forward?
