Abolitionist Place Flyer

Duffield Street in Downtown Brooklyn, which is the site of the Underground Railroad Houses that the city is planning to demolish for an underground parking lot topped by a park is being “co-named” Abolitionist Place this afternoon. We’ve guessed all along that if the buildings are demolished, the park will end up with some sort of monument or memorial commemorating abolitionist activity in Brooklyn.
