Weeksville was a self-contained,
free African American community in Brooklyn in the 1800’s-early 1900’s made up of property owners—a safe haven for many during slavery, the draft riots, and many challenges facing African Americans in America.
This dramatic presentation comes alive through fictional monologues based on historical events. Journey into the lives of these five men who survived and triumphed against incredible odds!
