Meet the Black Brooklynites who defined New York City’s most populous borough through their search for social justice. Join us on Thursday, January 23, at 12 PM for a Brooklynites Book Talk, a free webinar from the NYS Library.

Before it was a borough, Brooklyn was our nation’s third largest city. Its free Black community attracted people from all walks of life—businesswomen, church leaders, laborers, and writers—who sought to grow their city in a radical anti-slavery vision.

In this book talk, Dr. Prithi Kanakamedala (Professor of History, Bronx Community College and CUNY Graduate Center) will discuss her first full-length book. Brooklynites (NYU Press, 2024) is a cultural and social history as told through four ordinary families from Brooklyn’s nineteenth-century free Black community.

Prithi Kanakamedala is a Professor of History at Bronx Community College CUNY. Brooklynites: the Remarkable Story of the Free Black Communities that Shaped a Borough (NYU Press, 2024) is her first full-length book.
