Save the Underground Railroad
May 1: Duffield St. Hearing

City Hall

10AM, Press Conference on the City Hall steps with Councilmembers
  and supporters of the Duffield Street owners.

11AM, Hearing

Come out for the hearing to help save the Duffield St. homes from
seizure by eminent domain. The City is planning to condemn 227 and 233
Duffield Street to build more parking in Downtown Brooklyn, despite
evidence that these historial homes were part of the Underground
Railroad network and that the firm hired to evaluate these claims,
AKRF, lied and withheld evidence.

AKRF is the same firm that wrote the Atlantic Yards Environmental
Impact Statement, which dozens of neighborhood advocacy and
public-interest groups found to be flawed and incomplete.

The hearing is being held by the NY City Council’s Landmarks
Subcomittee, chaired by Councilman Leroy Comrie, and will cover the
AKRF’s report on the Underground Railroad findings.
