Green-Wood Cemetery

Celebrate this important holiday marking the end of slavery by delving deep into Black history at Green-Wood Cemetary. Participate in free art activities with ASNEAA’s Community Legacy Project: make a legacy bracelet, contribute to the BIPOC Heritage Board, or decorate a kindness rock to take home or leave at a grave.

Families can also take a self-guided tour of the grave sites of fascinating Black historical figures. Maps and biographies of featured burial sites are available when you enter the Cemetery, and the trolley runs on a loop to all sites so folks can hop on and off as they please.

For this event, please enter the Cemetery through the Fort Hamilton Parkway Entrance (Fort Hamilton Parkway and Micieli Place). Craft activities and tour materials can be found there.
