Brooklyn Village
This app was very user friendly. Love the plethora of historical information and photos. This will be a tour that I will take on foot with a tribe of future leaders who are well versed in history-our story!

Shallow, safe story-telling
Very shallow as a history. No names named of the perpetrators, only the victims. Who were the “slumlords”, who profited from demolition? What about the “block busting” that followed which caused more segregation from white flight? Who were the politicians that approved this? Whom did they represent? How much of Brooklyn was owner-occupied? What was the average rent? In today’s dollars? Was new and better housing even available during demolition that was affordable?
