​Inwood: Candlelight Vigil & Community Potluck

Picture
Upper Manhattan Interfaith Leaders Coalition, Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation Group at Church of the Good Shepherd, Regiven Environmental Project, and Nadema Agard of Red Earth studio organized a candlelight vigil for Native Americans and enslaved Africans at the entrance to Inwood Hill Park at Isham and Seaman Streets, the site of an African burial ground. Prayer from the Abrahamic faiths and a Nigerian burial ceremony honored the land and the people buried there, and freedom songs kept participants warm on this chilly evening before heading inside for a community dinner. ​
