Jane’s Walk NYC 2026: Black Brooklyn Bedford Stuyvesant Memories (1930’s-60’s) along the A/C train
05/02/2026 01:00 PM - 03:00 PM ET
Admission
- Free
Summary
The A and C trains brought thousands of Southern and Caribbean migrants to Bedford Stuyvesant during the 1st and 2nd waves of the Great Migration. Fulton Street remains the primary commercial artery for the community; however the community has changed. Although the jazz/ venue sites have been demolished or repurposed, we remember the rich jazz legacy of the community.
We will walk through the streets that produced luminaries such as Max Roach, Randy Weston, Jitu Weusi, Judges John Phillips and William Thompson, Andrew and Jocelyn Cooper, Joan Maynard, Bertram Baker, Ernesta Procope, Bethann Hardison, June Jordan, Paule Marshall, Roxie Roker, Una Mulzac, Hattie Carthan, Elsie Richardson, Dr. Josephine English the women of the United Order of The Tents to name a few and the multitudes who labored in obscurity.
