Join the Urban Park Rangers for a series of distanced outdoor events in New York’s Central Park that will explore the city’s Black history. One walking tour focuses on Seneca Village, which was a neighborhood of predominantly African-American property owners in the pre-Central Park 1800s, while another discusses the sanctuary that the area provided for people escaping slavery via the Underground Railroad. For more modern history, check out Feb. 27’s gathering, which will look at how a recreational room party in the Bronx birthed hip-hop, when its growing crowd spilled over to what is now known as Cedar Playground.
