This Juneteenth, celebrate with the Central Park Conservancy, Broadway’s DeWitt Fleming, Jr., and an intergenerational community of performers in the historic Seneca Village landscape in Central Park. Interpretive music, dance, and spoken word will transport you to Seneca Village in 1845, where Black New Yorkers built their own homes, churches, and a school. The performance will explore how Andrew Williams’s 1825 land purchase evolved into a thriving community, which existed along what is now the Park’s perimeter from West 82nd to 89th Streets. We invite you to engage with the unique history of Seneca Village—deepening our collective awareness of this significant 19th-century free Black community while bridging past and present.

Directed by Tony Award-winning Broadway legend Ben Harney, the performance was written and conceived by DeWitt Fleming, Jr. and co-produced by DeW It Right Productions, with original works by Markeisha Ensley, Mikumari Caiyhe, and Mercedes White.
