ROOTED IN BLACK HISTORY
Bedford-Stuyvesant gets its name from the merging of two villages: Bedford and Stuyvesant Heights. In the 1800s, Weeksville (formerly a section of Bed-Stuy that still borders the neighborhood) was one of the first free black communities in the US, before its sale to the Village of Brooklyn.
Just before the 1900s, Bed-Stuy became a commuter town, home to the working and middle classes who worked in Downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan. Around the Great Depression, immigrants hailing from South America and the Caribbean settled in Bed-Stuy, making it the second largest black community in New York. Soon after, the A train was built, connecting Bed-Stuy to Harlem, quickly making the Brooklyn neighborhood an offshoot of Manhattan’s prominent black community. This earned Bed-Stuy the name ‘Little Harlem’.
PRIDE IN OWNERSHIP
In the 70s and 80s, while many of the brownstones in Bed-Stuy lay abandoned and in disrepair, some saw them as opportunities. We spoke to Juan, who grew up in Brooklyn in the 70s. He recalled the migration of more African-American New Yorkers into Bed-Stuy: “There was a guy whose name was Arthur Square. In the 70s, he bought up the brownstones for a low price and sold them to his friends so that they could have something. The property wasn’t worth much, but this was where they lived.”
Still existing as the second largest black neighborhood in the city, Bed-Stuy continued cultivating this very strong sense of community. Its residents both past and present spoke with pride about barbecues in the street, block parties, old men sitting on stoops, and a general sense that everyone had each other’s backs.
Conaugh-Mae, another lifelong resident, told us about her old neighbor: “There used to be a guy next door, Jimmy. He would sit right here on his little fold up stool with his boombox, drinking his coffee, bopping his head, smiling at everybody.”
While the neighborhood is rapidly changing, its standing appeal stems from this communal, almost small town feel. The camaraderie of community boards and block associations keep drawing newcomers to Bed-Stuy, and make lifelong residents proud to still be there.
