, Credit: Green-Wood Staff Celebrating the Black pioneers of Brooklyn, this trolley tour honors the trailblazers at rest in Green-Wood who shaped art, activism, music, and medicine. Visit the memorials of revolutionary artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, civil rights leaders Grace Nail Johnson and James Weldon Johnson, mathematician Charles L. Reason (the first Black college professor in the United States), and other visionaries whose legacies live on in the ongoing fight for equality. Offered as part of Brooklyn 250 at Green-Wood , this tour explores themes that reach beyond the Revolutionary War to examine the broader American experience. Through these stories, we reflect on how the struggle for liberty has shaped generations throughout American history and continues to influence our future. Brooklyn 250 is made possible with funding championed by Assemblymember Robert Carroll, Assemblymember Jo Anne Simon, and State Senator Andrew Gounardes.
