Before it was called Central Park, it was called Seneca Village, a thriving middle class African-American community from about 1823 to 1853 when The New York Legislature used Eminent Domain to remove its 1600 residents in favor of a park. Yup, New York destroyed an entire community in favor if a park.  Those that did not just walk away from their property, were physically removed and often beat and bludgeoned.  It is now on us to remember and honor this community.
