Battle in the Margins "Main Event"

Saturday September 19th 3pm - 6pm

FDR Four Freedoms State Park | Roosevelt Island

The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) in partnership with Black Gotham Experience (BGX) present “Battle in the Margins” a new theatrical project exploring Black life in New York City during the American Revolution. Developed through a series of original ten-minute plays, this project centers the African Diaspora’s experience, resistance, and role in shaping early American history, shining a light on stories often left out of the nation’s founding narrative.
