National Night Out is an annual event that happens on the 1st Tuesday of August and the mission of this event is to Bridge the Gap between Law Enforcement and the Community.  It’s a fun-filled night for all to attend throughout the 5-boroughs.

 For our community the location is the north end of Marcus Garvey Park at 120^th Street between Madison & 5^th Avenues.

Local organizations are asked to participate and HNBA plans to host a table as we did last year.

So, we’re calling on our membership for volunteers to help man the table.  We will have a fun activity for the kids & adults and little prizes to give out, too.  Please note, if you can’t man the table, you can also help by:

- Assisting with set up, break down

- In-kind donations such as snacks, food for the grill, condiments, water, ice, etc.

If you would like to volunteer your time in any capacity, please contact HNBA @ ____________ by 7/26.

 It was a great event last year and we look forward to hanging out together again with our local officers and the community. 

It’s that time of year again!  NYPD National Night Out – Tuesday, August 6^th -4:00 – 8:00pm.

At the very least, plan to come out and enjoy a fun-filled evening!

Special Advisor to Lead Harlem African Burial Ground’s Community Engagement Announced

Bridge Philanthropic Consulting, has been selected by The New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) and the Harlem African Burial Ground Initiative (HABGI) to lead community engagement efforts for the Harlem African Burial Ground. Bridge Philanthropic, in turn, has chosen Architect Rodney Leon as a Special Advisor to the project. Mr. Leon is the designer of the African Burial Ground Memorial in Lower Manhattan and the “Ark of Return” Permanent Memorial to the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade at the United Nations.  

The site, located on E126th Street between 1st and 2nd Avenues, was originally created in 1668 as a cemetery for deceased enslaved and free Africans in Harlem, which was part of a  Dutch colony at the time. In August of 2023 the NYCEDC and HABGI announced a new phase of archaeological work on the site. The proposed project will feature a memorial, cultural center and affordable housing development.

HABGI is part of Mayor Eric Adams’s “24 in 24” plan to make progress on 24 affordable housing projects in 2024 which will preserve and develop 12,000 units of housing in NYC.
