Drums of Freedom

Sunday, July 20, 2025

2:00 p.m.–5:00 p.m.

Join Prospect Park Alliance for a historical and musical exploration of the little-know enslaved revolt in New Utrecht in 1706. Enslaved Africans throughout the Americas constantly revolted to free themselves and improve their conditions. Come learn about the revolt and listen to the coded drum beats that may have been used to coordinate it.
