BLACK HISTORY IN THE BRONX - GO BRONX PODCAST

The Go Bronx Podcast walks us through Black History in the Bronx. Did you know that Lincoln Hospital began as a school for “colored nurses?” Or that the first Black jockey competed (and won) at the Jerome Racetrack? What African American notables are interred in Woodlawn and St. Raymond’s cemetery? New York was built on the backs of Black enslaved people. Many fought in the Revolutionary War and even spied for General George Washington. In honor of Black History Month, we delve into the history of Black people in The Bronx and honor the legacy of our brothers and sisters. Find out more in this episode.
