Join the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) in partnership with Black Gotham Experience (BGX) and the Four Freedoms Park Conservancy, for Battle in the Margins, a new theatrical production exploring Black life in New York City during the American Revolution. Presented through a series of original plays by playwrights Lauren Smith, Steven Sapp, and Cyrus Aaron, this production centers the experiences, resistance, and contributions of the African Diaspora in shaping early American history, highlighting stories often left out of the nation's founding narrative.
