Borrowed & Returned

Blocks and Brownstones


Listen Later

Perhaps Brooklyn’s most iconic neighborhood is Bedford-Stuyvesant. The tree-lined streets and grand brownstones have been here for over 150 years, while the Brooklynites who call those brownstones home are constantly changing. In this episode, we tell the story of this neighborhood through the lives of three women who set down roots there in different ways: activist Hattie Carthan, writer Paule Marshall, and novelist Naomi Jackson.    Read the transcript and check out our book list here: https://www.bklynlibrary.org/podcasts/blocks-and-brownstones
