THE VOCES CIUDADANAS ORAL HISTORY PROJECT\/ SUNSET PARK, BROOKLYN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Voces Ciudadanas Oral History Project seeks to unearth the voices and memories of Brooklyn\u2019s Sunset Park residents who have been involved in creating community spaces for the benefit of all. It seeks to foster community learning from past strategies, methods, and motivations to inform future imaginaries and concrete possibilities leading to the creation of new community spaces as a way to address structural inequalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Voces Ciudadanas Oral History Project brings together the diverse immigrant communities that have fought to create community spaces, either tangible or intangible, for the benefit of all in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park. The narrators of this oral history project include residents and community leaders involved in past and current local initiatives, campaigns, and coalitions, including Make Space for Schools, Defensores, El Grito de Sunset Park, and the Coalition for Community Space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This collective oral history project was conceived as an organizing tool to learn about past community organizing endeavors in the face of the demolition and new construction of the Sunset Park Public Library. Under the leadership of the community-based organization Voces Ciudadanas, local residents, civic groups, and community organizations got together and started organizing to preserve the temporal space the public library used while the new construction took place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
