An entire Manhattan village owned by black people was destroyed to build Central Park

Three churches, a school, and dozens of homes were demolished

^^^^Prominent abolitionist Albro Lyons and Mary Joseph Lyons were residents of Seneca Village.

The community, called Seneca Village, began in 1825 and eventually spanned from 82nd Street to 89th Street along what is now the western edge of Central Park. By the time it was finally razed in 1857, it had become a refuge for African Americans. Though most were nominally free (the last slave wasn’t emancipated until 1827) life was far from pleasant. The population of African Americans living in New York City tripled between abolition and complete emancipation and the migrants were derided in the press. Mordecai Noah, founder of The New York Enquirer, was especially well-known for his attacks on African Americans, fuming at one point that “the free negroes of this city are a nuisance incomparably greater than a million slaves.”

More than three-fourths of the children who lived in Seneca Village attended Colored School №3 in the church basement. Half of the African Americans who lived there owned their own property, a rate five times higher than the city average. And while the village remained mostly black, immigrant whites had started to live in the area as well. They shared resources ranging from a church (All Angels Episcopal), to a midwife (an Irish immigrant who served the entire town).

But in 1857, it was all torn down.

Even as the church was being built on 86th street, then painstakingly painted white, the original settlers fought for their lands in court. Andrew Williams was paid nearly what his land was worth, after filing an affidavit with the state Supreme Court. Epiphany Davis was not as fortunate, losing hundred of dollars.

By 1871, Seneca Village had largely been forgotten. That year, The New York Herald reported that laborers creating a new entrance to the park at 85th Street and 8th Avenue had discovered a coffin, “enclosing the body of a Negro, decomposed beyond recognition.” The discovery was a mystery, the paper reported, because “these lands were dug up five years ago, when the trees were planted there, and no such coffins were there at the time.” That’s unlikely, as the site was the graveyard of the AME Zion church.

Researchers from Columbia, CUNY, and the New York Historical Society have been working on excavating the site of Seneca Village since the early 2000s. The work has been slow, with excavation starting in 2011.

The only official artifact that remains intact on the site is a commemorative plaque, dedicated in 2001 to the lost village.

People didn’t know about this? We learned about this in school bc the village welcomed and sheltered Irish immigrants during the Famine.

The authorities hated the place because the residents were highly politically active and had ties to the Underground Railroad.

A lot of people assume, because Manhattan was in The North[tm], that it must have been an abolitionist-friendly place (and that its residents then would have had as favorable view of Lincoln as residents today have of Obama).

But the truth is: much of the money flowing through Wall Street was profits from the cotton, sugar, rum and slave trade. The Power Brokers of NYC were solidly on the side of the slaveholders in the South.

Weed Facts

Teenagers don’t smoke more pot in states where marijuana is legal than in states where it is illegal.

DMHP is a synthetic version of marijuana. Developed by the U.S. military in 1949, the effects of the drug can last for days.

Since 2015, marijuana has become the fastest growing industry in the U.S. If marijuana becomes legal in all 50 states, the industry will become larger than the organic food market

Marijuana is the most common illegal drug used in the United States. Approximately 100 million Americans have tried marijuana at least once, and more than 25 million have smoked it in the last year.

The first item sold over the Internet was a bag of marijuana over 40 years ago. Stanford students used Arapnet (an early form of the Internet) to buy weed from their counterparts at MIT

So Canada residents will soon be able to enjoy legal marijuana. Canada is about to become the second country in the world, to legalize marijuana on a national level. The purposed Bill C-45 was approved by parliament in June. Once this bill goes into effect, adults would be able to have up to 30 grams of pot. Ok we see you Canada. Residents would also be able to grow up to four plants. Canada will only allow around 200 retailers around the country, to actually sell & cultivate cannabis. Places like Montreal will have more marijuana shops than the average city in Canada, Montrell is set to open 12 shops. Residents will have a lot of options to choose from.

Certain laws will be different from city to city. Canada is allowing cities and communities to structure there polices to better serve residents. Some places in Canada residents will be allowed to purchase marijuana at 18. Other places have increased this age to 19.

Who is thinking about moving to Canada now?

Weed Quotes

It’s hard to be mean when you’re stoned.—Bill Lee

Have you ever wonders how to get your blunts or joints to burn slower, well everyone has there own way of doing this. I will show you a few things I sometimes do, to make my blunts or joints burn slower.

How To Make A Blunt Burn Slower

One thing I sometime do is I put a little bit of honey, on the outside of my blunt after I roll it. Then I let it just sit for about 10 or 15 mins. This usually increase my blunts burn time by anywhere from 10 to 20 mins. Depending on how much weed I am using.

Another method I use to get my blunts to burn slower is, after I roll a blunt, I put a little water on the outside of the blunt. Then I put the blunt in my freezer for about an hour. The cold air helps to compress the weed. Doing this usually helps my blunt to last a lot longer.

What do you do to make your joints or blunts burn slower.
