Greenpoint, Brooklyn | DiverseCITY

On this episode of DiverseCITY, we learn why some Greenpoint activists are concerned about losing local jobs to a city development plan for the neighborhood. We hear about the effort to clean up the site of one of the largest environmental disasters in US history and create more green space near that waterway. We visit a local radio station that’s connecting second generation Poles to their culture. We meet a teacher turned local historian who schools us on the community’s fascinating past. Then we profile a café that’s made its name with sweet treats at sweet prices.
