More on Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn
Description from Wikipedia:
Bedford-Stuyvesant (pron. \ˈstī-və-sənt\) (also known as Bed-Stuy) is a neighborhood in the central portion of the New York City, USA, borough of Brooklyn. The neighborhood is part of Brooklyn Community Board 3, Brooklyn Community Board 8 and Brooklyn Community Board 16.
Bed-Stuy is bordered overall by Flushing Avenue to the north (bordering Williamsburg); Classon Avenue to the west (bordering Clinton Hill, although it should be noted that prior to the 1980s the area now called Clinton Hill was considered to be Bedford-Stuyvesant as well); Broadway and Van Sinderen Avenue to the east (bordering East New York); Park Place to the south; Ralph Avenue to the east (bordering Crown Heights); and as far as East New York Avenue to the south (bordering Brownsville).
For decades, it has been a cultural center for Brooklyn's African-American population. Following the construction of the A line subway between Harlem and Bedford in the 1930s, blacks left an overcrowded Harlem for more housing availability in Bedford-Stuyvesant. From Bed-Stuy, blacks have since moved into the surrounding areas of Brooklyn, such as East New York, Crown Heights, Brownsville and Fort Greene.
