Our Seneca Village Heritage tee celebrates a powerful but often overlooked chapter in New York City's history. Just as the roots of a tree grow unseen beneath the surface, Seneca Village's legacy continues to influence our understanding of early Black American communities despite being physically erased from Manhattan's landscape.
This premium comfort-wear features a subtle map outline of Seneca Village's boundaries as it existed from 1825 to 1857, situated in what is now Central Park's western edge. The design includes artistic representations of the three churches, two schools, and vibrant community that thrived there as New York's first free Black settlement.
Crafted Made from ethically sourced, high-quality 100% US ring-spun cotton for maximum comfort, this tee connects you to a heritage of resilience, community ownership, and the untold stories beneath one of America's most famous parks.
Wear history. Honor legacy. Remember Seneca Village.
