San Juan Hill: Manhattan's Lost Neighborhood


 

Home to a largely working-class community, San Juan Hill was redlined in the 1930s and targeted by “urban renewal” in the 1940s and 1950s, when thousands of residents were displaced to make way for Amsterdam Houses, Lincoln Center, Fordham University, and additional developments. Their stories of home, belonging, and resilience have gone untold for far too long… until now. Through never-before-accessed historical footage, expert commentary, first-person storytelling with former residents, and narration by Academy Award-winning actress Ariana DeBose (West Side Story), San Juan Hill: Manhattan’s Lost Neighborhood traces the neighborhood’s rise and fall—and celebrates the people, arts, and culture whose enduring legacy still resonates today.
