"So much history lies in Bed-Stuy that speaks to the texture black southerners brought to the city over the last 200 years. Formerly the home of Josephine English, the first black OB/GYN (she delivered Malcolm X’s children) in the state of New York in 1949. Her home has been converted into a community space housing doula services and local vendors." - Stephanye Watts
