Crown Heights Photography Project

What was Crown Heights like in 1970? What is it like to be a 14-year old in Crown Heights today? What has changed, and what remains the same? Citizens Committee for New York City is promoting intergenerational dialogue between youth and adults to engage in civic leadership with the Crown Heights Photography Project. The project brings youth together with adult grassroots leaders and activists to document their neighborhood using photography.
