Last month, we refurbished 10 tennis courts in Crotona Park — the only public tennis courts in the Bronx with lights for night play.
We stopped by recently to see how things were going.
Thank you to @NYJTL, @usta and @yonex_tennis for helping us deliver high-quality public spaces that New Yorkers deserve.
I will never forget Nolan Wells.
I will never forget Kendrick Johnson.
I will never forget Trayvon Martin.
I will never forget Emmett Till.
I will never forget George Stinney.

Today, we remember an important turning point in history: the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade.
Here in New York City, we remember the tragedy of slavery through Dr. Lorenzo Pace’s Triumph of the Human Spirit, a memorial at the oldest and largest known burial site of free and enslaved Africans in North America.
On the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition, we honor all those who resisted slavery and fought for their freedom, and we remember those who were killed or died while still enslaved.
We carry their struggle forward by building a city rooted in justice, freedom and dignity for all.
