Establishing a New York city freedom trail task force.

Int 0471-2024

Establishing a New York city freedom trail task force.

This bill would establish a task force to consider the creation of a citywide New York City freedom trail and a “Lower Manhattan freedom trail” in Lower Manhattan. The freedom trails would be walkable tours which mark and commemorate historical sites in New York City that are associated with the abolitionist movement and Underground Railroad. The task force would consist of public officials, academic and historical scholars, and representatives from relevant organizations. The freedom trail task force would be required to conduct at least two public meetings. The task force would be required to submit a report of its recommendations to the Mayor and the Speaker of the Council no later than one year after the task force is first convened.
