To Whom It May Concern:
We are a team affiliated with the New York City College of Technology and the Magnolia Initiative that is studying the effects of heat waves and the urban heat island effect in Bedford-Stuyvesant. We hope to better understand which specific areas within New York City, and particularly in the neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant, are most affected by high temperatures.
We have crafted a community survey about heat wave experiences that can be completed in less than 10 minutes. As a valued Bedford-Stuyvesant community member, we believe that you should be invited to participate in this survey.
By completing this survey, you are helping us improve our understanding of heat wave impacts and experiences within these communities, and we hope that our research can help improve community response to heat wave preparedness, recovery, and resilience in addition to science education and engagement. We would greatly appreciate you taking the time to complete the survey, for which the link is included below:

Thank you so much, and we look forward to hearing from you soon.

Amid the rundown buildings and deteriorating streets of Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant section, young children under Project Weeksville are "Digging for Black Pride," and coming up with artifacts which link them to their 19th century ancestors. Black Journal focuses on this project in the second show of the 1971-72 season. Under Project Weeksville, black children are learning of early Bedford-Stuyvesant residents who held off white raiders during the Irish Draft Riots of 1863.
I discovered this site of living history several years ago - a physical community, a village of homes where our African ancestors, formerly enslaved, resided. I was dumbfounded; I had NO knowledge of its existence (I'm not from New York, if that even matters; I'd bet most NY'ers don't know either). This site is LIVING HISTORY - no, OURstory - WE must value, protect & preserve it! Ase.
