Feel the pulsating energy of 1863 when Black and Irish cultures meet in the dangerous streets & tenements of Five Points.
A true-life moment when hope and possibility shone bright.
New York, 1863. As the Civil War rages on, free Blacks and Irish immigrants live and love together in the unlikeliest of neighborhoods – the dangerous streets and crumbling tenement houses of Lower Manhattan’s notorious Five Points slum. The amalgamation between the communities took its most exuberant form with raucous dance contests on the floors of the neighborhood bars and dance halls.
