New skate park aims to unite community in New Haven
“’Being able to see the histories of skaters of color in these communities, building and bonding together, is just absolutely amazing. Doing this event allows young Black and Brown people to see that skateboarding has been for them, that there’s a community, and a global diaspora that they’re a part of and connecting them to the past, present and future of skateboarding culture and to the art world,’ said Dr. Neftalie Williams, a visiting fellow at the Yale Schwarzman Center.”
