Product Description
BX-06: "BX-06" by Oana Stanescu Family NY
Bronx Community District 6 represents the areas of Bathgate, Belmont, East Tremont, and West Farms, and is home to Lady Mount Carmel Church, Fordham University, and the real Little Italy. Yet in spite of such diversity and vibrant, close knit communities, BX-06 is also struggling on many fronts; almost half of the residents are living under the federal poverty line, and the unemployment rate is the highest of any community district in NYC. And then there is the zoo...
Giraffes graze quietly, surrounded by tall, imposing trees. Malayan tiger cubs explore the lush vegetation. An orphan snow leopard from Pakistan, now at home in the Bronx, is staring back at you with a contempt only a wild animal can show. It’s a strange oasis in the concrete city. One could easily imagine being on a different continent were it not for the soundtrack: helicopters and planes buzzing consistently in the skies above, the street life competing with the animals’ sounds. The two worlds collide, but never connect, separated by turnstiles and fences.
Kalief Browder grew up on the very border of these contrasting worlds and used to love free Wednesdays at the zoo. One day, at 16, he was arrested for allegedly stealing a backpack - something he didn't do - and imprisoned for over three years on Rikers Island without a trial, spending most of his time in solitary confinement in a room of seven by twelve feet. He shared his story in detail “so that nobody else would have to endure the same ordeals,” but his case was dismissed and he never got his day in court. Two years after his release, Kalief Browder died by suicide. It all started and ended there, at the edge of these parallel universes, in BX-06.
