The Movie

The Rapp Road Community: People and History

will be shown

The movie is about the historical and social significance of Albany’s Rapp Road and the Pine bush. Most of the community’s original residents migrated from Shubuta, Mississippi to Albany, NY in the 1930s and 1940s. The movie includes interviews with several original residents of the migration. The movie was made by Beverly Bardequez, Rapp Road community resident who worked with Albany Pine Bush Discovery Center staff and Dr. Jennifer Lemak, Senior Historian and Curator of African American History at the NYS Museum. The movie includes video interviews with several original residents of the migration. The project was sponsored by Friends of the Pine Bush Community with grant support from the Bender Family Foundation. Don’t miss this fascinating piece of Pine Bush history!
