Year Founded: 1973
Description: The Magnolia Tree Earth Center was born out of Hattie Carthan’s (1901-1984) efforts to save a historic magnolia tree and the three Bedford-Stuyvesant brownstones that provided it shelter. The center has since grown into a full-service community environmental organization with a wide range of programs housed in those original brownstones with the historic magnolia tree out front. The historic magnolia tree was also preserved, and in 1970 was designated a landmark by the New York City’s Landmarks Preservation Commission. Jazz concerts, art exhibitions, poetry readings, panel discussions and book signings all take place at this historic jewel of Brooklyn.
