The public art project will be located at Fair Meadow Park in Huntington Station

The public art project will be located at Fair Meadow Park in Huntington Station, on the northwest corner of the intersection of Park Avenue, Pulaski Road, and East Fifth Street. The committee is looking for a project that pays tribute to the contributions, and in many cases, sacrifices, of noteworthy Black residents from the Town’s earliest days to its present. Huntington has been home to African-American musicians, Pulitzer-prize winning journalists, religious leaders, writers, community activists, trailblazers, business owners, and elected officials. Regardless of their economic or social station, quite a few of these individuals have left a lasting imprint of their life’s passion, personal struggles and work in Huntington, and in some cases, far beyond.  For your reference, we provide examples to inform you of our local African-American heritage that can be found online in booklets published by the Town’s African-American Historic Designation Council at www.huntingtonny.gov/African-American-Heritage.
