The Enterprise — Michael Koff

Sitting solemnly: Juanita McCann Neighbors, a second-generation resident of the Rapp Road neighborhood, known as The Promised Land by the African Americans who migrated to the Pine Bush from Mississippi, sits alongside Beverly Bardequez, a third-generation resident and  president of the Rapp Road Historical Association, during a county event on Tuesday. The national theme for Black History Month this year is “Black Migrations.” Between 1910 and 1970, over 14,000 African Americans migrated to the Albany area.
