Unforgotten: Hart Island

How Art and Advocacy are Enabling Access to a Mass Burial Ground in the Bronx

Episode Summary: Hart Island was purchased by the City of New York in 1868 — to serve as the public burial ground — off the coast of City Island in the Bronx. Operated by the Department of Correction for over 150 years — Hart Island is a hauntingly beautiful landscape, rich with historic remnants, and a final resting place for nearly a million New Yorkers.
