It's great that the City is honoring Brooklyn's proud Abolitionist past, and this new initiative sounds like a good start.
As it stands, the City's press release does not mention Duffield Street, but I do hope the grant recipients work closely with the Duffield Street advocates.
While 227 Duffield has been saved from destruction by the City, several other properties are awaiting eminent domain condemnation notices. This story is far from over.
