3) La pared

Northwest 12th Avenue from 62nd to 71st streets

Liberty City El Muro was established in the 1930s as a result of the construction of the Liberty Square Housing Development. The Wall was built as a barrier to separate the new Black neighborhood on the west side of Northwest 12th Avenue from the already established white neighborhood on the east side. This concrete barrier stood for many years as a symbol of the Jim Crow era, which haunted American history throughout the years. The seven-foot wall was eventually demolished, and today the remains of the structure run along a median that separates Northwest 12th Avenue from Northwest 12th Avenue.
