Caribbean Hill, Brooklyn
Brooklyn, NY
Crown Heights and Flatbush neighborhoods in Brooklyn, New York, became the center of Caribbean-American life in the United States following the 1965 Immigration Act, with large communities from Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbados, Guyana, and Haiti. The annual West Indian American Day Carnival, one of the largest parades in North America, originates here.
