When you get to Barclays Center, the sign “You Belong Here” greets you as you exit the subway or the train. During the 2020 pandemic and the George Floyd protests, the Barclays plaza served as an unofficial town square for members of the community.
As everyone spoke up and fought for their rights, Barclays served as the hub for people from the heights to the flats. “Belonging” comes in various forms and when you create a welcoming space, everyone benefits. It’s something that the Barclays Center’s main residents have taken to heart.
