The history and future of the Domino Sugar factory is this history and future of North Brooklyn.  At one time, 90% of US sugar was produced between the Williamsburg Bridge and Newtown Creek.

We'll paddle war canoes to what remains of this historic icon and discuss slavery, greed, immorality, monopolies, immigration and buildings that seem to be spelling something.
