*Basketball Finals Tonight at the Plymouth Church in Brooklyn Heights*

[Kevin Dailey]

Yo, this church has some righteous history, and we are honored and privileged to have our Finals there:

When it was founded in 1847 by 21 transplanted New Englanders,^[6] the church was the thirdCongregationalist church to be organized in Brooklyn – then a separate city from New York – and its first pastor was Henry Ward Beecher, who became a leading figure in the Abolitionist movement.^[1]Beecher remained at the church until his death in 1887.^[2][6] Reflecting Beecher's views, the church was a station on the Underground Railroad. A statue of Beecher by sculptor Gutzon Borglum, noted for his work on Mount Rushmore, now stands in the church garden.^[1][2]

Let's rock!  9pm.  Order on the Court v. Yushi.  Who is more God-fearing?  I am really excited, this will be a great game.  Who knows, maybe I can convince them to have a Best of 3.  If we go have this nice gym at our access, why not?  Regardless, I hope many of you are willing to make the trip.  See yas tonight!

The directions are here. Entrances to the Plymouth Church buildings are on Hicks and Orange Streets in Brooklyn Heights.
