Beastie Boys’ Adam Horovitz, Brooklyn officials and a huge crowd denounce hate symbols in Adam Yauch Park
Hundreds came together Sunday morning to denounce ugly symbols of hate in a Brooklyn Heights playground named after one of music’s greats.
A crowd estimated to run upwards of 500 overflowed into the streets surrounding Adam Yauch Park and onto the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE) entrance ramp for a rally spearheaded by state Sen. Daniel Squadron and joined by hip-hop group Beastie Boys member Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz, along with numerous officials and religious leaders.
