25 Famous People You Didn’t Know Were From Flatbush, Brooklyn

Few Brooklyn neighborhoods can tell their history through as many different kinds of famous people as Flatbush. Barbra Streisand and Neil Diamond walked the halls of Erasmus Hall High School before either became a recording star. A future Supreme Court justice grew up in a Brooklyn household that prized education.

Even the list of names associated with Flatbush’s later hip-hop culture would fill an article of its own.
