SUMMARY:“I Am André” Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:Diana Mara Henry’s I Am André is an amazing real-life story of espionage\, of courage and resistance\, and of friendship and love. It pulls back the veil on the hidden history of the struggle for the identity of the Resistance in France. The life of ‘André’ Joseph Scheinmann is more intriguing and compelling than any work of fiction.

SUMMARY:Road to Nowhere: How a Highway Map Wrecked Baltimore
DESCRIPTION:In her new book\, Road to Nowhere: How a Highway Map Wrecked Baltimore\, historian Emily Lieb describes the Baltimore suburb of Rosemont\, which in the 1950s was a vibrant Black middle-class neighborhood of rowhouses and small businesses. By the end of the decade\, Rosemont was effectively destroyed by plans for an expressway that was planned\, but never completed. Lieb’s detailed research and analysis clarifies the practices of blockbusting\, redlining\, and prejudicial lending\, and highlights these patterns at work in a single neighborhood. Her absorbing story of the interwoven tragedies caused by urban renewal and transportation policy and their lasting effects on racial inequalities in housing\, education\, jobs\, and health clearly describes both a local history and a national problem.

SUMMARY:American Presidents in New York: It Happened Here
DESCRIPTION:Symposioum. Every American President passed through New York City. Some were born here such as Theodore Roosevelt. Some lived here including Herbert Hoover who spent his post Presidential years residing in the Presidential Suite at the Waldorf Astoria. Some were married here. In 1844\, for instance\, John Tyler wed Julia Gardiner at the Church of the Ascension on 5th Avenue & 10th Street.  Some worked here.  Chester Arthur practiced law in New York first before he was appointed the Collector of the Port of New York\, a position which actually paid more than the presidency. Some received medical care here.  Grover Cleveland was operated on for cancer of the jaw on a yacht off of Pier A. Some like Ulysses S Grant went bankrupt here. Some launched their candidacy here.  Abraham Lincoln gave the famous speech at Cooper Union that launched his candidacy and sadly returned a few years later in a casket to City Hall to terminate it. The appropriate place to celebrate President’s Day is\, of course\, Federal Hall\, our first capital whose balcony was the site of Washington’s inauguration.

SUMMARY:Lunar New Year: East Asian Architecture
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our Lunar New Year Family Program as we explore the vernacular architecture of East Asia from ancient times to the skyscraper spires of today. By learning about history\, architecture\, and planning\, we’ll build a broader understanding of how these buildings came to be\, what they teach us about height in history\, and why they ignite our excitement about building tall. Then\, to celebrate Lunar New Year\, we’ll create illuminated paper lanterns inspired by the architecture we explored!

SUMMARY:Immigrant Stories Film Series: Pressure
DESCRIPTION:Immigrant Stories is a collection of films that illustrate the immigrant experience as it progresses along the generations. Free popcorn will be served\, and a discussion will follow the screenings. Pressure (Horace Ové\,1976\, 136 minutes) is a film about Tony\, a second-generation British-born Black teenager of Trinidadian descent\, who struggles to find his place in 1970s London. Caught between his parents’ desire for assimilation and his brother’s Black Power activism\, his growing frustration with institutional racism and unemployment leads him towards radicalization\, exploring the identity crisis of a generation caught between two cultures. Pressure was the first British feature to be written and directed by a Black filmmaker and the first to focus on the perspective of Black characters. The Guardian said\, “Pressure is vigorous and rough-hewn and Ové lays down the broad brushstrokes with compulsive energy. It has the punchy quality of a 21st-century graphic novel\, eagerly tackling Black Power and social realism\, mixing comedy\, tragedy and irony.”
