SUMMARY:Sons of the Revolution in the State of New York\, Inc. Evacuation Day Dinner

Celebrate as George Washington did that night\, by raising your glass for the very same thirteen toasts given at the first Evacuation Day Dinner at Fraunces Tavern on November 25\, 1783.

SUMMARY:Unequal Cities: Overcoming Anti-Urban Bias to Reduce Inequality in the United States
DESCRIPTION:Book presentation. Cities are central to prosperity: they are hubs of innovation and growth. Yet the economic vitality of wealthy cities is marred by persistent and pervasive inequality. In his new book Unequal Cities\, economist Richard McGahey argues that deeply entrenched anti-urban policies and politics limit cities’ options to address inequality. Many factors – structural racism\, suburban subsidies\, regional government fragmentation\, the hostility of state legislatures\, and federal policy – contribute to an unequal status quo that underfunds cities while preventing them from pursuing fairer outcomes. Drawing on economic and historical analysis as well as his extensive experience in government and philanthropy\, the author examines the failures of public policy and conventional economic wisdom that have led to the neglect of American cities.

SUMMARY:The History of Antisemitism: Blood Libel
DESCRIPTION:Throughout history\, Jews have been accused of using the blood of non-Jews for “rituals.” This accusation\, which as come to be called “blood libel\,” dates to the second century BCE and continued to grow with the spread of Christianity. In the Middle Ages\, the motif made its way into art and literature like Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. These charges continued through the Nazi era; there was even an accusation in upstate New York in 1928. Today\, the Roman Catholic Church repudiates blood libel\, but accusations continue throughout the world. Join the Museum for a panel discussion about this history and the role it plays in contemporary antisemitism
