  • Newtown Creek Project Packet
    NEWTOWN CREEK PROJECT PACKET Name: ________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTORY READING: Encyclopedia. “Newtown Creek.” The Encyclopedia of New York City. 2nd ed. 2010. Print. Adaptation Newtown Creek is a tributary of the East River. It extends inland for a distance of 3.5 miles, including a number of canals into Brooklyn, and it is the boundary between Brooklyn and Queens. The creek was the route by which European colonists first reached Maspeth in 1642. During the American Revolution the British spent the winter near the creek. Commercial vessels and small boats sailed the creek in the early nineteenth century. About 1860 the first oil and coal oil refineries opened along the banks and began dumping sludge and acids into the water; sewers were built to accommodate the growing neighborhoods of Williamsburg and Greenpoint and discharged their wastes directly into the creek, which by 1900 was known for pollution and foul odors. The water corroded the paint on the undersides of ships, and noxious deposits were left on the banks by the tides. High-level bridges were built from 1903 (some remain). State and city commissions sought unsuccessfully to improve the creek as it became of the busiest commercial waterways in the country, second only to the Mississippi River. The creek was dredged constantly and widened by the federal government to accommodate marine traffic; the creek’s natural depth was between 4 and 12 feet. After World War II the creek’s importance as a shipping route decreased, but it continued to be the site of many industrial plants. During the 1940s and 1950s, leaks at oil refineries including ExxonMobil and ChevronTexaco precipitated one of the largest underground oil spills in history.

  • Roebling and the Brooklyn Bridge
    BOOK SUMMARY She built a monument for all time. Then she was lost in its shadow. Discover the fascinating woman who helped design and construct an American icon, perfect for readers of The Other Einstein. Emily Warren Roebling refuses to live conventionally―she knows who she is and what she wants, and she's determined to make change. But then her husband Wash asks the unthinkable: give up her dreams to make his possible. Emily's fight for women's suffrage is put on hold, and her life transformed when Wash, the Chief Engineer of the Brooklyn Bridge, is injured on the job. Untrained for the task, but under his guidance, she assumes his role, despite stern resistance and overwhelming obstacles. Lines blur as Wash's vision becomes her own, and when he is unable to return to the job, Emily is consumed by it. But as the project takes shape under Emily's direction, she wonders whose legacy she is building―hers, or her husband's. As the monument rises, Emily's marriage, principles, and identity threaten to collapse. When the bridge finally stands finished, will she recognize the woman who built it? Based on the true story of the Brooklyn Bridge, The Engineer's Wife delivers an emotional portrait of a woman transformed by a project of unfathomable scale, which takes her into the bowels of the East River, suffragette riots, the halls of Manhattan's elite, and the heady, freewheeling temptations of P.T. Barnum. It's the story of a husband and wife determined to build something that lasts―even at the risk of losing each other.

  • George Gershwin Alone May 30 – June 10, 2012
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Joyce Linehan for ArtsEmerson, 617-282-2510, [email protected] ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage PRESENTS HERSHEY FELDER AS GEORGE GERSHWIN ALONE MAY 30 – JUNE 10, 2012 High resolution photos available on request Press opening is Wednesday, May 30 at 7 p.m. Please respond to this email with requests. (BOSTON) ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents Hershey Felder’s George Gershwin Alone . Hot on the heels of the Boston premiere of his Maestro: Leonard Bernstein , Felder will reprise his one-man George Gershwin show. Performances will take place May 30 – June 10, 2012 at the Paramount Center (559 Washington Street, in Boston’s Theatre District). Tickets, from $25 – $89, go on sale to members on April 27 and to the public on April 28. They can be purchased at www.artsemerson.org or by phone at (617) 824-8400. Steinway concert artist, composer and actor Hershey Felder spent five years researching George Gershwin’s life and works. He spoke with family members, biographers and Gershwin intimates and secured the rights from the late composer’s estate to develop a solo performance. Felder used Gershwin’s personal correspondences, original manuscripts, and personal belongings to construct a one- man show in which he brings George Gershwin to life. Audiences will experience with the actor Gershwin’s childhood, parents and siblings, as well as his musical triumphs and defeats. Not only is Felder’s appearance strikingly similar to Gershwin’s, but Felder drew on old radio archives to recreate Gershwin’s voice. He also used songs, letters and conversations to recreate the life and times of the great American composer.

  • US Censors LSD Trial, Double Life Sentence Without Parole
    FACT exposé : US censors LSD trial, double life sentence without parole The Strange Trip and Fall of Leonard Pickard Criminal Injustice in the Heartland CJ Hinke [email protected] Freedom Against Censorship Thailand (FACT) http://facthai.wordpress.com More than 13 million Americans have tried LSD. US President John F. Kennedy himself engaged in LSD sessions with his lover Mary Pinchot with acid supplied by Timothy Leary. His brother, US Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, was a vocal critic of the LSD ban; his wife, Ethel, was successfully treated for alcoholism in LSD sessions at Vancouver’s Hollywood Hospital, under the auspices of the International Association for Psychedelic Therapy, which claimed a success rate of 80%. Both brothers were assassinated; few know that Pinchot was also assassinated in her Washington apartment in 1964; her address book was never found. This article addresses another kind of assassination, life sentences for LSD. Nike Atlas Minuteman ICBM The heartland of the United States is riddled with hundreds of nuclear missile silos, now relics of the cold war. Many of these 20+ acre properties were sold to individuals including those doomsday proponents who saw them as the perfect place for survival come Armageddon. The silos have 47-ton fortified blast doors and a 66,000-pound battery bank. They also seem to be popular as a great modern location for server farms and hacker camps. Wamego, Kansas, is the heart of the heartland and welcomed the silos for their government employment opportunities in the country’s farm belt. Waumego was named after Potawatomie chief Waumego but all the Potawatomies were killed in the American Indian Wars in frontier massacres during the mid-1800s.

    ABSTRACT HUMANITIES JONAS-FOWLER, JOYCELYN J. B.A. CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY, 1996 M.P.A. TROY STATE UNIVERSITY, 2005 IS THIS BLACK ENOUGH FOR YOU? A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN FAMILIES PORTRAYED IN BLACK FAMILY TELEVISION COMEDIES BETWEEN 1980 AND 2000 Committee Chair: Charmayne Patterson, Ph.D. Dissertation dated May 2018 Research shows that black people watch more television than any other race of people, and, given that television is the most influential media tool, the content of what may affect an audience’s behavior and beliefs deserves analysis. This study examines the black family, alleged pathology, strengths that are specifically associated with them, its portrayal on television, and how television is used as a tool for socialization and influence. A content analysis of the top thirty black family shows that appeared on major network television between 1980 and 2000 was conducted to determine if the family framed was portrayed realistically. Each show analyzed was found to portray some characteristic of strong black families, attributes some media and social critics had not previously recognized or acknowledged. This study suggests that further research is warranted from black family, cultural, and media scholars, as well as social policy and i program makers, and on how television influences entire cultures to shift socially and economically. ii IS THIS BLACK ENOUGH FOR YOU?
