    Should you read this book? If you think it is interesting that on September 11, 2001, Flight 77 reportedly hit the 77 foot tall Pentagon, in Washington D.C. on the 77th Meridian West, after taking off at 8:20 AM and crashing at 9:37 AM, 77 minutes later, then this book is for you. Furthermore, if you can comprehend that there is a code of numbers behind the letters of the English language, as simple as A, B, C is 1, 2, 3, and using this code reveals that phrases and names such as ‘September Eleventh’, ‘World Trade Center’ and ‘Order From Chaos’ equate to 77, this book is definitely for you.

  • The Olde Towne of Flushing Burial Ground: Lesson Plan Series Maura
    The Olde Towne of Flushing Burial Ground: Lesson Plan Series Maura Johnson Sinead Lamel Faculty Advisor: Dr. Johnathan Thayer Graduate School of Library and Information Studies Queens College, CUNY Introduction The Old Towne of Flushing Burial Ground in Flushing, Queens is now home to a park and playground but was an active burial ground from 1840 to 1914. The site was used specifically as an African American and Native American burial ground as well as a public cemetery for those who could not afford a proper burial, and for victims of various pandemics. In 1936, the site was transformed into a park under the guidance of Robert Moses, but since the 1980's community advocates have been working to reclaim the space and honor those buried there. This series of lesson plans focuses on using primary source materials to encourage students to think critically about the history and legacy of the historic Olde Towne of Flushing Burial Ground in Flushing, Queens. Each lesson incorporates a central theme, discussion questions, and archival source materials. Sensitivity note: These lessons touch upon experiences with poverty and discrimination as well as the impact of pandemics in New York City history. Some of the primary sources students will analyze include historical biases. Set expectations for students to communicate with empathy and understanding when talking about these subjects. These lesson plans were created in Fall 2020 by Maura Johnson and Sinead Lamel, students at Queens College Graduate School for Library and Information Sciences, as part of Professor Thayer’s Public History Course. Please send inquiries to the authors at [email protected] and [email protected] 1 Table of Contents Introduction 1 Standards 3 Opportunities for Continued Engagement 4 Lesson 1: Introduction 5 Aim: Students will analyze sources from the 19th century as well today to draw conclusions about the history of the burial ground.
