The Life & Rhymes of Jay-Z, an Historical Biography
ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE LIFE & RHYMES OF JAY-Z, AN HISTORICAL BIOGRAPHY: 1969-2004 Omékongo Dibinga, Doctor of Philosophy, 2015 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Barbara Finkelstein, Professor Emerita, University of Maryland College of Education. Department of Teaching and Learning, Policy and Leadership. The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the life and ideas of Jay-Z. It is an effort to illuminate the ways in which he managed the vicissitudes of life as they were inscribed in the political, economic cultural, social contexts and message systems of the worlds which he inhabited: the social ideas of class struggle, the fact of black youth disempowerment, educational disenfranchisement, entrepreneurial possibility, and the struggle of families to buffer their children from the horrors of life on the streets. Jay-Z was born into a society in flux in 1969. By the time Jay-Z reached his 20s, he saw the art form he came to love at the age of 9—hip hop— become a vehicle for upward mobility and the acquisition of great wealth through the sale of multiplatinum albums, massive record deal signings, and the omnipresence of hip-hop culture on radio and television. In short, Jay-Z lived at a time where, if he could survive his turbulent environment, he could take advantage of new terrains of possibility. This dissertation seeks to shed light on the life and development of Jay-Z during a time of great challenge and change in America and beyond.

Bed-Stuy Housing Initiative: Faqs
Bed-Stuy Housing Initiative: FAQs Vacant City-owned land on Fulton Street What is the Bed-Stuy Housing Initiative? The NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development is launching an initiative that evaluates and improves HPD’s investments in preserving and developing affordable housing in Bedford-Stuyvesant through targeted stakeholder engagement. The initiative will coordinate housing- related agencies working in Bed-Stuy, to ensure that HPD programs and capital investments, including the development of vacant, City-owned land, are working towards common objectives for the neighborhood. Why Bed-Stuy? In the 1960s, Bedford Stuyvesant was the birthplace of the first Community Development Corporation, ushering in a national movement for grassroots community revitalization and affordable housing. Local leaders and organizations have worked over the past half-century to promote justice, economic development, and neighborhood stability. Today, Bedford-Stuyvesant is changing quickly. The Black population decreased by 24 percentage points from 2000 to 2017, and the non-Hispanic White population increased by roughly the same percentage. Over the last decade, the median gross rent also increased in the neighborhood by more than double the rate of New York City. Long-time residents are feeling the pressure of rising rents and a strong real estate market. HPD also owns vacant land in Bed-Stuy, some of which has been awaiting redevelopment for decades. The Bed-Stuy Housing Initiative will prioritize the development of new affordable housing on public land, and will lead a visioning process to ensure the housing responds to local needs. What will be the result of this process? At the end of the process, a report that summarizes community feedback, evaluates the impact of the agency’s work in the neighborhood, and identifies opportunities for improvement will be created and shared with the public.

DOI ARRESTS FIVE BROOKLYN RESIDENTS in $69K HOUSING FRAUD One New York City HRA Employee Concealed Her City Income
The City of New York Department of Investigation ROSE GILL HEARN COMMISSIONER 80 MAIDEN LANE Release # 47--2006 NEW YORK, NY 10038 nyc.gov/html/doi 212-825-5900 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: KEITH SCHWAM FRIDAY, JUNE 2, 2006 (212) 825-5931 DOI ARRESTS FIVE BROOKLYN RESIDENTS IN $69K HOUSING FRAUD One New York City HRA employee concealed her City income. ROSE GILL HEARN, Commissioner of the New York City Department of Investigation (DOI), announced today the arrest of four New York City Housing Authority (“NYCHA”) residents and one former Section 8 recipient for fraudulently receiving approximately $69,911 in rent subsidies for apartments located throughout the Borough of Brooklyn. Arrested today were four NYCHA tenants from the Williamsburg, Bushwick and Clinton Hill sections of Brooklyn and one former Ocean Hill Section 8 tenant. Each defendant has been charged with Grand Larceny in the Third Degree, Offering a False Instrument for Filing in the First Degree, and related crimes. If convicted, each faces up to seven years in prison. DOI Commissioner Rose Gill Hearn said, “DOI will continue to investigate and arrest individuals, including public employees, who commit fraud to obtain public housing benefits to which they are not entitled, when so many needy and eligible people are waiting for affordable housing.” ANGELA FARMER, 37, who received Section 8 subsidies for an apartment at 271 Bainbridge Street, Brooklyn, is charged with failing to report to NYCHA that, since May 2002, she has been employed as a Job Opportunity Specialist with the New York City Human Resources Administration (“HRA”). Instead, FARMER told NYCHA, on her 2002, 2003, and 2004 yearly Affidavits of Income, that her income consisted only of her son’s Supplemental Security Income and child support.

My name is Paul Holdengräber, and I’m the Director of LIVE from the New York Public Library. You have heard me say that my goal at the Library is to make the lions roar. Well, guess what? Tonight my goal is to make the lions rap! Last time we were here we had Keith Richards here at the library. It’s a great honor tonight to have Jay-Z, (applause) and as far as I’m concerned LIVEJay-Z_11.15TranscriptQUERIES 1 there’s a great—there’s a great continuity here, partly because there is continuity, partly because Jay-Z has been around for twenty years and Keith Richards has stood his own as well. So the library is roaring, we’re making it live, we’re making it come alive. We’re making the books dance, we’re making a heavy institution levitate and as I always ask, I’ve asked now for six years, if anybody in this building knows how much this library weighs, please tell me.

Message from the Chairman NYCHA’S Challenges Are Daunting
First-Class U.S. Postage Paid New York, NY Permit No. 4119 NYCHA Vol. 42 No. 8 www.nyc.gov/nycha October 2012 Message from the Chairman NYCHA’s challenges are daunting. We have an aging infrastructure with a multi- billion dollar capital shortfall that faces ongoing cuts from the federal government, and a backlog of repairs that some residents wait for months or even years to be addressed. Since 2002, NYCHA’s annual capital subsidies have been cut in half in real terms – even though three quarters of our buildings are more than 30 years old. Over the past decade, NYCHA also has received $1.4 billion less in operating subsidies than is required by federal formula. Our roadmap for preserving public housing in New York City – Plan NYCHA – spells out very clearly what we need to do to renew and revitalize public housing. This includes finding new and creativeJourna ways for us to generate funding. With this in mind, l we are going to leverage one of the most valuable assets in the City: our land. Many NYCHA properties are under-built. We have room to grow. So we will offer our sites for the development of market rate and affordable housing and, in some cases, commercial, retail and community facilities. This will generate hundreds of NYCHA Chairman John B. Rhea speaks at the Association for a Better New York breakfast on millions of dollars – all of which can be plowed back into our buildings to improve September 24, 2012, after being introduced by William C. Rudin, Chairman of ABNY.

Growing Pains Come and Go I
Growing Pains Come and Go in Bed-Stuy - NYTimes.com http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/27/nyregion/27gentrify.html?_r=2&sq=bed%20stuy&st=cse&o... July 27, 2008 Growing Pains Come and Go in Bed-Stuy By MANNY FERNANDEZ Dakota Blair acknowledges that both he and the apartment building where he lives are somewhat out of place. Mr. Blair, 23, a software engineer from East Texas, pays $1,700 a month for a studio in what he calls the Yuppie Spaceship: a new luxury apartment building on an unluxurious corner in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. After nine months in the neighborhood, which New York magazine labeled the city’s “next hipster enclave,” Mr. Blair is considering moving out. He figures that for $1,700, he could be living in Manhattan. There is a subway station down the street from his building at Myrtle and Nostrand Avenues, but it is for the G train, which does not go into Manhattan. Other neighborhoods eagerly anticipate the arrival of new cafes or restaurants, but on Myrtle Avenue, the biggest news is the opening of a Duane Reade pharmacy. “The only thing keeping me here is my lease,” Mr. Blair said. Even for hipsters, life in one of New York City’s frontier neighborhoods — long-troubled places at the fringes of gentrification — can be anything but smooth, particularly in these uncertain economic times. New residents like Mr. Blair have grown frustrated waiting for change to come to Bed-Stuy, a north-central Brooklyn neighborhood with high rates of crime and foreclosures, trash-strewn streets and limited night life.

The City of New York
IN THE MATTER OF CLARENCE SAMUELS COIB CASE NO. 2008-910 JULY 22, 2009 SUMMARY: The Board fined a New York City Housing Authority (“NYCHA”) Supervising Housing Caretaker $1,000 for receiving fees from two tax preparation companies for referring five of his subordinates to the companies and for receiving faxes at his job in connection with this private business. The NYCHA Supervising Housing Caretaker acknowledged that he violated the City’s conflicts of interest law, which prohibits a public servant from using his or her City position to attempt to obtain any financial gain for the public servant or any person or firm associated with the public servant and prohibits public servants from using City resources for non-City purposes. In setting the amount of the fine, the Board took into consideration that for this conduct the Supervising Housing Caretaker was suspended by NYCHA for three days, valued at approximately $586. COIB v. Samuels, COIB Case No. 2008-910 (2009). STIPULATION AND DISPOSITION: WHEREAS, the New York City Conflicts of Interest Board (the “Board”) and Respondent Clarence Samuels wish to resolve this matter on the following terms, Respondent Clarence Samuels states the following: 1. From April 21, 1991, through the present, I have been employed by the New York City Housing Authority (“NYCHA”). From March 2001 to February 2004, I was Supervising Housing Caretaker of NYCHA’s Marcy Houses. From February 2004 through October 2005, I was assigned to the NYCHA Brooklyn Borough Office. Since October 2005, I have been Supervising Housing Caretaker of NYCHA’s Red Hook Houses.
