We are happy to present Four Freedoms Park Conservancy’s 2017 & 2018 yearbook, and to share with you moments from the past two years that highlight our mission and our goals. More than a decade ago, we began building ’s Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms State Park on Roosevelt , and we thank you, sincerely, for your support and for believing that dream was possible. Since the Park opened in October 2012, we have sought to preserve and program this architectural masterpiece, and now, just six years later, we are pleased to share with you the many ways more than 1,000,000 visitors Barbara Shattuck Kohn, Chair have brought this space to life.

Not too long ago when we became ’s newest resident, the architecture critic Michael Kimmelman wrote in the Times that the Park gave New York “nothing less than a new spiritual heart.” For many visitors, the Park is just that: a respite from a city that operates at an unrelenting pace, a place of quiet contemplation and solitude, and a meaningful public space for civic dialogue. We are thankful to call Roosevelt Island and New York our home, to partner with the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, and to welcome , a world-class graduate campus dedicated Howard Axel, CEO to academics and research for the digital age, to our Roosevelt Island neighborhood. sharing our dream for this Park that stands as a beacon for the four freedoms and a vital As the Conservancy enters its seventh year of reminder of Franklin D.

2 Four Freedoms Park Conservancy A Message from New York State Parks Commissioner Rose Harvey

On behalf of New York State, I congratulate Four Freedoms Park Conservancy for another outstanding year honoring the profound legacy of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. New York is fortunate to have the committed and imaginative leadership of the Conservancy to manage this special and iconic state park, which symbolizes and reminds us of America’s fundamental values: & expression, , freedom from want, and freedom from fear.

Congratulations as well on surpassing one million visitors. The programs are amazing and enlightening. School education programs have almost doubled over the last few years, and we believe they have much room for growth. Visitors come away inspired by the Park’s hopeful message as well as its architecture and stunning views of . Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms State Park shows us how people’s lives are enriched by art, beauty, and discovery – and encouraging public access to these things is a noble effort.

Particularly in this sad era of political and social polarization, Four Freedoms State Park is one of our most important state parks – a place everyone should visit to see, understand and remember the sacrifice that our country, communities and individual Americans have given to honor these values, in the most turbulent of times. Parks bring us together in a way few other social institutions do. Our parks are the great gathering places, for all colors, all creeds, all religions, all countries. On any given day, walk around FDR Four Freedoms State Park or any other state park and enjoy the diversity and rich social fabric of so many cultures together.

We at the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation are honored to include Louis Kahn’s architectural masterpiece into our system, and we look forward to continuing to work with the Conservancy to care for this special place. Thank you again for helping create the kind of world President Franklin D. Roosevelt envisioned.

3 Board Spotlight: Q&A with Eduardo Jany Eduardo Jany directs security operations for Bloomberg in the Americas. He has served in law enforcement with 26 years of police service in Florida, Minnesota, and State, and in the military with 33 years of combined service in the Army and Marine Corps. Eduardo lives on Roosevelt Island and has been a Four Freedoms Park Conservancy board member since 2017.

Having been in the military and in law enforcement I did have the opportunity to travel and move about quite a bit. What I have learned in those years is that as much as we may speak or dress a bit differently we are all really quite similar in our hopes and aspirations. We all value freedom; we value time with our families, being able to move about without restriction, and express ourselves freely without fear. Unfortunately there are elements that are pulling the country to extremes. I can't recall any time in my life that our politicians have been so vitriolic and that hurts us. We really do need to listen, pay attention to facts, to learn from one another, to read, to be culturally attuned and informed.

On your website, you quote John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King. Have these two leaders informed your career and ideology? Absolutely. The selflessness and unwavering sense of duty is You’re one of the Conservancy’s newest board something I admire in both those great men. JFK was members.

I identify with many great community, and philanthropy. What really drew me historical figures, but these two really embody the was the spirit of the board and the Conservancy, both ideology I have hoped to promote. of which embody FDR’s ideals. To say I am proud to be a part of this is an understatement, and if I can In his “Four Freedoms” speech, FDR claimed that contribute in some small way to further the cause I the four freedoms were attainable in our own time will. and generation, “everywhere in the world.” Are we moving closer to this goal, as a global community? With all the recent changes, has Roosevelt Island What can the Conservancy do to help make FDR’s kept its small-town atmosphere? It is certainly a vision a reality? Unfortunately I see that nationalism, challenge to maintain the small-town feel, but the very isolationism, and xenophobia are taking us further structure of the island with the parks, open spaces, away from FDR’s aspiration. Having said that I truly and more residential versus commercial areas has believe that the pendulum will swing back and that we helped to keep that feel. It is nice to walk about and do have a tremendous number of good people, young get a smile and a wave or to see folks you know and old; great thinkers and doers who will most everyday. Roosevelt Island is a great neighborhood certainly rise to the challenge to lead with innovation, and Four Freedoms Park contributes to the beauty we collaboration and peace. The Conservancy should enjoy. definitely be a part of these efforts through education, awareness and outreach promoting the four freedoms.

Wrapping the most vulnerable of the Park’s 120 little-leaf linden and five copper beech trees gives protection from the sun’s harsh winter rays.

Caring for the Park’s 30,000 square feet of cobblestone walkways is essential to preserving the Kahn design and accessibility for all.

7 Inspiring the Next Generation

Through FDR's Four Freedoms Exploring FDR’s vision of “a world founded upon four essential human freedoms”: freedom of speech & expression, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear

Conservancy educators offer multiple dialogue-based programs for school groups in grades 2-12, encouraging students to value their own voices and understand the complex political and historical forces that shape their lives. Field trips meet New York City and New York State learning standards and the Common Core through deep observation, primary source learning, and persuasive writing. In addition, the Conservancy brings the four freedoms to NYC classrooms with intensive residencies, and teaches educators about the four freedoms through professional development workshops at the Park. Each summer, the Conservancy hosts high school interns in collaboration with Studio in a School to create film and social media content informed by the four freedoms. Guided Field Trips by Borough
