The Amsterdam News was founded in 1909 and takes its name from its original location one block east of Amsterdam Avenue. James Henry Anderson founded the paper with just a $10 investment, and at the time it was one of only a handful of black-owned newspapers in the United States. The paper originally sold for just 2 cents out of Anderson’s home, yet it was eventually sold to the Powell Savory Corporation, which helped the paper write about both local and national news. The newspaper published the writings of W.E.B. DuBois and Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., and it was one of the first publications to publish Malcolm X. Today, the paper is edited by Elinor Tatum, daughter of previous Editor-in-Chief Wilbert Tatum. St. Philip’s Episcopal Church on West 134th Street is the oldest black Episcopal parish in New York City, founded in 1809 by free African Americans. The church was originally named the Free African Church of St. Philip and was first located in the Five Points neighborhood, before moving north to Harlem. The church’s first rector was Rev. Peter Williams, Jr., an abolitionist who also supported free black emigration to Haiti and served on the executive committee of the American Anti-Slavery Society. Many of the church’s members were pioneers in their fields, including many teachers, doctors, restauranteurs, and marine traders. The church would suffer damage in the mid-1800s due to vandalism by whites and by the NYPD during the 1863 Draft Riots. The church moved to Harlem in the early 1900s and was designed by Tandy & Foster, prominent African-American architects, in the Neo-Gothic style. The church included among its parishioners Dr. James McCune Smith, the first African American to hold a medical degree. Among its members were W.E.B. DuBois, Thurgood Marshall, and Langston Hughes. .

  • IMAGINATION, INQUIRY, & VOICE a Deweyan Approach to Education In
    AMANDA N. GULLA, HOLLY FAIRBANK, & STEPHEN M. NOONAN IMAGINATION, INQUIRY, & VOICE A Deweyan Approach to Education in a 21st Century Urban high School Figure 1. MGHS student ARTE Spring Mural. 2018. Retrieved from: https://www.mghs.nyc/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=1111369&type=d&pREC_ID=14063 71 Abstract: We describe the ways in which the teachers and administrators at The Maxine Greene High School for Imaginative Inquiry (MGHS), an urban public high school named for the philosopher Maxine Greene, are working to embody Greene’s and Dewey’s notion of imagination in the context of a practice called “imaginative inquiry.” Greene considered the role of the imagination in education as a call to action, for once one can imagine a better world, one is compelled to act. Following on and extending Dewey’s work, she defined her philosophy of aesthetic education as signifying “an initiation into new ways of seeing, hearing, feeling, moving…the nurture of a special kind of reflectiveness and expressiveness, a reaching out for meanings, a learning to learn" (p. 7). Imaginative inquiry, the vehicle for enacting an aesthetic education curriculum, is a practice that is fueled by curiosity by which the imagination interacts with the world to bring about multiple possible meanings and ways of understanding. We reflect upon the process by which we are currently working in collaboration with the teachers at MGHS to make the work of imaginative inquiry accessible to all students, and to provide resources to support the work of imaginative inquiry and aesthetic education in high schools.

  • East Harlem, Manhattan (September 2016)
    PLACE-BASED COMMUNITY BROWNFIELD PLANNING FOUNDATION REPORT ON EXISTING CONDITIONS EAST HARLEM, MANHATTAN FINAL SEPTEMBER 2016 BILL deBLASIO MAYOR DANIEL C. WALSH, Ph.D. DIRECTOR Mayor’s Office of Environmental Remediation This document was prepared by the New York City Department of City Planning for the New York City Mayor’s Office of Environmental Remediation and the New York State Department of State with state funds provided through the Brownfield Opportunity Areas Program. CONTENTS PURPOSE 4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 5 PART ONE Geography and Land Use 10 Demographic and Economic Profile 28 Recent Public Initiatives and Private Investments 35 PART TWO Environmental Conditions 41 Potential Strategic Sites 43 KEY FINDINGS AND NEXT STEPS 57 APPENDIX 58 PURPOSE This existing conditions foundation report was commissioned by the New York City Mayor’s Office of Environmental Remediation (OER) to help community members and community-based organizations (CBO’s) conduct place-based planning for revitalization of vacant and underutilized brownfield properties. Place- based planning by community groups is supported by OER under the NYC Place-Based Community Brownfield Planning Program and by the New York State Department of State in the Brownfield Opportunity Area Program. To advance implementation of plans, OER provides financial and technical assistance to CBO’s for cleanup and redevelopment of brownfield properties and seeks to help people foster greater health and well-being in their neighborhoods. Brownfields are vacant or underutilized properties where environmental pollution has deterred investment and redevelopment. Pollution introduces many risks to land development and often causes community and private developers to pass over these properties, especially in low-income neighborhoods where land values may be depressed and insufficient to cover added cleanup costs.

  • Urban Design and Visual Resources A. INTRODUCTION
    Chapter 8: Urban Design and Visual Resources A. INTRODUCTION This chapter considers the effects of the proposed project on urban design and visual resources. The proposed project would result in redevelopment of the Victoria Theater site, which includes a vacant State-owned theater that has been determined eligible for listing on the State and National Registers of Historic Places. The Victoria Theater comprises two buildings. The South Building fronts onto West 125th Street and contains the original entrance and lobby of the theater. The North Building is located on West 126th Street and contains the former auditorium and other accessory public spaces. The proposed project would retain, restore, and reuse the South Building as part of the proposed project and redevelop the site of the North Building with approximately 360,000 square feet (sf) of residential, hotel, retail, parking, and cultural uses in a new building. Under the CEQR Technical Manual, urban design is defined as the totality of components that may affect a pedestrian’s experience of public space. These components include streets, buildings, visual resources, open spaces, natural resources, and wind. An urban design assessment under CEQR must consider whether and how a project may change the experience of a pedestrian in a project area. The CEQR Technical Manual guidelines recommend the preparation of a preliminary assessment of urban design and visual resources, followed by a detailed analysis, if warranted based on the conclusions of the preliminary assessment. The analysis provided below addresses urban design characteristics and visual resources for existing conditions and the future without and with the proposed project.
