PROGRAMS & EXHIBITIONS Winter/Spring 2019

Dear Friends,

New-York Historical’s Winter/Spring 2019 roster of exhibitions and programs brings some of today’s most vexed discussions and debates—around the environment, the presidency, the Supreme Court, LGBTQ rights, race relations, and more—into enlightening and constructive dialogue with our nation’s history. Hudson Rising, on view in our Robert H. and Clarice Smith Gallery, explores two centuries of change along “the most interesting river in America.” Stonewall 50, presented in our Pam and Scott Schafler Gallery, commemorates the 50th anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall uprising with a focus on LGBTQ culture. Augusta Savage: Renaissance Woman, presented in our Luman Reed Galleries, showcases the work of an artist of the Harlem Renaissance who overcame poverty, racism, and sexual discrimination to become one of the nation’s most influential 20th-century artists. We are proud to feature Stonewall 50 and Augusta Savage as part of our ongoing examination of the history of civil rights in America, an initiative generously funded by the New York City Council as well as Empire State Development and the New York State Council on the Arts under Governor Andrew Cuomo’s Regional Economic Development Council Initiative.

This season’s Bernard and Irene Schwartz Distinguished Speakers Series will reflect many of the topics and themes raised by our exhibitions, with conversations between U.S. Senator Doug Jones and Eddie Glaude Jr. on Senator Jones’ prosecution of two former Ku Klux Klan members; legal scholars Kenji Yoshino and Linda Greenhouse on how LGBTQ rights have evolved in the 50 years since the Stonewall uprising; and New-York Historical Presidential historian Douglas Brinkley and author John A. Farrell on Mr. Farrell’s Barbara and David Zalaznick American History Book Prize-winning biography of Richard Nixon. This spring we are also thrilled to celebrate the Schwartz Series’ 15th anniversary with a special interview of Trustee Bernard L. Schwartz by David M. Rubenstein, moderator of our History with David M. Rubenstein series.

Other programs this season also bring history into productive dialogue with contemporary times. Our Mathew “Mike” Gladstein Lecture in Biography features Trustee Jon Meacham on the late President George H.W. Bush and other leaders who have inspired Americans in times of uncertainty; our Byron Wien Series on Financial History features a conversation between Trustees Byron Wien and James Grant on the “American Economy in the Age of Trump;” our President Bill Clinton Lecture features Lincoln scholar Harold Holzer on Lincoln’s continued importance today; our Ann and Andrew Tisch Supreme Court Lecture Cover and p. 27: features Laurence Tribe and Neal Katyal on the power of impeachment; and our Bonnie and Robert Havell Jr. Richard Reiss Lecture in Constitutional History and Law features a conversation on the First (1793–1878), View of Amendment with scholars Amy Adler, Nadine Strossen, and Trustee Akhil Reed Amar.
