The announcement pointed out that Green- Wood is the most extensive and intact land- scape created in alignment with the principles of Andrew Jackson Downing, the most promi- nent landscape architect of the American ante- bellum period. Green-Wood is the first still-operating cemetery in New York State to receive the federal land- mark designation. Founded in 1838, it has remained a popular tourist attraction since the 1850s, when it attracted 500,000 visitors per year. To qualify for historic landmark status, Green- Wood had to successfully complete a rigorous 18-month process that included submitting an application, preparing extensive supporting materials and testifying before the National Park Service. National Historic Landmarks can be actual sites where significant historical events occurred, places where prominent Americans worked or sites that represent the ideas that shaped our nation. ‹‹2 GREEN-WOOD VIEWS: A PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNAL ›› ›› [PHOTOS TOP & RIGHT: JEFF RICHMAN] ›› [PHOTO: AARON BRASHEAR] SUMMER & FALL IN GREEN-WOOD ›› [PHOTO: CHESTER BURGER] 3›› ›› [PHOTO: CHESTER BURGER] ›› [PHOTO: AARON BRASHEAR] ›› Are you an aspiring photographer or just someone who enjoys photographing Green-Wood?

Cemetery Historian Jeff Richman led two tours of the cemetery, answering questions and shar- ing the cemetery’s history with its guests. It was particularly gratifying that most of the visitors were discovering the wonders of Green-Wood Cemetery for the first time. Positive feedback abounded—it was hard to tell whether the audience or the cast was happier with the performance. On each tour, the crowds enthusiastically greeted the news of Green- Wood’s recent designation as a National Historic Landmark with rousing applause.

Washington, D.C. 20036 [TRANSCRIPT PREPARED FROM TAPE RECORDINGS.] 2 PANEL ONE: Moderator: RON HASKINS, Senior Fellow Economic Studies, Brookings Overview: DONALD HERNANDEZ, Professor of Sociology, University at Albany, SUNY MELVIN NEUFELD, Kansas State House of Representatives, Chairman, Kansas House Appropriations Committee RUSSELL PEARCE, Arizona State House of Representatives, Chairman, Arizona House Appropriations Committee FELIX ORTIZ, New York State Assembly 3 THIS IS AN UNCORRECTED TRANSCRIPT. P R O C E E D I N G S MR. HASKINS: Good morning. My name is Ron Haskins. I'm a senior fellow here at Brookings and also a senior consultant at the Annie Casey Foundation. I'd like to welcome you to today's session on children of immigrant families. The logic of the problem that we're dealing with here is straightforward enough, and I think it's pretty interesting for both people left and right of center. It turns out that we have a lot of children who live in immigrant families in the United States, and a large majority of them are already citizens, even if their parents are not. And again, a large majority of them will stay here for the rest of their life. So they are going to contribute greatly to the American economy for four or five decades, once they get to be 18 or 21, whatever the age might be.

  • Race, Migration, and Chinese and Irish Domestic Servants in the United States, 1850-1920
    An Intimate World: Race, Migration, and Chinese and Irish Domestic Servants in the United States, 1850-1920 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Andrew Theodore Urban IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Advised by Donna Gabaccia and Erika Lee June 2009 © Andrew Urban, 2009 Acknowledgements While I rarely discussed the specifics of my dissertation with my fellow graduate students and friends at the University of Minnesota – I talked about basically everything else with them. No question or topic was too large or small for conversations that often carried on into the wee hours of the morning. Caley Horan, Eric Richtmyer, Tim Smit, and Aaron Windel will undoubtedly be lifelong friends, mahjong and euchre partners, fantasy football opponents, kindred spirits at the CC Club and Mortimer’s, and so on. I am especially grateful for the hospitality that Eric and Tim (and Tank the cat) offered during the fall of 2008, as I moved back and forth between Syracuse and Minneapolis. Aaron and I had the fortune of living in New York City at the same time in our graduate careers, and I have fond memories of our walks around Stuyvesant Park in the East Village and Prospect Park in Brooklyn, and our time spent with the folks of Tuesday night. Although we did not solve all of the world’s problems, we certainly tried. Living in Brooklyn, I also had the opportunity to participate in the short-lived yet productive “Brooklyn Scholars of Domestic Service” (AKA the BSDS crew) reading group with Vanessa May and Lara Vapnek.
