Anna Adler Carey King NEIGHBORHOOD LEADERS HIP 2016 Co ho r t Biographies Anna Adler Director of Programs and Operations, Fourth Arts Block Anna Adler is an artist, educator, and cultural worker with a focus on community engagement through the arts. Most recently, she served as Director of Programs at Fourth Arts Block (FABnyc), a neighborhood non-profit in the East Village, as well as adjunct faculty in the Dept. of Art & Art History, at Marymount Manhattan. Her past experience includes coordinator & curator of Peekskill Project, a citywide art festival organized by Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art, Peekskill, NY.

Anna is excited to join the CORO NL group as she continues to work with FABnyc on projects surrounding a new public art initiative in Campos Plaza (East Village) as well as Lower East Side History Month. Anna’s Neighborhood Change Project is to return to Clinton Street with an ‘open house/open street’ event where operating long term businesses are highlighted while vacant storefronts and spaces waiting to be rented are activated through artist interventions which can include visual art, poetry, dance, and film/projection. This action will allow occupied and empty spaces to coexist and create a lively atmosphere of celebrating the current commerce of Clinton Street while re-imagining potential new arrivals. Carey King Project Director, New Harlem East Merchants Association Carey King is Project Director of the New Harlem East Merchants Association (NHEMA), an organization founded by small business owners, property managers and residents who live and work along Harlem's historic East 125th Street. In spite of a number of challenges -- including being a hotspot for K2 (synthetic marijuana), homelessness, and a nearly 50 percent commercial vacancy rate -- NHEMA has worked in recent years to clean the streets, beautify the neighborhood, start a Fresh Food Box program, and launch a new public plaza called "Uptown Grand Central." Carey is a graduate of Harvard's Graduate School of Education and has worked variously as a special education pre-K teacher in Louisiana, a small-town journalist in North Carolina, and for both Corbin Hill Food Project and GrowNYC/Greenmarket Co. here in NYC. She loves Zumba and vegetables. Carey is excited to work on a Neighborhood Change Project that will enable NHEMA to structure its scope and vision for the next five years, including strengthening the merchant network, involving more area residents, developing an advocacy plan, and building a retail environment that grows and thrives despite big challenges. 1 NEIGHBORHOOD LEADERS HIP 2016 Co ho r t Biographies Christine Stilletti Program Manager, West Brighton LDC Christine Silletti joined West Brighton LDC as Program Manager in September 2015, after three years at Business Outreach Center Network in Brooklyn, helping small businesses recover and rebuild after Hurricane Sandy.

    BROOKLYN TRANSIT PRIMARY SOURCE PACKET Student Name 1 2 INTRODUCTORY READING "New York City Transit - History and Chronology." Mta.info. Metropolitan Transit Authority. Web. 28 Dec. 2015. Adaptation In the early stages of the development of public transportation systems in New York City, all operations were run by private companies. Abraham Brower established New York City's first public transportation route in 1827, a 12-seat stagecoach that ran along Broadway in Manhattan from the Battery to Bleecker Street. By 1831, Brower had added the omnibus to his fleet. The next year, John Mason organized the New York and Harlem Railroad, a street railway that used horse-drawn cars with metal wheels and ran on a metal track. By 1855, 593 omnibuses traveled on 27 Manhattan routes and horse-drawn cars ran on street railways on Third, Fourth, Sixth, and Eighth Avenues. Toward the end of the 19th century, electricity allowed for the development of electric trolley cars, which soon replaced horses. Trolley bus lines, also called trackless trolley coaches, used overhead lines for power. Staten Island was the first borough outside Manhattan to receive these electric trolley cars in the 1920s, and then finally Brooklyn joined the fun in 1930. By 1960, however, motor buses completely replaced New York City public transit trolley cars and trolley buses. The city's first regular elevated railway (el) service began on February 14, 1870. The El ran along Greenwich Street and Ninth Avenue in Manhattan. Elevated train service dominated rapid transit for the next few decades. On September 24, 1883, a Brooklyn Bridge cable-powered railway opened between Park Row in Manhattan and Sands Street in Brooklyn, carrying passengers over the bridge and back.

  • Civil Rights in Brooklyn Primary Source Packet
    CIVIL RIGHTS IN BROOKLYN PRIMARY SOURCE PACKET Student Name Civil Rights in Brooklyn Primary Source Packet INTRODUCTORY READING Murphy, Brendan. “Civil Rights Professional Development Packet for Teachers.” Brooklyn Collection, Brooklyn Public Library. The Civil Rights Movement in Brooklyn The Civil Rights Movement is typically associated with the Black Freedom Movement from the mid- 1950s through the 1960s. However, the movement started much earlier than that. In the early twentieth century, African Americans organized groups such as the Urban League and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Though these groups were incredibly important, it was the experiences of African American men and women during World War II that reshaped how they viewed their opportunities and rights. The Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and the Black Panthers were among the important civil rights organizations born from that experience. CORE played a major role in transforming what began as a movement for racial equality just in the military into a broader social movement for racial equality. CORE was a national, interracial organization with a commitment to nonviolent direct action, which became a major force in the struggle to end discrimination in the United States from 1942 through the 1960s. While the group raised awareness of civil rights campaigns in the south to end segregation, CORE also made clear that the problem of discrimination was equally a northern problem. Chapters of CORE were established in New York including: Bronx CORE, Harlem CORE, Lower East Side CORE, Queens CORE, and Brooklyn CORE. Ministers from black churches and local Brooklynites also joined the effort.
