    Where Stars are Born and Legends are Made™ The Apollo Theater Study Guide is published by the Education Program of the Apollo Theater in New York, NY | Volume 2, Issue 1, November 2010 If the Apollo Theater could talk, imagine the stories it could tell. It The has witnessed a lot of history, and seen a century’s worth of excitement. The theater itself has stood proudly on 125th Street since 1914, when it started life as a burlesque house for whites only, Hurtig & Seamon’s New Burlesque Theater. Dancers in skimpy costumes stripped down to flesh-colored leotards, and comics told bawdy jokes – that is, until then New York City Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia made the decision to close down burlesque houses all over the city. When the doors of the burlesque theaters were padlocked, the building was sold. By S ul the time it reopened in 1934, a new name proclaimed itself from the marquee: the 125th Street Apollo Theatre. From the start, the Apollo was beloved by Harlemites, and immediately of became an integral part of Harlem life. When the Apollo first opened, Harlem boasted a lot of theaters and clubs. But many didn’t admit black audiences. Though the musicians who played in the clubs were black, the audiences were often white; the country still had a lot to American learn about integration. But the Apollo didn’t play primarily to whites. As soon as it opened its doors, black residents of Harlem streamed in themselves to enjoy the show. In the early years, the Apollo presented acts in a revue format, with a variety of acts on each bill.

  • The Name Curriculum : Exploring Names, Naming, and Identity

Taswell Cross-Age: Early Childhood and Childhood General Education Mentor: Ellen Ferrin Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Science in Education Bank Street College of Education 2021 2 Abstract The act of naming, or using and respecting one’s name, is a humanizing act: it is foundational to one’s sense of identity and belonging. Conversely, the act of ‘de-naming,’ or changing, forgetting, or erasing one’s name, is an act of dehumanization: it denies one’s sense of identity and belonging. The Name Curriculum provides an opportunity for third grade students to explore the role of names and naming as they relate to one’s sense of self and community. It draws on the role of developmental psychology, the urgency of historical context, and the power of children’s literature. Specifically, it explores how language development informs a connection between one’s name and sense of self, how patterns within and across historical events exemplify connections between naming and oppression, and how children’s literature can provide accessible entry points for meaningful conversations about naming, identity, and belonging. Over the course of the year, students consider questions related to names, identity, oppression, power, and belonging.

  • 18 ======Some History of Central Park
    ===================================================================== RNA House History Club Session Seventeen March 4, 2018 ===================================================================== Some History of Central Park The story of Central Park is complex and stretches from 1850 to the present, over 160 years. Leading up to the decision to create a grand public park in the 1850s was the growth and expansion of NYC. In the first half the 19th Century, New York City's population grew from ninety thousand to half a million. Most of the over 500,000 New Yorkers lived south of 30th Street. Lower Manhattan was lively and noisy with some densely packed poor districts. There were a few public spaces like City Hall Park and Battery Park and some gated parks for the wealthy, but there was not much green space within the central city. While most New Yorkers lived in lower Manhattan, by 1850, over 20,000 New Yorkers some wealthy, some poorer, had moved to the outer districts, what are now the UWS, Central Park, the UES and Harlem. These districts were comprised of scattered mansions and estates and small, distinct villages, existing independently of each other and some farms. Even though a State commission had laid out a street grid plan for NYC in 1811, due to irregular landholdings and natural obstructions the grid plan did not have much effect in the outer districts until later in the 19th Century. NYC owned some of the land. Large plots were owned by wealthy families and some small plots were individually own. The extension of trade lines, the expansion of craft production into sweatshop manufacturing, and the organization of banks and insurance and railroad companies had transformed the port of New York into a national shipping, industrial, and financial center.

Residence elsewhere, as I made up my mind in early life, is mere eclipse and obscurity to those whose energy is capable of shining in Rome.” Marcus Tullius Cicero “New York City, the incomparable, the brilliant star city of cities, the forty-ninth state, a law unto itself, the Cyclopean Paradox, the inferno with no out-of-bounds, the supreme expression of both the miseries and the splendors of contemporary civilization, the Macedonia of the United States. It meets the most severe test that may be applied to the definit ion of a metropolis – it stays up all night. But also it becomes a small town when it rains.” John Gunther “If you live in New York, even if you’re Catholic, you’re Jewish.” Lenny Bruce “There is no question there is an unseen world; the question is, how far is it from midtown, and how late is it open?” Woody Allen “I am not afraid to admit that New York is the greatest city on the face of God’s earth. You only have to look at it from the air, from the river, from Father Duffy’s statue. New York is easily recognizable as the greatest city in the world, view it any way and every way – back, belly, and sides.” Brendan Behan “Is New York the most beautiful city in the world? It is not far from it.

This work builds on the initial research of Roy Rosenzweig and Elizabeth Blackmar in their book, The Park and the People (1992), as well as the ongoing work of the Institute for the Exploration of Seneca Village History (IESVH), a group of scholars and archaeologists who have been studying Seneca Village since the 1990s. While the Conservancy had been aware of Seneca Village since the 1990s and involved in various initiatives to share and research its history, a more focused effort on Seneca Village began in 2015, as part of planning to rebuild the two playgrounds located in the Seneca Village site.

    C H A P T E R N Y 249 East Houston St., New York, NY 10002 C H A P T E R N Y OVER NEARLY two decades of political organizing, archival research, writing, and art-making, Tourmaline has demonstrated that abolition, Black trans liberation, and abundant pleasure are interwoven, inseparable projects. In her first solo exhibition, “Pleasure Garden,” up through January 24 at Chapter NY’s Madison Street pop-up location, Tourmaline debuts a series of five photographic self-portraits alongside Salacia, a cinematic account of Mary Jones, a Black trans sex worker who lived in New York in the 1830s. The works weave together sites as varied as nineteenth-century Black-owned pleasure gardens, the free Black land-owning community of Seneca Village, outer space, and the Hudson River Piers, asserting that all these moments of “freedom dreaming” comingle in the present. The day before Christmas, we sat down over Zoom to discuss time-travel-y dreams, the Concord grapes you may not know are in your garden, and the future that’s already here. — Cyrus Simonoff CS: Rather than treating abolition as solely a process of negation—the elimination of police, prisons, the state—you offer abolition as a practice of creation, of life-making. How are you thinking, in your new work, about the relationship between abolition and pleasure? Tourmaline: In the Mississippi Freedom Schools of the ’60s, there were often three questions that were asked: What does the dominant culture have that we don’t want? What does the dominant culture have that we do want? What do we have already that we wanna make more of? So much of my work as an artist is about that third question.

  • Central Park Self Guided Tours
    Free Tours by Foot - Central Park Self Guided Tours We've developed this self-guided Central Park Tour as a tool to see what Central Park has to offer and how to go about seeing it. It's also a great companion to take along on one of our guided Central Park tours. Quick Park Stats Size: 843 acres Year Started: 1857 Officially Completed: 1873 The park was a massive undertaking. Over 1500 residents had to be cleared from the area, particularly in Seneca Village. Even just preparing the land for landscaping was a feat. The Manhattan schist that makes up the island had to blast apart in many areas using gunpowder. There was more gunpowder used in building Central Park than was used in the Battle of Gettysburg in the American Civil War. It was also determined that the soil in the area was not suitable for all of the planting that was planned. The topsoil was removed, and new soil was brought in from New Jersey. All in all, during the park’s construction, more than 10 million cartloads of rubble were carted out. Central Park was designed as an urban oasis to give New Yorkers an escape from the crowded city. The original design for New York, laid out by the City Commissioners in 1811 did not include a park. Between that time and the 1850’s, the city of New York quadrupled in size. As the city got more and more crowded, New Yorkers started seeking a respite. Landscaped cemeteries became a popular place to hang out because they were among the only public green spaces in the city.
