PBuffalo’s first black citizens lived alongside early settlers and largely resided in the Fourth Ward. Buffalo’s black population faced many adversities but experienced more freedom than many other parts of the country. New York State was one of the more liberal states and enacted policies, such as abolishing slavery in 1827. Still, life in Buffalo was far from perfect for black families in the 1800s. Due to its proximity to the Canadian border, Professor Wilbur H. Siebert’s underground railroad of WNY map Buffalo soon became a key part of the underground railroad: it was the last stop before reaching freedom. The city became known to conductors around the country as a network of “stations” were established.

  • Lessons from New York's Recent Experience with Capital Punishment
    BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR: LESSONS FROM NEW YORK’S RECENT EXPERIENCE WITH CAPITAL PUNISHMENT James R. Acker* INTRODUCTION On March 7, 1995, Governor George Pataki signed legislation authorizing the death penalty in New York for first-degree murder,1 representing the State’s first capital punishment law enacted in the post- Furman era.2 By taking this action the governor made good on a pledge that was central to his campaign to unseat Mario Cuomo, a three-term incumbent who, like his predecessor, Hugh Carey, had repeatedly vetoed legislative efforts to resuscitate New York’s death penalty after it had been declared unconstitutional.3 The promised law was greeted with enthusiasm. The audience at the new governor’s inauguration reserved its most spirited 4 ovation for Pataki’s reaffirmation of his support for capital punishment. * Distinguished Teaching Professor, School of Criminal Justice, University at Albany; Ph.D. 1987, University at Albany; J.D. 1976, Duke Law School; B.A. 1972, Indiana University. In the spirit of full disclosure, the author appeared as a witness at one of the public hearings (Jan. 25, 2005) sponsored by the Assembly Committees discussed in this Article. 1. Twelve categories of first-degree murder were made punishable by death under the 1995 legislation, and a thirteenth type (killing in furtherance of an act of terrorism) was added following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. N.Y. PENAL LAW § 125.27 (McKinney 2003). Also detailed were the procedures governing the prosecution’s filing of a notice of intent to seek the death penalty, N.Y.

My name is Karen Schimke and I’m the president of the Schuyler Center for Analysis and Advocacy and I want to welcome you to this event, “A Future for Working New Yorkers: Ideas for the Next Governor.” We are delaying just a little bit, or have been delaying just a little bit, to try to work out a little media issue. But I think we will go ahead and get started and hope that during the course of our time together, if there needs to be some movement or some plugging in or whatever, that it won’t be too disruptive. We’re really pleased to have such a good turnout for this event, and we’re especially pleased, considering where we are in the New York State budget process. It could have been an empty room, as many people had other commitments and other ideas about how they should spend their time, so we’re really delighted to have you all here.

King, Jr. Brown v. Board of Education 60th Anniversary Event Wednesday, May 14, 2014 Good afternoon and thank you all for being here. I want to especially thank the Rockefeller Institute for hosting us, Assemblyman Camara for his warm introduction, and Deputy Commissioner Sharon Cates-Williams for lending her beautiful voice to this event. I want to begin by asking a question. Why are we silent? Why are we silent when just 58 percent of African-American and Latino students graduate from high school compared to 86 percent of White students? Why are we silent when just 15 percent of African-American and Latino students graduate from high school in New York State ready to do college- level coursework compared to nearly 50 percent of White students? And why are we silent when a majority of students from wealthy families graduate from college, but less than 10 percent of students from poor families do? I want us all to ponder that question -- as we come together today to celebrate an idea that is at the center of everything that America stands for. It’s in our founding documents – it’s in our laws – and it’s in our hearts. This idea inspired Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth, Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks.
