Albright, who earned a degree from SIPA and a PhD from Colum- bia, is a professor, author, diplomat, and businesswoman who served as the United States’ secretary of state from January 1997 to January 2001. As the first female secretary of state, Albright became, at that time, the highest-ranking woman in the history of the U.S. government. From 1993 to 1997, Dr. Albright served as the U.S. permanent representative to the United Nations and was a member of the presi- dent’s cabinet. She is a professor in the practice of diplomacy at the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service; chair of Albright Stonebridge Group, a global strate- gy firm; and chair of Albright Capital Management, an investment advisory firm focused on emerging markets. She also chairs the National Democratic Institute, serves as the president of the Truman Scholarship Foundation and is honorary chair of the World Refugee & Migration Council. In 2012, she was chosen by Presi- dent Obama to receive the nation’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, in recognition of her contributions to international peace and democracy. Albright is a seven-time New York Times bestselling author. Her most recent book, Hell and Other Destinations, was published in April 2020. Her other books include her autobiography, Madam Secretary: A Memoir (2003); The Mighty and the Almighty: Reflections on America, God, and World Affairs (2006); Memo to the President: How We Can Restore America’s Reputation and Leadership (2008); Read My Pins: Stories from a Diplomat’s Jewel Box (2009); Prague Winter: A Personal Story of Remembrance and War, 1937-1948 (2012), and Fascism: A Warning (2018). 4 Graduation Address Eric Holder Former U.S. Attorney General Partner, Covington & Burling LLP Eric Holder served as attorney general of the United States from February 2009 to April 2015. The third longest serving attorney general in U.S. history and the first African American to hold that office, Holder is an internationally recognized leader across a broad range of regulatory enforcement, criminal justice, and national secu- rity issues. In 2014, Time magazine named Holder to its list of 100 Most Influential People, noting that he had “worked tirelessly to ensure equal justice.” Including his tenure as attorney general, Holder served in government for more than thirty years, having been appointed to various senior positions by Presidents Obama, Clinton and Reagan. Holder rejoined Covington & Burling after his six years of service as attorney general; he had previously been a partner at the firm from 2001 to 2009. He advises clients on complex investigations and litigation matters, including those that are international in scope and involve significant regulatory enforcement issues and substantial reputational concerns. Before becoming attorney general, Holder main- tained a wide-ranging investigations and litigation practice at Covington. Among numerous significant engagements, he led the firm’s representation of a major mul- tinational agricultural company in related civil, criminal, and investigative matters; acted as counsel to a special investigative committee of the board of directors of a Fortune 50 technology company; successfully tried a complex discrimination lawsuit on behalf of a leading financial services company; and represented several life sci- ences companies in litigation and investigations. Holder is a graduate of both Columbia College and Columbia Law School. 5 Order of Exercises Remarks Merit E.

Without their assistance and commitment this would not have been possible. Nicole Jordan, Executive Director Raul Espinal, Legislative Coordinator Nicole Weir, Legislative Intern Adrienne L. Johnson, Office of Assemblywoman Annette Robinson New York Red Book The 1977 Black and Puerto Rican Caucus Journal New York State Library Schomburg Research Center for Black Culture New York State Assembly Editorial Services Amsterdam News 2 DEDICATION: Dear Friends, It is with honor that I present to you this up-to-date chronicle of men and women of color who have served in the New York State Legislature. This book reflects the challenges that resolute men and women of color have addressed and the progress that we have helped New Yorkers achieve over the decades. Since this book was first published in 1977, new legislators of color have arrived in the Senate and Assembly to continue to change the color and improve the function of New York State government. In its 48 years of existence, I am proud to note that the Caucus has grown not only in size but in its diversity. Originally a group that primarily represented the Black population of New York City, the Caucus is now composed of members from across the State representing an even more diverse people.

RIOC was created by the New York State legislature, in 1984, to take responsibility, pursuant to a General Development Plan (GDP), for the development and operation of the 147 acres comprising the former Welfare Island, located in New York City's East River. RIOC assumed the role of the New York State Urban Development Corporation as lessee under a 99-year Master Lease (running until 2068) from the City of New York. The GDP, which has been amended from time to time, provides for the development of housing, shops and community facilities for a mixed income, handicap accessible, residential neighborhood. As an island community, Roosevelt Island requires specialized operations and capital infrastructure maintenance such as an aerial tramway, comprehensive garbage compacting system and seawall improvements. RIOC supplements the very basic services provided by the City of New York, and provides specialized operations and capital improvements.

    SeaAndBeScene BY STEPHANIE BEAUMONT 1 2 3 Nova Scotia stars in The Healer After countless stand-in roles for seaside states like Maine (Dolores Claiborne), Massachusetts (the Jesse Stone movies) and Washington (Christmas With Holly), Nova Scotia is finally taking the lead. “I immediately fell in love with the look and the feel of Nova Scotia, a perfect place for a magical, mystical tale,” says Paco Arango, writer/ director of The Healer which tells the story of a man who discovers he possesses the gift for healing people just as he arrives in the small town of Lunenburg, N.S. The Healer is a co-production with Academy Award-nominated 4 producer Enrique Posner and Michael Volpe of Halifax’s Topsail Productions (Trailer Park Boys, Mr. D). “We had an amazing team on this production, and we were thrilled to be up and running after a challenging start to 2015 for the Nova Scotia film industry,” Volpe shared. “The regulations for the province’s new Film Incentive Fund are now in place and people in the industry are actively engaged in trying to navigate the new system. We are cautiously optimistic about being able to continue to develop projects and to bring top-caliber filmmakers, like the international team on The Healer, to work in Nova Scotia.” The Healer stars Oliver Jackson-Cohen (Dracula), Camilla Luddington (Grey’s Anatomy), Jorge Garcia (Lost), Jonathan Pryce (Pirates of the 5 Caribbean) and Kaitlyn Bernard (Mom’s Day Away). 6 6 7 8 1.

  • New York City in the Era of John Lindsay
    “New York is the greatest city in the world. 45 Review Essay “New York is the greatest city in the world—and everything is wrong with it”: New York City in the Era of John Lindsay Sunny Stalter-Pace AMERICA’S MAYOR: John V. Lindsay and the Reinvention of New York. Edited by Sam Roberts. New York: Columbia University Press. 2010. STARRING NEW YORK: Filming the Grime and the Glamour of the Long 1970s. By Stanley Corkin. New York: Oxford University Press. 2011. SUMMER IN THE CITY: John Lindsay, New York, and the American Dream. Edited by Joseph P. Viteritti. Baltimore, MD: Johns Hopkins University Press. 2014. 0026-3079/2015/5402-049$2.50/0 American Studies, 54:2 (2015): 45-56 45 46 Sunny Stalter-Pace On January 25, 1965, the New York Herald Tribune featured a series titled “New York City in Crisis.” The opening article proclaimed: “New York is the greatest city in the world—and everything is wrong with it.”1 This lede yokes together exceptionalism and disaster; a pairing that has become increasingly more common in contemporary American political discourse. Crisis and excep- tionalism are two sides of the same coin, and they both shut down discussion about everyday economic and social structures. New York City had of course been in crisis before—Jacob Riis’s How the Other Half Lives was one of the most important texts from an earlier moment of financial inequality and urban renewal. Yet the Herald Tribune article makes its list of problems so exhaustive that it is difficult to see any reason for the continued belief in exceptionalism or any way to begin moving forward.
