Brownsville Primary Source Packet BROWNSVILLE PRIMARY SOURCE PACKET Student Name Brownsville Primary Source Packet INTRODUCTORY READING "American Revolution." Gale Encyclopedia of U.S. Economic History. Ed. Thomas Carson and Mary Bonk. Detroit: Gale, 1999. Student Resources in Adaptation Neighborhood in southeastern Brooklyn (2000 pop. 85,000) bounded to the north by Eastern Parkway, to the east by Van Sinderen Avenue, to the south by Linden Boulevard, and to the west by Rockaway Parkway. It is named for Charles S. Brown, who built 250 frame houses there after 1865. Development remained slow until 1887, when Aaron Kaplan purchased land, built tenements, and enticed Jewish garment markers to the area from the Lower East Side. Further settlement was spurred by the opening of the Fulton Street elevated railway in 1889. As the area became more accessible, two-family homes and small tenements with storefronts at street level replaced earlier houses, and by 1910, large multifamily buildings dominated. The area was largely Jewish, with sweatshops and pushcarts and few sewers or paved streets. Living conditions improved after 1920, as did rapid transit connections to Manhattan in 1922 from the New Lots branch of the Interborough Rapid Transit. The neighborhood prospered from the 1920s to the 1940s and was a center of labor radicalism: it elected socialists to the state assembly between 1915 and 1921 and a candidate of the American Labor Party in 1936. Margaret Sanger opened the first birth control clinic in the United States at 46 Amboy Street on 16 October 1916 (it was closed 9 days later by the vice squad). During these years the neighborhood inspired the most evocative accounts of the Jewish experience in New York City, including Henry Roth’s novel Call It Sleep (1934) and Alfred Kazin’s memoir A Walker in the City (1951). Some local residents who later became prominent include the composer Aaron Copland, the actor Danny Kaye, and the impresario Sol Hurok. Many of its residents moved to the suburbs after World War II. There followed a cycle of decay, abandonment, vandalism, and arson, which high-rise public housing projects built doing the 1950s and 1960s did little to alleviate. Later housing renewal efforts were more successful, notably those sponsored by the Council of East Brooklyn Churches to provide affordable one- family houses at Marcus Garvey Village and Nehemiah Housing. At the beginning of the 21st Century, Pitkin Avenue, the main commercial thoroughfare, was lined with small businesses, shoe and clothing outlets, and restaurants. Loew’s Pitkin Theater, a lavish movie theater built in 1930 by Thomas W. Lamb, remained at the corner of East New York Avenue and Pitkin Avenue as a retail store. The heavy-weight boxing champions Mike Tyson and Riddick Bowe both grew up in the neighborhood. Brownsville attracted many immigrants from the Caribbean during the 1980s, especially from Jamaica, Guyana and Haiti, Grenada, Barbados, and Trinidad and Tobago. In the early twenty- first century the population of Brownsville was largely African American, with smaller groups of Latinos and West Indians. The neighborhood remained mostly low-income with one of the highest densities of public housing projects in the city.

Brownsville Primary Source Packet Brownsville Primary Source Packet Brownsville Primary Source Packet Document 2A: “The Jews of Brooklyn.” Brooklyn Daily Eagle. 10 Jan 1909. Excerpt Aaron Kaplan succeeded in interesting some of his Manhattan friends in Brownsville lots. One of the first Jewish settlers is said to have been Elias Kaplan. He was a clothing contractor and ran a large shop in Manhattan. As the sweat-shop laws hampered his business, he came to Brownsville and established a shop on what is now Watkins street, between Belmont and Sutter avenues. Others followed his example, so that within a short time enough Jews came over to enable them to organize a religious society. This society met and prayed in Elias Kaplan’s shop. Slowly but surely the little community grew. Some came over to escape from the inconvenience of the sweat-shop laws, some to speculate in real estate, others for their health. The growth of Brownsville may be divided into two periods. The first extends from 1884 to 1902, in which time immigration was slow. The second period extends from 1902 to the present day. In this time thousands of Jews have poured into Brownsville from Manhattan and elsewhere. The opening of the Williamsburg Bridge and the persecution in Russia have stimulated this influx. Brownsville Primary Source Packet Document 2B: Israelowitz, Oscar. Synagogues of New York City. New York: Dover Publication, 1982. Ohav Sholom, 135 Thatford Avenue. Brownsville’s synagogue history began in 1889 when Congregation Ohav Sholom was organized in the Watkins Avenue tailor shop of Elias Kaplan. The 1906 Shtetl Revival structure, near Belmont Street, was the largest in Brownsville. The synagogue is no longer extant. Brownsville Primary Source Packet 1. According to Document 1B, who was one of the first Jewish settlers in Brownsville? What did he do for work? Why did he leave Manhattan? 2. What did Elias Kaplan’s shop turn into? Be specific. (Hint: Look at DOCUMENT 2A and 2B.) 3. Document 2A lists three reasons that the community grew. What are they? 4. What two things “stimulated the influx” of Jews to Brownsville after 1902? 5. Document 2B shows Brownsville synagogue Ohav Sholom. Describe the structure. Is it still there? Brownsville Primary Source Packet Document 3A: Brown Brothers.

Children outside of Brownsville Children's Library. ca. 1930. Brooklyn Public Library, Brooklyn Collection. Brownsville Primary Source Packet 1. The original Brownsville Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library opened in 1905. It was quickly seen that the library was not big enough to hold the growing community. Thus, in 1914, the Brownsville Branch on Stone Avenue (now Mother Gaston Blvd) was opened. It was the first library in the country to be dedicated to children and children’s books. Why do you think this was? 2. Look at Document 3a. It is a picture of the reading room. What do you notice about the way the library is laid out? How is it different from libraries today? 3. In Document 3b the children are waiting outside for the library to open. Have you ever waited in a long line for something? What was it and why? 4. Why do you think the Stone Avenue Branch was so popular? What does that tell you about the importance of reading in the early 1900s? Brownsville Primary Source Packet Document 4: “Clinic Opened Here For Birth Control; Challenges Police.” Brooklyn Daily Eagle. 22 Oct 1916. Brownsville Primary Source Packet 1. Margaret Sanger was a birth control advocate. Contraception, even passing out flyers and pamphlets about it, was illegal at this time. She opened her clinic to give women information about contraception. (Note: This clinic did not perform abortions.) Other than fliers, what other tactics did Margaret Sanger use to get her message across? 2. Where was Margaret Sanger’s clinic located? 3. Margaret Sanger’s clinic would be shut down nine days after it opened. When the clinic was raided by the police, did they find any pamphlets or fliers? Why do you think that was? 4. Brownsville, at this time, was very densely populated, primarily Jewish, and very poor. Why do you think Margaret Sanger decided to open her clinic in Brownsville? What evidence can you find in the article to support your claim? Brownsville Primary Source Packet Document 5: “New Theater in Brownsville Section of Boro.” Brooklyn Daily Eagle 24. Nov 1929. A notable addition to the Brownsville section of the boro is the new Lowe’s Pitkin Theater at Pitkin and Saratoga aves., opened last evening. The building is situated in the very heart of a thickly populated section and is in the busiest part of the shopping thoroughfare. In general design the theater is similar to the Kings Theater in Flatbush. It was designed by Thomas W. Lamb, architect, and contains the very latest equipment for the presentation of moving pictures and vaudeville acts. The architectural style is Spanish, which is carried out in its interior decoration. The capacity of the house is 3,500, and the cost of the entire enterprise, including the value of the land, is placed at $1,000,000. Brownsville Primary Source Packet 1. Who designed the Lowes Pitkin Theater? 2. Why do you think the builders decided to build it where they did? What does this tell you about how the economic status of the neighborhood changed? 3. What was the theater primarily used for? What was the capacity of the theater? 4. Is the Lowes Pitkin Theater building still at Pitkin and Saratoga Avenue? What is there today?

Transcript Blames Murder, Inc., on Brownsville Slums Better Housing Committee Speaker Warns Crime Will Flourish Until Area Is Improved “Slums in the Brownsville area will continue to spawn gangsterism and such combines as Murder, Inc., until these slums are wiped out and replaced by some form of public housing within easy reach of those in low-income brackets.” Milton J.

  • Planned Parenthood Center of Tucson (1950-1977) [1]
    Published on The Embryo Project Encyclopedia (https://embryo.asu.edu) Planned Parenthood Center of Tucson (1950-1977) [1] By: Nunez-Eddy, Claudia Keywords: Reproductive Health Arizona [2] Established in 1950, the Planned Parenthood Center of Tucson provided Arizona women with family planning [3] resources until 1977, when it expanded to locations outside of Tucson and became Planned Parenthood of Southern Arizona. The Planned Parenthood Center of Tucson was formed after the Clinica Para Madres, the first birth control [4] clinic in Arizona, merged with the national organization [5] Planned Parenthood Federation of America. The clinic moved to several rented locations throughout the Tucson area before establishing a permanent location named the Margaret Sanger Clinic in Tucson, Arizona. The Planned Parenthood Center of Tucson began as the Clinica Para Madres, the first birth control [4] clinic in Arizona established by birth control [4] activist Margaret Sanger and a group of prominent Tucson women. In the 1930s, following several years of birth control [4] activism in New York, Sanger moved to Arizona in an attempt to better her son's respiratory health. Once there, Sanger argued that contraception [6] and family planning [3] could help reduce Arizona's high rate of infant mortality. Sanger and other birth control [4] activists used the term family planning [3] to describe the practice of women planning when to have children, spacing apart their pregnancies. Sanger viewed the spacing of children, through contraception [6], as beneficial to women because it allowed them to have children when they were physically, emotionally, and financially prepared. Sanger and a group of women with social, political, and financial prominence in Tucson opened Clinica Para Madres in December 1934.

The Reproduction Of Citizenship: How The U.s. Government Shaped Citizenship During The 20th Century By Regulating Fertility, Procreation, And Birth Across Generations Abstract Who qualifies, with full status, as an American citizen? Like all modern nation-states, the United States erects and maintains various types of legal and geographic boundaries to demarcate citizens from noncitizens. The literature in political science tends to focus on the ways in which immigration law structures citizenship over time, but this is only half the story. As this dissertation demonstrates, governments also regulate the birth of citizens from one generation to the next. The concept of a ‘civic lineage regime’ is introduced as the domestic counterpart to the ‘immigration regime,’ when it comes to structuring civic membership in the United States (and other nations). To bring visibility to this deeply constitutive yet largely unexamined dimension of American political development, the project engages in a close analysis of U.S.

  • 17 WEST 16TH STREET HOUSE, Borough of Manhattan
    : . Landmarks Preservation Commission November 9, 1976, Number 1 LP-0939 17 WEST 16TH STREET HOUSE, Borough of Manhattan. Built c. 1846. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1818, Lot 25. On September 14, 1976, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the 17 West 16th Street House and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 3). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the »rovisions of law. There were no speakers for or against designation. The ovoer and Community Board 5 have expressed their approval of the designation • DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS • This handsome Greek Revival house, built about 1846 in the once fashionable Union Square neighborhood, is one of a row of nine townhouses, four of which survive. The houses were planned and probably built by Edward S. Mesier. No. 17 later housed the famed birth control clinic of Margaret Sanger, the pioneer of fAmily planning in this country. The site of No. 17 lies within the original boundaries of a farm which belonged to Simon Congo, a free blackman and property owner in 17th-century New York This parcel of property was later incorporated into the holdings of the highly esteemed landowner Henry Brevoort of the Bowery, a civic leader of New York in his day. The northernmost tract of the Brevoort farm was sold to Thomas and Samuel Burling in 1799 and soon thereafter a section of land (now roughly bounded by F fth and Sixth Avenues and West 16th and 17th Streets) was purchased by John Cowman from them.

  • Cultural Landmarks
    A Guide to Historic New York City Neighborhoods C U LT U R A L L ANDMARKS Citywide The Historic Districts Council is New York’s citywide advocate for historic buildings and neighborhoods. The Six to Celebrate program annually identifies six historic New York City neighborhoods that merit preservation as priorities for HDC’s advocacy and consultation over a yearlong period. The six, chosen from applications submitted by community organizations, are selected on the basis of the architectural and historic merit of the area, the level of threat to the neighborhood, the strength and willingness of the local advocates, and the potential for HDC’s preservation support to be meaningful. HDC works with these neighborhood partners to set and reach preservation goals through strategic planning, advocacy, outreach, programs and publicity. The core belief of the Historic Districts Council is that preservation and enhancement of New York City’s historic resources—its neighborhoods, buildings, parks and public spaces— are central to the continued success of the city. The Historic Districts Council works to ensure the preservation of these resources and uphold the New York City Landmarks Law and to further the preservation ethic. This mission is accomplished through ongoing programs of assistance to more than 500 community and neighborhood groups and through public-policy initiatives, publications, educational outreach and sponsorship of community events. The Six to Celebrate is generously supported by public funds from the New york City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
