But things have changed, don’t you agree? According to a recent survey, less than a third of Americans born after 1980 consider it essential to live in a democracy. Here at New-York Historical, our outlook is nonpartisan Buck Ennis, Crain’s New York Business and our audiences represent the entire political spectrum. But there is one thing we all agree on: living in a democracy is essential indeed. The exhibitions and public programs you find in the following pages bear witness to this view, speaking to the importance of our democratic principles and the American institutions that carry them out. A spectacular new exhibition on the history of women’s suffrage in our Joyce B. Cowin Women’s History Gallery this spring sheds new light on the movements that led to the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution 100 years ago; a major exhibition on Bill Graham, a refugee from Nazi Germany who brought us the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, and many other staples of rock & roll, stresses our proud democratic tradition of welcoming immigrants and refugees; and, as part of a unique New-York Historical–Asia Society collaboration during Asia Society’s inaugural Triennial, an exhibition of extraordinary works from both institutions will be accompanied by a new site-specific performance by drummer/composer Susie Ibarra in our Patricia D.

The ease with which the grocery supply chain can now be managed through software and mobile devices has driven an explosion of invest- ment in food and grocery e-commerce startups—close to $500 million in the past year. That’s helped spawn growth in the farm-to-table niche—and in its East Coast epicenter, Brooklyn. Competition has grown so intense among local-food delivery firms and entrenched players like FreshDirect that one Brooklyn startup, Farmigo, recently switched its focus from the boroughs to the suburbs. Experts say a historic shift in the formerly sleepy sector is taking place as a result of new technology meeting pent-up demand. “Distribution has always been the biggest problem for the local-food movement,” said Carlotta Mast, senior director of content at New Hope Natural Media, which covers the natural foods industry. The startups bring an Amazon.com-like user experience to the traditional farmers See FARM-TO-TABLE on Page 29 YES, HE DELIVERS: SALES$620B OF GROCERIES $56.9BSALES OF ORGANIC $486MAMOUNT VENTURE Benzi Ronen has nationwide in 2013 and natural foods CAPITALISTS invested in shifted Farmigo’s nationwide in 2013 grocery e-commerce focus to the suburbs, companies in the year though the company is ended March 31 headquartered in Brooklyn.

  • THE OCCUPATION of the AMERICAN MIND Israel’S Public Relations War in the U.S
    THE OCCUPATION OF THE AMERICAN MIND Israel’s Public Relations War in the U.S. [Transcript] Introduction Text on screen: “It doesn't matter if justice is on your side. You have to depict your position as just.” – Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel Narrator: On July 8, 2014, Israel launched a devastating military attack on the Gaza Strip. Over the course of 51 days, the Israeli military dropped nearly 20,000 tons of explosives on Gaza, a densely populated area the size of Philadelphia, killing over 2,000 Palestinians and wounding tens of thousands more. The overwhelming majority of these casualties were civilians. Television news montage: This strip of land is being bombarded from the air, sea, and land… Israel launched at least 160 strikes on the Gaza strip… And there’s one less hospital in Gaza now. Israel today flattened Wafa Hospital. Narrator: The sheer scale of the attacks sparked outrage and condemnation around the world. News anchor: Israel’s month-long pounding of Gaza shocked many people around the world. Mass demonstrations have been held in many of the world’s major cities. Narrator: But in the United States, the story was different. Polls showed the American people holding firm in their support for Israel. Anderson Cooper, CNN anchor: This is the latest CNN-ORC poll of Americans – shows 57% of those polled say Israel’s action in Gaza is justified, 34% say unjustified. Narrator: These numbers were striking, but they weren’t new. Over the course of a conflict in which Palestinian casualties have far outnumbered Israeli casualties, the American people have consistently shown far more sympathy for Israelis than for Palestinians.
