  • Voting Rights in New York City: 1982–2006
    VOTING RIGHTS IN NEW YORK CITY: 1982–2006 JUAN CARTAGENA* I. INTRODUCTION TO THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT At the time of the 1982 amendments to the Voting Rights Act (VRA) and the continuation of Section 5 coverage to three counties in New York City, the city was at a major crossroads regarding faithful compliance with the mandates of the Act. Just one year earlier in the largest city in the United States, the largest municipal election apparatus in the country was brought to a screeching halt when the federal courts enjoined the Septem- ber mayoral primaries—two days before Election Day—because the city failed to obtain preclearance of new (and discriminatory) city council lines and election district changes.1 The cost of closing down the election was enormous, and a lesson was painfully learned: minority voters knew how to get back to court, the courts would not stand by idly in the face of obvious Section 5 noncompliance and business-as-usual politics would no longer be the same. Weeks later, the Department of Justice (DOJ) would not only of- ficially deny preclearance to the city council plan, but would find that its egregious disregard of the burgeoning African-American and Latino voting strength in the city had a discriminatory purpose and a discriminatory ef- fect.2 In this context, the 1982 extension of Section 5 to parts of New York City should not have seemed so anomalous to a country that continued to * General Counsel, Community Service Society.

  • The Annenberg Center Presents Eddie Palmieri Afro-Caribbean Jazz Quartet, May 7
    NEW S FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 27, 2021 The Annenberg Center Presents Eddie Palmieri Afro-Caribbean Jazz Quartet, May 7 (Philadelphia – April 27, 2021) — The Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts presents legendary pianist and bandleader Eddie Palmieri and his Afro-Caribbean Jazz Quartet streamed live, on Friday, May 7 at 7 PM. Visit AnnenbergCenter.org for more information. Renowned NEA Jazz Master Eddie Palmieri is at the top of his game. A beloved patriarch of Latin jazz, he has amassed nine Grammy® Awards while remaining on the cutting edge of Afro-Caribbean music since the early 1960s. Known for his bold charisma and innovative drive, Palmieri returns to the Annenberg Center stage with Luques Curtis on bass, Louis Fouché on alto saxophone, and Camilo Molina on drums. ABOUT THE ARTISTS Eddie Palmieri (Leader/Piano) Known as one of the finest pianists of the past 60 years, Eddie Palmieri is a bandleader, arranger and composer of salsa and Latin jazz. His playing skillfully fuses the rhythm of his Puerto Rican heritage with the complexity of his jazz influences including Thelonious Monk, Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner and his older brother, Charlie Palmieri. Palmieri’s parents emigrated from Ponce, Puerto Rico to New York City in 1926. Born in Spanish Harlem and raised in the Bronx, Palmieri learned to play the piano at an early age and at 13, he joined his uncle’s orchestra playing timbales. His professional career as a pianist took off with various bands in the early 1950s including Eddie Forrester, Johnny Segui and the popular Tito Rodríguez Orchestra.

  • Testimony Delivered By: Deputy Brooklyn Borough President Diana
    Testimony Delivered by: Deputy Brooklyn Borough President Diana Reyna On behalf of: Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams Wednesday, March 7, 2016 Good morning. My name is Diana Reyna and I’m the Deputy Brooklyn Borough President, here to testify on behalf of Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams. Together, we represent the 2.6 million Brooklyn residents who call this great borough home. I want to thank the New York City Council for giving me the opportunity to provide comments at this public hearing on the East New York Community Plan. On December 30th of last year, Borough President Adams submitted a Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) recommendation to disapprove with conditions of an application submitted by the New York City Department of City Planning (DCP) to amend the zoning of approximately 200 blocks in the neighborhoods of Cypress Hills, East New York, and Ocean Hill. The response was issued following months of dialogue with local stakeholders and community activists, including a public hearing he held in the courtroom of Brooklyn Borough Hall on Monday, November 23rd. Borough President Adams has recommended a number of measures to ensure the proposal achieves a meaningful creation and preservation of affordable housing, including greater resources to combat resident displacement as well as increased efforts to build very-low and low-income units on previously unstudied lots. Additionally, his recommendations address the need to document the City’s commitment to the holistic community development outlined in their plan, including the establishment of a post-approval follow-up body with local representation. According to the recommendation report of the City Planning Commission, there has been much progress in the furthering of commitments associated with the overall plan.

    AMIGOS DEL SON CALI Audición Mayo 6 de 2011 “CORTIJO Y SU COMBO Y VIENTOS MOVIDOS PARA EL BAILADOR” RAFAEL CORTIJO Percusionista, Compositor y Director Fecha de nacimiento: 11 de diciembre de 1928 , Parada 21, Santurce, Puerto Rico Falleció el 3 de octubre de 1982 en Santurce, Puerto Rico En el diccionario de la música afroantillana, el nombre de Rafael Cortijo es sinónimo de leyenda. Una de sus figuras cumbres y más veneradas. Líder de una de las organizaciones rítmicas más admiradas durante la segunda mitad del Siglo 20: Cortijo y Su Combo. Maestro del tambor caribeño. Inspirador de dos generaciones de cultores de la rumba y de los puertorriqueñísimos ritmos de bomba y plena. Este personaje irrepetible, de origen muy humilde, era hijo de Juan Cortijo Clemente y Juana Verdejo, quienes también procrearon a Francisco, Cecilia, Rosa y Gilberto. Contaba 11 años cuando el trompetista Paulino Flores lo introdujo al fascinante universo de la música caribeña enseñándole lo elemental en la ejecución del bongó. En lo sucesivo, sin maestro, aprendió a ejecutar el timbal, las tumbadoras – o congas – y algunos acordes en la guitarra. A los 14 emprendió su carrera musical uniéndose, como bongosero, al Conjunto Hermanas Soustache (1943-1944). Posteriormente (1944-1947) figuró en el Conjunto Monterrey, de Monchito Muley y Juan Palm «Mentoquín». Durante el período 1947-1953 trabajó de manera alternada con las orquestas de Frank Madera, Armando Castro, Augusto Coén y Miguelito Miranda, así como con la Sonora Boricua de Daniel Santos y los conjuntos acompañantes de Bobby Capó, Myrta Silva, Ruth Fernández y Miguelito Valdés, culminando aquella etapa con el dirigido por el pianista Mario Román en La Riviera Night Club, en el Viejo San Juan.
