I am particularly thrilled that the first of these discussions, Culture and Connection in Early New York, will be hosted on March 11th, at 2 P.M. in our very own 140 West 62nd Street, room G76. (Many thanks to our colleagues in Student Affairs for their help in securing this space!) After this initial discussion, the DFMA will continue this series of educational presentations across various institutions in Upper Manhattan and the Bronx. These presentations will be led by distinguished educators, artists, and historians and will cover a wide range of important topics, including the forced displacement of indigenous and enslaved people, Dutch colonization, and immigration. This is a cause especially important to the DFMA’s mission of social justice and community outreach, and is invaluable to the city of New York. Registration is not required for those who wish to attend in person — for those who are not local to the city or cannot physically attend, registration to the online broadcast can be found here.
