"For every Jackie Robinson or Shirley Chisolm that New Yorkers can feel good about, there was a nefarious character like Richard Riker who dealt in infamy."
Funny story. We planned this to be a 20 minute chat but then we got talking . . . . I love it when a #podcast interview becomes a real conversation! Thank you Yeah-Uh-Huh for this great experience.

Been thinking a lot about "unbought and unbossed" NY Rep. Shirley Chisholm's 1972 Presidential run. Fun Fact: Chisholm was routinely asked whether she'd made breakfast for her husband Conrad. Can't wait to elect President Harris! #TeamKamalaHarris #ImWithHer #NamingGotham #history @history

Reminder on a day we might need some hope: NY Rep.. Adam Clayton Powell Jr. proposed barring federal funding for racially discriminatory projects. For years! He was laughed at, ignored, and once punched in the face. But, 60 years ago today, the Powell Amendment became Title VI of the Civil Rights Act! #NamingGotham #civilrights #justice

Been thinking alot about Reggie Jackson's devastating interview last week. He was a childhood hero (bought more than my share of Reggie bars . . . ) Made me want to revisit this podcast conversation I had last fall about Jackie Robinson and racism in the US. #podcast #NewYork #NYC #NamingGotham #baseball #racialjustice #history #MisterOctober @history https://www.battingthebreeze.com/beyond-the-baseball-color-line/

Had so much fun talking about NYC History that I forgot to take photos. Fortunately the kind folks at #RockHallMuseum took a few. Thanks to everyone who came out despite the time change and the rain to gossip with me. I love sharing Naming Gotham with fellow #historylovers.

164 years ago today, Lincoln gave his "RIGHT MAKES MIGHT" speech at Cooper Union. William Cullen Bryant published the speech on the front page of The Post. While in NYC, Lincoln stayed at The Astor Hotel. Read about Bryant, Cooper, and Astor in #NamingGotham.
p.s. While in NYC, Lincoln sat for this famous Matthew Brady Photo. Lincoln claimed that the NYC day (and Brady and Cooper) made him president. #history #NYC #newyork #Lincoln #historybuff #historymatters #book @histodons @history
