EARLY 20TH-CENTURY NEW YORK CITY:
Discovering a Unique Sense of Place
September 9–15, 2012
Historian Guide: Latifah Chinnery
The late 19th century saw New York City become the largest, most influential, ethnically diverse, and religiously varied American metropolis. Characters such as Washington Irving, Andrew Carnegie, and John Jacob Astor made their names in this place where cultures clashed and where political dreams were born. Despite blights on the city, such as the Five Points slum and the notorious Draft Riots, the city grew and prospered. The Roaring Twenties were years of glamour and wealth, highlighted by a construction boom of skyscrapers when their soaring heights seemed overly optimistic. Join New York historian guide Latifah Chinnery and be an eye witness to history from the ragtime era to the jazz age in Gotham.
