Jane Jacobs is very influential and demostrated democracy through activism. Studied her during my time as a human environment speicialist at Concordia University, Montreal.

[@mikewatson5281]

Human environment specialists? What did that degree cost?😂

[@joolsca]

Jane Jacobs moved to Toronto in the late 60s and chose to live out her life (D 2006) here. She was much beloved and respected here 🙂

[@Running4Daze]

Lady Liberty couldn’t be located in a better city. I really hate to sound partisan, but this episode really reinforces for me that you can not let conservative media define places like NYC. With its historical importance and impact, NYC will always be part of “real America” and an inseparable part of the American story.

[@freddieblue6351]

Part 2 please.., Edith Wharton, Suzanne Vega, Betty Smith, Laura Nyro..,,,all important NYC broads. Well done, this episode is awesome.

Oh my gosh, such an enjoyable essay.....I remember learning about Emma Lazarus in Sunday School! 🗽

Hey ,Tom! Happy 2023!

[@conniedelio]

Wonderful as always, Tom. Thee is some very sick irony in the fact that the NYU chemistry labs, with all their Bunsen burners, were in the Brown Building, back in the 1990s. They probably still are there. Happy and Healthy New Year!

[@bigbeefy1]

i appreciate these videos. I plan on moving to new york city in the future. I’d love to understand it’s history before going.

lol that's how ppl live in NYC, better to start gardening when we can't find cones to rearrange. Also when there are no roses to smell, we're glad for leaves as well, pretty much that's how we live lmao. I love the context, also the very good jokes lol

Erin Marie Olszewski NYC nurse whistleblower during Covid who made an exposa documentary over 1hr 10 mins long is the Number 1 Women of NYC possibly for decades.

[@Gl6619]

Could you at least make your conspiracy ramblings understandable by using proper English? You know who where the real heros during Covid? People who who actually in the trenches caring for the sick.. nurses working 12 hours shifts … someone making some documentary on their opinion isn’t a hero..regardless of how serious you think that pandemic was or was it created in a lab…people actually died so to me the people who were actually helping the legit sick people are the heros..not someone who was sitting on the sidelines and not doing anything other than coming up with some theory out of left field

Cool episode man. Thanks very much. Three key figures of NY history. Anyone that can go head to head with a monster like Robert Moses is ace in my book. Would be nice to know what figures have fought against redevelopment and gentrification in my old hometown of Brooklyn over the years.

[@PonderingDolphin]

Looking forward to this one ! Always important to celebrate all the accomplishments of women out there. Love to all, and a happy new year !

The history of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire is epic. True microcosm of labor oppression + a story of immigrants, mostly poor women's struggles in the early 20th century. Kinda shocking, but labor history of the era is pretty awful throughout.

I’m currently reading Robert Caro’s book on Robert Moses, “Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York.” Not a nice guy. He’s the type of guy Trump would emulate.

Denzel Washington did such an amazing job portraying Malcom X . Can hardly tell the difference between the film or true footage of Malcom X . Denzel nailed that role As Denzel is known to do 🎥 But that role in particular is phenomenal.

[@anitapatel3591]

You mean Francis Perkins ruled 😎 The first female cabinet secretary in US history. Billie Holiday iconic American jazz singer. Emma Lazerus writer of the poem The New Colossus. Poem is at the feet of The Statue of Liberty. Janes Jacobs also ruled by standing up to Robert Moses and his plans to turn NYC into a highway.
