Tag: NYC history
In this presentation, Julia, Janis and Eirini present on 2 LGBT history archiving efforts. The first is digitization of “Lesbian Nation,” a broadcast radio program from 1972-1974 created by Martha Shelley during the early years following the Stonewall Riots. The second is Gay Morning America, an morning TV program broadcast on public television during the early years of the AIDS epidemic. Both projects highlight challenges as well as opportunities to preserve and make accessible this broadcast content.
The quip “build it and they will come” has never been truer than in the case of bike lanes and bicyclists in NYC. In this presentation I will discuss NYC’s bicycling infrastructure spanning from the birth of the country’s first bike lane in 1894 Brooklyn to the post-Bloomberg infrastructure we enjoy today.
