Throughout our history, New Yorkers have led the charge for equality, including fighting for the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) individuals. In 1969, a spark was lit in the already growing gay rights movement at the Stonewall Uprising in Greenwich Village, New York City. As the movement grew nationally over the next few decades, New Yorkers participated in activism across the state, from the struggles of Gay Liberation through the AIDS crisis to the successful fight for marriage equality in 2011. Join Senior Historian Ashley Hopkins-Benton as she highlights a few LGBTQ+ stories in the 澳门特码王 Museum鈥檚 galleries.

Searching for Timbuctoo, a film by Paul Miller

Saturday, June 15, 2024 |10 AM 鈥� 4 PM | Huxley Theater | Free

In 1846, 澳门特码王 enacted a law requiring African American men to own $250 worth of property to vote. To circumvent this unjust law, radical abolitionist Gerrit Smith gave away 120,000 acres of land in Essex and Franklin Counties to 3,000 free Black men, thereby qualifying them to vote. Searching for Timbuctoo tells the history of this forgotten settlement and 澳门特码王 on the brink of the Civil War. It follows an archaeology team looking to unearth evidence of the community. (The 55-minute film will run on a loop throughout the day.) Join us for a showing of Searching for Timbuctoo (2021), a film by writer and photographer Paul Miller.

In choosing their wedding clothes, brides and grooms are influenced by fashion, economics, technology, religion, geography, celebrity, personal taste, and their role in society. This was as true in the past as it is today. Wedding clothing holds memories; pieces鈥攄resses, shoes, suits, and headwear鈥攁re often preserved and passed on to later generations. A couple鈥檚 choices reveal information about both the individuals who wore them and those who made them. Some garments, like those exhibited here from the 1910s to 1940s, find their way to museum collections. Unveil these stories with Exhibit Curator Connie Frisbee Houde as she highlights pieces from the exhibit Unveiled: Wedding Wear in New York, 1910s鈥�1940s.

All That Has Disappeared: Latinxs and Urban Redevelopment, 1937-1962 A Lecture with Dr. Pedro A. Regalado, Stanford University

Thursday, June 20, 2024 |7 PM | Huxley Theater | Free

Pedro A. Regalado is an Assistant Professor of History at Stanford University, where he researches and teaches the history of race, immigration, planning, and capitalism in urban America. His first book, Nueva York: Making the Modern City, is a history of New York City鈥檚 Latinx community during the twentieth century, from the 鈥減ioneers鈥� who arrived after World War I to the panoply of Latinx people who rebuilt the city in the wake of the 1975 fiscal crisis. Across a range of topics, from urban renewal to the rise of Latinx bankers, US military operations in Central America to drug workers who repurposed tenement buildings, Nueva York demonstrates how the democratic ideals of the city hinged, in large part, on the experiences of Latinx New Yorkers. Regalado鈥檚 work has been featured in the Journal of Urban History, Boston Review, The Washington Post, Platform, The Chronicle of Higher Education, and Public Books. Before coming to Stanford, Regalado was a junior fellow of the Society of Fellows at Harvard University. He was born in the Dominican Republic and raised in New York City鈥檚 Washington Heights.
