Queens History Is America's HistoryFlushing Neighborhood / December 13, 2009. My compliments to the six cultural and historic sites that participated in the annual Historic Holiday House Tour. On a rainy, but unseasonably warm Sunday, I traipsed through the streets of Flushing with historian Jason Antos visiting some of the most interesting historic sites in Queens. Each of these sites entertained visitors in different ways, from traditional apple cider, to old fashioned holiday songs with piano accompaniment, to a five piece jazz band [see photo]. The historic sites were fascinating and included two houses associated with religious freedom in America; one house associated with a talented nineteenth century African American inventor who was involved with patents for the lightbulb and the telephone and whose parents were instrumental in galvanizing support for the freedom of slaves; a beautiful well preserved Victorian era home; one of Queens important cultural centers; and the home of the Queens Historical Society - sponsor of the event.

Waterpod: A Good Idea That FloatsFlushing / September 26, 2009. Today, amidst all the reasons for cynicism and despair, I found a refreshing glimmer of hope in, of all things, a waterpod. It's a waterpod that contains within it a couple of beings, which if properly funded could spread a good idea like appleseeds across the land, perhaps the globe, and enable all of us to help shape the future of the world in which we live. Mary Mattingly and Ian Daniel are modern day, Ghandi-like activistics. They have guided the good ship Waterpod into and out of eight different harbors along the New York City network of waterways, carrying with them an art performance eco-friendly message that makes a huge statement in very small ways ... but in every moment of each one of their days.

Kicking Back @ Satchmo'sThe Louis Armstrong House In CoronaCorona / July 19, 2009. I recently had the opportunity to visit the Louis Armstrong House in Corona as the guest of Deslyn Dyer the House Director. She put me on a house tour with Mackerrow Talcott who was well versed in the lives of the Armstrongs. The visit turned out to be much more than I had expected, as I came away feeling like I had kind taken the afternoon off to go hang out with Satchmo in his home. Visiting this house is not only a cultural journey into the King of Jazz's life, but a visit into the personal lives of Lucille and Louis Armstrong.

The Lewis Latimer House was once the home of an African American inventor who worked with Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison. While he has several patents to his name, his parents were instrumental in helping move the nation away from the institution of slavery. Hence, over time his home has grown to become a lens through which all Americans can look back into their past and see the influence of an African American family on the evolution of the national culture.

The Kingsland Homestead is a part of early American history. Today it is the home of the Queens Historical Society which sponsors a number of programs designed to continuously educate the public about Queens and the nation's past. Click here to learn a bit more about the Kingsland Homestead. |
