How the Architectural Walking Tour Built the Preservation Movement | Historian and journalist Francis Morrone discusses the history of the walking tour in a lecture given at the Brooklyn Historical Society on June 16, 2010. Francis Morrone is introduced by Tamara Coombs, Director of Tours & Programs at the Municipal Art Society. Learn how the first walking tours in the 1950s sponsored by The Municipal Art Society, the Museum of the City of New York and the Brooklyn Heights Association made the public aware of the city’s historic architecture, and how walking tours helped pave the way for the Landmarks Law of 1965. Mr. Morrone will discuss the European background of the New York walking tour, the pioneering uses of walking tours by architectural historians such as Henry Hope Reed, Clay Lancaster and Margot Gayle and Morrone’s own experiences as a leader of some 1,500 walking tours. http://www.brooklynhistory.org http://mas.org/ | 6/24/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

PUERTO RICAN ORAL HISTORY: Amna Ahmad | The Puerto Rican Oral History Project was the first oral history project undertaken by the Brooklyn Historical Society – the start of our oral history collection in 1973. BHS, along with John D. Vasquez, then Director of the Department of Puerto Rican Studies at New York City Community College initiated the project which received funding from the New York State Council on the Arts. 69 interviews were conducted between 1973-1975. Interviews were conducted in English and Spanish, recorded on cassette tape and also transcribed. Students from Professor Vasquez’s oral history class in 1975 conducted an additional 6 interviews for this project. The project focuses on people who migrated from Puerto Rico to Brooklyn between 1917 (when Puerto Rican people were extended US citizenship) and 1940. Narrators were born between 1890-1940 and seem to have been chosen because they were leaders in the Puerto Rican community in Brooklyn. http://brooklynhistory.org/library/wp/category/oral-history/ www.brooklynhistory.org | 4/19/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Oral History: Squatter and Radical Priest Frank Morales | This two-hour oral history interview with Frank Morales was conducted on July 17, 2009 by oral historian Amy Starecheski live over the radio (low-power FM and streaming online) at the University of Trash. The University of Trash was an art installation at the Sculpture Center in Queens which functioned as a collaborative, "temporary, makeshift university," offering classes and discussions on topics from concrete boat construction to building a radio station to situationism. Frank Morales, a radical Episcopalian priest who has been squatting in the South Bronx and on the Lower East Side since 1978, has recently been hired as the housing organizer for Picture the Homeless, a homeless-led grassroots group which has been developing a multi-pronged program of direct action to secure housing for homeless people, alongside groups like Miami's Take Back the Land. Through this connection and others, the knowledge of long-term squatters is being passed on to the people who need it in multiple ways. Oral history can be one small part of that, and this interview was done with the intent to contribute to that process, while reflecting on what the past means in the rapidly changing present. In it, Frank talks about growing up on the Lower East Side in the 1950s and 60s; his decision to become a priest, and liberation theology; opening his first abandoned building in the South Bronx; the politics and logistics of squat defense; the internal dynamics of squatted buildings; squatting and art; squatting as a long-term strategy to create "zones of resistance" in the city; and his ideas for the many newly abandoned condos in Brooklyn today . Frank is a gifted storyteller with insightful political analyses. The interview will be archived at the Tamiment Library and Robert F. Wagner Labor Archives at New York University, as part of the Squatters Rights Collection of artifacts and oral histories. http://brooklynhistory.org | 8/11/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
