Hudson Park Library
Приєднався 1 лип 2022
Tucked away on one of the most beautiful streets in the city, Hudson Park has served Greenwich Village since 1906.
The building, designed by the architectural firm of Carrere and Hastings, was the 16th branch to be constructed with funds donated by Andrew Carnegie. The branch opened its doors to the community on January 24, 1906; in 1920, the building was extended eastward, allowing patrons to enter the library from the newly extended Seventh Avenue South. The poet Marianne Moore worked at Hudson Park as a library assistant from 1921-1925, contributing to the rich literary history of the neighborhood. Today Hudson Park Library, graced with large windows overlooking James J. Walker Park and St. Luke's Place, is a relaxing place to work, read, and study.
Since the Pandemic, the Hudson Park Library has developed online programs, workshops, and other cultural events that have been recorded and are now available on this channel.

Author Talk with Alvin Eng on the Memoir Our Laundry, Our Town
And this the shit they never wanted Africans to pick up on.
Wonderful presentation
This was pure joy to watch. Watching Le Clerq dance was a thrill. Thank you for this video.
I knew Ellen Marie was an incredible human being with an enormous gift to call attention to the absolutely necessary awareness for the public to come to a place where we can vote for change, and take action to bring about change for the good of humanity. When I read "What she left behind" I was immensely affected, but when I read "The lost girls of Willowbrook" it truly hit home as there was a cousin in my family who was born severely affected by cerebral palsy, retardation, and other afflictions due to lack of oxygen at birth. His family took care of him at home until his very last months of life never considering institutionalizing him though doctors advised it. Watching this video reaffirms to me the need for universal healthcare. On a footnote, Ellen Marie graciously agreed to be a guest at the book club I was in and she generously answered all questions that she had answers for regarding her knowledge from her research about Willowbrook and her knowing how Dr Bronson was the main reason Willowbrook was closed. There was also acknowledgement of Geraldo Rivera who filmed the atrocity view and publically aired his documentary expose film resulting the the awareness of how people are treated in institutions - focusing on Willowbrook. This along with this UA-cam presentation is a catalyst toward getting us to universal health care and treating all people, especially those with differences with dignity and respect. Thank you to Ellen Marie for bringing this forward and thank you Dr Bronson for being the caring doctor you are who continues to champion the cause for treating people with the dignity and hopefully the care the/we all deserve.
Wow thanks for the story of this courageous dancer and woman. I must read the book which I hope is still in circulation as a well as see the documentary. Thank you
When was her book published?
Very nice background information about the US American Fashion Creators and their fashion and models. I really enjoyed all the great pics and all the genuine informations that is connected with it. I am a great fan of Calvin Klein and the likes of. Simply can recommend this video creator. Bloss bless the good old times!
I took her ballet class at Dance Theater of Harlem in 1970, following the move from the converted garage located on St. Nicholas Avenue & 141st Street to the company's present location. There were maybe seven students in the class. The suggestions that Miss LeClercq gave us concerning the execution of steps were individual. For me, she always stressed the correct use of the foot when executing tendu, and the importance of a good 5th position. She would wheel herself over to where I stood at the barre, adjust the hem of her dress, and then demonstrate with her hands. I finally achieved a perfect 5th position while preparing to go to Japan to dance in 1982. The image of her demonstrating in that way, and her tone of voice, had stayed with me for those many years. What a delight it was, watching this video, learning more about her dancing career and what led to her teaching at DTH.
Niiiiiiiiiice!! This channel needs to look into *Promosm*!
