CBH Talk | Tommy Silk Discusses "Hidden Landmarks of NYC with Barry Bordelon of the Brownstone Boys
New York is a city of landmarks - more than 37,000 of them. Visitors and New Yorkers alike walk by hundreds of these landmarks daily, often never knowing the rich history behind them. One of these New Yorkers, Tommy Silk, has been photographing and chronicling one landmarked building every day for the last five years on his Instagram account, Landmarks of NY.
In his new book, Hidden Landmarks of New York, Silk spotlights 120 of the oldest, most unique, and often relatively unknown landmarks and the hidden history behind them. Join him in conversation with Barry Bordelon, half of the viral duo the Brownstone Boys, as they share their appreciation of the extraordinary buildings that make New York, New York.

Such a bold and insightful discussion! loved it!
I think Donald Trump is something completely unique. He's unlike Hitler and Stalin But also similar. But also similar. I think Donald Trump is uniquely an American problem
I think it would be foolish to think of Hitler as stupid. Here is a man who got millions and millions of Germans to believe a blatant lie About a tiny percentage of the population.
How can we protect women and blacks rights to vote and exist ?
Thanks for the talk. Masha Gessen is probably my favourite, still extant, intellectual, and I've just started to watch Prof. Synder's Making of Modern Ukraine course which is outstanding
23:06 Wait a minute. They had missles in the 1850s and we still don't have jet-packs?
I'm of the opinion that Trump is literally taking orders from and getting paid by Putin to work against US interests. I think if you start looking at his behavior and the trajectory of our politics that he's driven through that lens, everything starts to make much more sense.
There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.
I also strongly recommend Matthew Desmond's books "Evicted" and "Poverty by America".
Already the first part (first 80 pages) are so deep and intense. A VERY important work to understand the MAGA-folks.
I can’t lie, as a descendant of those American Slaves I am very uncomfortable with all of the laughing. Laughing is something that I do not here on talks of the Holocaust. I was informed by this talk but the laughing is just so triggering and troubling. I guess it is all perspective.🤷🏽♀️
We will win! Kamala for president!❤️🇺🇸👍🙏⭐️😃
WE ARE NOT ON THE BRINK OF ANYTHING. The same alteration to the Sub Saharan climate which promoted the growth of the desert is that which also reduces the cloud mass of the equitorial Atlantic. This affecting how much solar energy aka heat is absorbed and transported by ocean currents polewards. The same region of the Atlantic subject to the Sub Saharan dominent weather system, African Easterly Waves (AEWs), is from where hurricanes germinate. The trade winds and Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) ensures these African and Atlantic conditions carry westward into the Pacific and Indian Ocean arenas. So why did it all change? How can one event send ripples round the planet which can affect virtually everything? Look to Viste and Sorteberg 2013 - Moisture Import to the Ethiopian Highlands: there the keremt storms form, which evolve westwards into the massive AEW system. Yet humans have interfeared with one of the atmospheric rivere which create these atmospheric distrubences which form the first domino in a global chain reaction. The 4,000 m3/s of moisture evaporated from the pre 1900 July to October lower Nile flood is the missing link in this so called climate crisis........ just by replacing this one component we can reestablish the equitorial solar reflective cloud mass, which can allow us to not just to rebalence the planets solar heat budget, but that we can with relative ease control much of the global meteorological systems......... No tipping point - just plain and simple meteorology.
Thank you for posting this. Ordered her book...in transit, couldn't wait..😊
2024 and loving this conversation even more, so much appreciation for the writer, the producer, Hamilton and even Lin Manuel.
Has she openly identified herself or labeled herself as a feminist?
Arlie, how do you think about and partially understand Trump supporters who are successful in achieving the American Dream and live in a blue state?
Conservatism is inherently Liberal. Liberalism as we understand it, is reform of white conservatism. This is why, liberals are not applying double standards, only trying to soften the blow of those double standards to rescue the image of the broader Western hegemonic agenda.

Racist ideologues explain why it's whites who are the racists. Not them.
In response to the lady who brought up the point about Jamaican nurses, I wish to expound further to say that recruitment of Caribbean people has not always been for "professional" jobs. Recruitment has also been for "skilled" professions such as carpenters, marine engineers, bus drivers, farm labour. I wrote a thesis on Barbadian Migration to the Windwards during the 1900s to the 1950s and I spent quite a lot of time in the Barbados archives. I was very surprised by the number of official requests from the USA for skilled workers as well as professionals.
In response to the lady @54:05 I think part of the issue is that USA's census categories are flawed. This may be due to a lack of understanding what makes up a persons identity. Identity refers to 1. national (where u were born) 2. regional identity (the economic trading block) 3. ethnicity (African, Asian, European, Middle Eastern) 4. cultural (British influenced, French Influenced, Spanish influenced, Dutch Influenced), 5. religious (Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Rastafarian).
When we talk about Caribbean migration; looking at its trends and patterns, one of the major mistakes made is that "white" (and non-black) West Indians are often overlooked. The West Indies has always been a melange of different peoples; European ( British, Irish, Scotland, German, Austrian, Spanish), Asian (Indian, Chinese, Syrian) African. But often the focus is only on Black West Indian migration. If we look at white West Indians we have to consider the mass exit of whites immidiately after the end of the slave trade and then again after the end of slavery. Consider that Barbados was the only British colony to spawn another colony; the Carolinas. So that the first settlers into the Carolinas were mainly from Speightstown, Barbados and the surrounding areas. Consider as well that the founder of Austin, Texas is the descendant of the same Mr. Austin who founded Oistin's, Barbados (*irish people in Barbados had a difficulty pronouncing the name Austin and so that's why its Oistin's town) Non-black West Indians have always had the "privilege" of being able to be assimilated into white American society and so their prescence disappears into the fabric of "traditional" ie white American Society.
On the subject of use of the term West Indian, what was missing (but which the gentleman glanced over) is the historical use of the word. The British West India Company was set up by the British to run the affairs in the British owned territories of the Americas. As such the Anglophone Caribbean/British Caribbean is referred to as the West Indies. The people in the English speaking Caribbean refer to themselves as West Indians. Regarding a push to do away with the term, that is problematic because the term West Indies is part of our official address. for eg. I live in the parish of Christ Church, in the island of Barbados, in the West Indies. Especially when sending mail outside the Caribbean region the W.I. abbreviation is placed on the end. The use of the term West Indies, in my opinion, has morphed due to its use by persons in the USA. It is the USA using the term West Indies and West Indian to refer collectively to all persons from the Caribbean. This I think comes from their lack of knowledge and understanding of the history, culture and "language based" divides in the region. Nb. there are non English/non British territories considered West Indian. these include Haiti, Dominican Republic. This is due to their inclusion in CARICOM, the economic trading block in the Caribbean.
This was cool, the Audience was definitely on point with questions and input. The West Indies is the entire Western Hemisphere not just a some of "the India Islands" but all of them, The East Indies also has amazing parades on most of the islands in the Pacific Ocean throughout South East Asia, they are the Indians of the Eastern Hemisphere we are the Indians of the Western Hemisphere. (1:01:31) Exactly Indian and Chinese make melanated people who are not considered "African". Haitian without the (H) is (Atian) =Asian Bajan sounds like without the (B)Ajan=Asian Jam+aican -(ASIAN) (Khan) Me(Xi)Can =Xi= SHi =SHIA =ASIA (Khan) Amerukhan (Khan) AMERINDIAN= (DIA)=(SHIA) ASIAN HAB(SHI) =(Habe(sh)a) Aethio(p+ia) There thousands upon thousands of great tribes aceoss the entire world, there are over 1 million islands in this Asiatic world. Everyone is Asiatic/Indian, we are all known as Asiatic=Indian people Asiatic human race. So called Black Africans, African Americans, Indo Caribbean are all made up constructs, including (53:03) Latino's are in fact Italianos, white/tan complected Lebanese, white/tan Jewish, white/tan Europeans/white/tan that are all known as "CaucAsians" who migrated to South America in waves to colonize and assimilate in the the spanish Indian territory. --->Black refers to as Black Indian/Asian and Brown Indian/Asian. Haitians and all of the melanated Spanish countries were known as hispanics because they were known as part of the Habshi Dynasty/Moorish Empire moors/moreno/morena aka spanish indians who ruled Europe, Spain and Asia. "Indo" does not refer to the indigenous Melanated, Austral Melanesian, Aethiopic, Afro Asiatic, Indian/Indio/India, Mayan, Inca, only to those who are a derivative of the 9ether Asiatic Indian who produced the recessive 6ether through mutation. Indo-Mongoloids are a derivative of the Afro Melanated Asiatic and Mongoloid or Caucasoid mating which produces the mutation. Albinos are also a great topic to understand evolution and mutation. Evolution is constantly occurring at every moment in time on a daily because people mate and migrate and mate all across the entire world continuously and inevitably. Yes it is in fact that we are all variations of one another. It is all one territory called Ether which is home to the teraformers 9ether and 6ether Ether=EARTH(er/ling)=PanGEA=GIA which is "A=SIA" SHIA which is IN"G"IA which is INDIA etc. when we translate the etymology of the words , the sound=phonetics and the semantics linguistically. We have all been misguided by so called educators, clueless so called scholars, bias interpreters, folks who are well read on BS, cartographers and so called leaders who name places and rename places to create confusion overtime. Much is still yet to be uncovered and rediscovered. Thank you for reading!!! Much love to all.
Great talk. I hope to hear more.
"The state of your Democracy" is exactly what your "presidents made of it, the greatest fraud in human history. Used their historic barbaric nature to invade lands, divide people, heartless massacres and using the Roman Empire turned "Religion" to send their legionares called "Missionaries" to pounce on the ignorance of the natives. Now the produced unscrupulous know it's beneficial to remain ignorant and adore Saints and Virgins as atheatre that it's O.K to toss God aside for the bonanza that corruption provides. Just glorify "Democracy" even if it enslave your people.
Hillary was such a corrupt and horrible candidate. It is amazing that she came as cllose as she did to winning.
Liberal racists will not be ashamed to be racist if they want to use racism for their own ends, just like they are using wokeism in todays fashion
Afrikans have to get the language right. The “founding fathers”are as Attorney Alton Maddox referred to them the fleeing felons.
It's good to know there's people in every generation with an ethical sense willing to put in the effort to expose the machinations of madmen. I've never shopped Amazon and trying to avoid it, but I see the author's book on Amazon. How does that relationship work, it's kind of odd.
Racism will end when we stop talking about skin color as any more significant than eye or hair color. ANY man and woman who have a child - and raise that child - with decent moral values, with respect for others and their property, with an appreciation for education and how it prepares all of us to be productive citizens will have a GREAT LIFE in this country! Yes, there will always be a moron or two that hates blacks, hates whites, hates Asians, etc. etc. but there simply are NOT enough of these people to matter much IF the all-important "nurture" aspect the home environment is there. REGARDLESS of your color, there will be poverty, misery, crime, and more if your children are not guided properly as they grow-up.

I find that people on the right prop up Trump as a good businessman. They seem to overlook his noxious history in business and dealing with people in his business exploits and in his personal time. And they would never take the time as I am, to listen to experts in history. I know how uncomfortable I felt and continue to feel as I watch Trump and all that is going on yet as he attempts to once again become president. I want to learn more and it helps me understand better what I am seeing and how it validates my feelings. Thank you all for doing these speaking engagements.
I like the comparison of Trump to a noxious weed, it is so fitting.
Black resistance ?
It has!!! Try as he might, Donald Trump can't blur the hard reality he forced upon American women. He vowed in 2016 to get rid of Roe v. Wade and succeeded. As a result, American women lost a half-century right to end an unwanted or dangerous pregnancy. Who ever thought an American bleeding out from a disastrous pregnancy would have to be flown to safety in her own country? Politicians have no place in our reproductive health care decisions. None.
Why the whole world now? The US's loosening it's grip on world security? Or actual Armageddon, the forces of evil incarnate and those in immaterial planes, are emboldened because they know their days are numbered. Why now? Lucifer and Satan have gone to their second and final death in our lifetime. The seed of Satan are incarnate as humans. Some are liars, some are more murderers.

Steven Hahn is emphasizing an important point, Trump is only the tip of the iceberg, the roots of authoritarianism and fascism are really deep in American culture. Ruth Ben-Ghiat is a little optimistic. I think there is very little light in the tunnel, because billionaires, Christian organizations and Republicans own the big media, they even have thousands of judges in their pockets, and to top it all off, the Supreme Court is today a MAGA court.
