Political Work: Time in Weather Underground, Part 3 Subject The topic of the resource Ross, Suzanne Description An account of the resource In this recording, part of a larger video memoir project, lifetime activist and educator Suzanne Ross speaks more about her time as part of the Weather Underground. From Suzanne: "I was glad to be in a structure of accountability and collectivity (despite the top-down leadership) in being underground with the WUO. It was different from being a supporter overground as there was more time for study and dialogue. The bombing actions, the core of what the WUO became infamous for, were the most exciting times. Our purpose seemed clear and our power heightened. The impact on the real world was palpable as the media covered these actions and people talked about them, the targets and the impact of the bombings. Though no major damage was inflicted on the enemy, the State, these actions were educational, the significance of the targets and the timing of these attacks. Perhaps most important, was the demonstration of the vulnerability of the State, with a group of young dissidents being able to penetrate the heart of the powerful institutions of the greatest Empire on earth. On the negative side, I found the relationship to Black and Puerto Rican organizations and key activists too indirect for me, unlike my previous daily work with Black, Puerto Rican and Vietnamese comrades. I was not able to discern what their strategies were from the indirect communications of those in the WUO who were engaged in these meetings. And structurally the overly centralized and commandist style of leadership led to stultification, lack of creativity, and errors. The breakup of the organization was upsetting and required reevaluation politically and personally. In the final analysis both the leadership and the general membership were responsible for many of the errors and had to evaluate their own and the organization’s incorrect choices."

HEALING FROM HATE SOUTHEAST ASIANS IN THE BRONX, FROM RESETTLEMENT THROUGH COVID BY CATHERINE KIEN 1. Introduction My mother came to the United States as a refugee when she was a teenager, and she and my grandmother settled in the north- west Bronx when they first arrived. Like other Vietnamese re- fugees who fled their homes due to the turmoil and violence of the wars in the region during the 1960s-1990s, my family experi- enced deep poverty and psychological trauma when they arrived in The Bronx. Although every day got casier, and my mother eventually acclimated to her new life, she still looks back on these moments as stressful and terrifying. The fear and trauma that Southeast Asians of The Bronx such as my mother experienced in carlier decades from war, genocide, and displacement resurfaced as they faced anti-Asian dis- crimination and harassment in the age of Covid-19. In addition to facing financial constraints and family losses, our commu- nities experienced incidents of harm tied to the scapegoating of China as the cause of the deadly virus! For Southeast Asians, these were painful reminders of past experiences of discri- mination, as Vietnamese and Cambodian resettlement in The Healing From Hate 1 Bronx during the 1980s and 1990s was distressing and painful* Refugees were resettled primarily in the most disinvested neigh- borhoods of The Bronx and were forced to contend with pover- ty, neighborhood violence, and even threats of deportation? Feeling unwelcome in their homes is thus not a novel experience for Southeast Asian refugees in The Bronx, and the hate crimes that targeted Asians in New York City during the Covid-i9 pandemic triggered traumas they had hoped to forget. In this article, relying on ecleven interviews I conducted with Vietnamese and Cambodian Bronxites in 2023, Iwill shed some light on the historical experiences of these often-invisible communities, from their time of resettlement in The Bronx through the Covid-19 era.* 1I. The Bronx: Southeast Asians New Home In the mid-twenticth century, Southeast Asia was in a state of disarray, as war and genocide tore apart entire states and families’ Beginning in the late 1970s, refugees from Vietnam, Cambodia, and other countries in the region were resettled in places like Australia, Canada, and France, and many who landed in the United States would call The Bronx their new home® Despite the U.S’s promises of security and prosperity, refugees were often met with disinvestment, violence, and consequently, retraumatization. During the core period of this resettlement in the 1980s, The Bronx experienced widespread displacement, severe poverty, and destructive “workfare” policies” In the years following resettlement, Southeast Asian organizers in our borough fought against such discriminatory welfare and housing policies and other acts that targeted their communities to bring dignity and justice to their families and future generations® Building off this earlier work, in 2012 Mckong NYC formed to serve the Vietnamese and Cambodian commu- 2 CATHERINE KIEN nities in The Bronx through movement-building, promoting arts and culture, and providing direct services.® These efforts have resulted in great strides for our community, as local activists fight for a safety net for Vietnamese and Cambodian families while resisting deportation efforts. Such struggles are ongoing, evolving to fit the needs of our community through changes and crises. Still, due to the lingering psychological and physical effects of war and genocide and ongoing cases of deportations, a great deal of trauma and fear persists among Southeast Asians in The Bronx.” Unfortunately, our commu- nities were retraumatized in 2020, as our borough, city, country, and world were hit by one of the worst health disasters in re- cent decades: the Covid-19 pandemic. II1. The Covid Nigltmare in The Bronx The beginning of 2020 was a period of uncertainty and fear as an unknown, deadly virus was spreading rapidly. Our commu- nities grieved as people suffered from the virus and died, with the CDC reporting 1,127,928 Covid-related deaths in the U.S. as of May 2023 and some of the highest infection and death rates in The Bronx." Southeast Asians in The Bronx often lost their jobs, belonged to welfare-dependent housecholds, or were essential workers forced to take huge daily risks. Many Vietnamese and Cambodian community members were retraumatized during this period as violent anti-Asian hate crimes saw a dramatic uptick throughout New York City* However, the targeting of Southeast Asians in The Bronx was largely ignored by the media, with Asian communities in boroughs like Queens and Manhattan receiving more coverage.® This speaks to the persistent invisibility of Vietnamese and Cambodian communities in The Bronx, going back to the Healing From Hate 3 period of resettlement.+ The next section of this article presents the main themes that emerged in the interviews I conducted with eleven Vietnamese and Cambodian adults—the harm expe- rienced during the pandemic and longer, more persistent struggles with threats of deportation and severe poverty, as well as hope and resilience through it al. IV. Southeast Asian Stovies Before presenting the main themes that emerged in these interviews, Iwill briefly discuss my methodology. With the help of Dr. Mark Naison from Fordham University, I created a series of questions that focused on interviewees’ experiences living in The Bronx, life during the pandemic, experiences of anti-Asian hate, and views on community safety.S Several participants were friends or acquaintances. With translation and recruitment help from Ny Nguyen from Mckong NYC, I interviewed the orga- nization’s staff and youth fellows as well as elder community members® All interviewees are assigned pseudonyms in this article to preserve their privacy. 1. Participants weve glad they could shave their stovies and struggles through this project. Interviewees were happy that they finally had a space to share their experiences and have their voices heard. This sentiment spoke volumes about the invisibility Vietnamese and Cam- bodian people from The Bronx have felt, not only during the pandemic, but also since the beginning of their families® resettlement to the borough. Tiffany Tran (30) expressed the importance of making sure Vietnamese and Cambodian voices were heard: “'m glad that you are carrying out a project that is 4 CATHERINE KIEN really relevant, and even though Covid scems to be getting better, we are still picking up the pieces.TM Similarly, Michelle Nguyen (19) hoped that social justice-oriented research con- cerning the pandemic and Southeast Asians would help neigh- bors understand them better.® Steve Nguyen (86) also thanked me at the end of our interview “for raising the problem regarding Asian hate.” He said he appreciated it because he is “old and concerned about [his] safety.” 2. Even though it’s not perfect, The Bronx is their home. Most participants shared that they viewed The Bronx as ge- nerally safe, and although it has its flaws, it was their home. Senior community members like Steve even preferred living in The Bronx to living in Vietnam: “I feel safe here in The Bronx compared to when I was in Vietnam. It’s so chaotic in Vietnam right now, too, because in that society, those who are poor [have little choice], and a lot of the time they make a living by stealing or things like that.”° Steve, who resettled in The Bronx in 1995 as a refugee, is alluding to income inequality in Vietnam, suggesting that life in the U.S. is more stable—even though his socioeconomic status and income are low. Respondents also shared that they sometimes felt isolated in their communities, being part of a minority group in their predominantly Black and Hispanic neighborhoods. Jackie Le (21) reflected on her time in the northwest Bronx with nuance and nostalgia: There weren’t a lot of Asians that lived in Kings- bridge—it was a heavily Dominican and Mexican co- mmunity. So there was a lot of teasing related to my race because there was not a lot of people that looked like me that much. Even though there were Healing From Hate 5 negatives . . . like bullying, there was a lot of beau- tiful stuff I loved, like learning about different cultures from my Dominican neighbor, who became my best friend.* 3. Every participant belonged to the working class, and the pandemic exacerbated their financial struggles. Despite the stereotype that Asians in the U.S. have prestigious, high-paying jobs, Southeast Asians have high poverty rates and are often reliant on welfare. The “model minority” is a racist myth that characterizes Asians as hardworking, quiet, intelli- gent, and wealthy. This stereotype makes the needs of Southeast Asian communities invisible, since our challenges and disparities become eclipsed by the perceived successes of our East Asian neighbors.>? Every person I interviewed belonged to a working- class family and faced considerable challenges because of their socioeconomic status. Southeast Asians are often food service workers, nail techni- cians, or factory workers. Michelle Nguyen discussed her family’s experiences with financial struggles, describing the challenges of trying to find stable work since her parents sold smoothies as street vendors. She shared that her family had to move to San Diego from The Bronx, because during the pandemic, “no one was out on the streets, and that was [their] income.” Unfortunately, there “was no other income [they] could rely on.”* Christopher Kim (19) also shared his family’s experiences of working to make ends meet: I live with eight other people in my apartment who are my extended family, and we rely on my dad and 6 CATHERINE KIEN uncle’s income. My dad works in a factory, and he makes about $35,000 a year. ... My mom does nails too, but even after Covid hit, nail salons were declining ... it>s not nearly as much money as it was pre-pandemic.2+ Living commonplace for Southeast Asians in The Bronx. Nuon, Bora, and Kenny Ahir all lived with their four other siblings and both parents in a small apartment in The Bronx before they moved upstate. Kenny reflected on how poorly many Vietnamese and Cambodian community members fared in The Bronx: When they got sick, they couldn’t quarantine because there was like no space [in their apartments]. We lost so many community members to Covid. They couldn’t even take care of themselves in those conditions, and a lot of them were so old. We lost a lot of their generation. ... It was really sad for all of us? 4. People often lump all Asian identities together when evaluating ouv community needs and cultural identities. Although we often share a physical resemblance to East Asians, the Southeast Asian experience in the U.S. is very distinct and unique, and participants communicated that our ethnic and national groups often fight for different causes. Nuon Ahir describes this idea effectively: East Asians fight for more media representation, while us Southeast Asians fight for more clemency and less poverty and deportation! ... How important is another Asian Disney princess when our people are getting deported after serving their time [over misdemeanors]?* with several family members in crowded apartments is Healing From Hate 7 Nuon’s frustration is the result of the overshadowing of Southeast Asian struggles, especially since our communities’ fights for justice can mean life or death. Our fight to keep our community members home and safe from deportation is especially important, since some people might require urgent medical attention that would not be available in their home countries, and others might belong to marginalized and persecuted ethnic or national groups. Bora describes a recent incident where aCambodian community member was deported: When [ ] was doing a sudden ICE check-in, that would be the last time his family saw him.>? [ICE] basically told him to lie to his family over the phone and say that he was fine and safe, but next thing you know .. they sent him back to Cambodia. It makes no sense. He came here when he was only 12, what is he gonna do in Cambodia? And now he is missing his [neuropsychology] appointment, which was literally scheduled for the day after they deported him. ICE and the police—they don’t care, they don’t care about our community, what we have to go through.2 Jackie highlights that our community needs more than surface- level representation by reflecting on her family’s financial hardships and experiences as working-class nail technicians: When I think of all the nail salons ’ve been to, a lot of them are owned by Vietnamese people. It’s crazy that they’re spending so much time in these small spaces inhaling these toxic fumes and we don’t even make that much [money]. .. There’s a lot of issues that we need to focus on, and ALL Asians need to be included in conversations of poverty and workers’ rights.>® 8 CATHERINE KIEN 5. Anti-Asian hate heavily impacted everyone, and the pandemic veminded them of past incidents of discrimination and violence. Participants talked about the pandemic as terrifying and shameful, and many experienced the anti-Asian hate stirred up by it firsthand. Some were reminded of past incidents of anti- Asian violence and harm, while others’ friends and families were directly impacted. Almost all participants shared an experience of being avoided in public spaces, which Tiffany describes: People look at me weird and sometimes don’t sit next to me on the train and they just keep away from me. . .People sometimes say racist jokes, like calling me “yellow” or “chinky eyes.” ... I did try to correct them and stand up for myself but at the same time I cannot do that forever® Our elder community members were unfortunately targeted as well, being harassed in their own Bronx neighborhoods. Chris- topher shared an incident that his mother experienced in 2021 Apparently, she was waiting for a bus, and this random dude came up to her and started screaming at her face, “This is your Chinese people’s fault!” and left, but who does that? . . . Shes such a small, defenseless woman who was alone. . . . It’s not just how they treat us that we were scared ofj it is also the fear of the potential of how much they can hurt us? When I asked Steve how he felt about this anti-Asian hate, his voice raised in frustration as he answered: 1 thought, “I should be careful and not go to the areas that were reported to have Asian hate crimes.” Healing From Hate 9 As far as I know, they usually attack the seniors, at least 50 years old. .. I think those people were out of their minds. I think it’s crazy how they attack people who are older or weaker than them. 'm 86, so I was scared, but at the same time I knew I should be cautious? For others, this period brought about traumatizing memories of childhood bullying and more recent incidents of harassment. Kenny shared that this period of hate reminded him of how he got into a lot of fights when he was younger because of his identity: I dropped out of high school because I got jumped in the staircase, and no one ever found out who it was. I got into a lot of fights because I was Asian. . People thought I knew martial arts, and I’d get my ass beat a couple times. In middle school and ele- mentary school, I got jumped in the backyard. Yeah, there was a lot of violence. Oh, and people used to call me “Jeremy Lin” when playing ball. I took that as a compliment, though.» Kenny grew up knowing that because of his marginalized racial identity, he would have to learn how to defend himself—a reality for a great deal of Southeast Asian boys. Women and girls, on the other hand, often contended with gender-based sexual harm, as seen through the experiences of Bora when she was younger: T was sexualized more than anything. It’s nasty, I was seen as “exotic” to them, just because I was Asian. People made disgusting comments about my body. I was uncomfortable going to night school because the night school coordinator would look at me weird. . It was so uncomfortable3+ Bora’s experiences are directly related to the objectification of Southeast Asian women, as their supposed exoticism is heavily 10 CATHERINE KIEN fetishized. To make matters worse, she indicates that these incidents often took place when she was still underage. 6. Southeast Asians stayed strong during the pandemic, defending and protecting ouvselves with the help of community support. Southeast Asians remained courageous and hopeful during the pandemic, an approach we learned from our persistent refugee parents and grandparents. Many shared how they were able to rely on community organizations like Meckong NYC for emo- tional, mental, and even financial support during the pandemic. Kenny described his limited knowledge and dedication to social justice for Southeast Asians prior to his involvement in Mekong, recounting that “things changed” for him after learning more about movement-building and organizing: When you get older, you think about your Asian identity and what that means to you. For me, it came through Mckong, and my parents always said it. . As you get older, you want to be more culturcd and connect to your roots .. .you want to keep tradition alive because you see how our older generation is dying and aging and we need to make sure our culture lives on® Bora added that some community organizations really “stepped it up” to support Southeast Asians during this time, sharing that Meckong supported several families with mutual aid and emergency funds when the pandemic began. She describes how thankful she was that Mekong stepped in and supported her family: It was so hard to find water and toilet paper, remember that? . . . Thankfully, Mckong started Healing From Hate 11 doing Covid emergency funds, so everyone had money to buy stuff for the house. We also bought groceries for community members, and we were able to take some home too, along with youth fellows and staff. I don’t know how we made it, but we did it These experiences were common among Southeast Asians who were burdened with financial hardships prior to the pandemic, but through community support, we were able to survive yet again. Participants stressed that in order for us to uplift our communities and prevent this type of widespread hate from happening again, we must educate one another, share resources, and understand attacks on other targeted groups as attacks on our own. To many, justice meant safety and a greater under- standing of one another’s struggles, especially during times of uncertainty and misunderstanding. V. Conclusion Throughout my research, I saw my community’s activism, courage, and love for one another. Hearing interviewees’ stories reinforced my knowledge about our struggles, but it also taught me how we uplift each other while supporting other groups who might come under attack next. Cambodians and Viet- namese Bronxites are actively working toward community hea- ling and maintaining the unwavering hope that got us through wars in Southeast Asia, Bronx disinvestment, and now, the Co- vid-19 pandemic. By becoming an organizer at Mekong NYC, I have also been able to learn and address more of the needs of our Southeast Asian community members through direct services and cam- paign organizing, advocating for them in local, state, and na- 12 CATHERINE KIEN tional spaces. Witnessing the strength and persistence of our Southeast Asian communities has been inspiring, and our vic- tories motivate me to continue building. Most importantly, I learned that it is essential to remember that we are not just tough and resilient: we are receptive, feeling, and hopeful, and we need time, and each other, to heal.

The first seismograph was installed in the base- ment of the Administration Building (now Cunniffe House) on the Rose Hill campus of Fordham University in 1910 by Father Edward D. Tivnan, SJ., Instructor of Chemistry and later Rector and President of the University. This project to establish seismic observatories at ten Jesuit colleges across the U.S. and Canada was spearheaded by Father Frederick L. Odenbach, S.J., Director of the Astronomical and Metrological Observatory at John Carroll University and a founding member of the Seismological Society of America. In 1920, Father Tivnan directed a young Jesuit, Father Joseph J. Lynch, SJ., to manage the Fordham Seismic Station. For the next so years, Father Lynch would supervise the growth of the Seismic Station into a world-class facility, routinely being the first to report major seismic events happening anywhere in the world to the City and beyond through the New York Times and other media outlets. Father Lynch and other researchers would frequently consult on a variety of topics of interest to New William Spain Seismic Observatory 17 York City, such as subway vibrations and earthquake planning, and of wider interest—using secismology, for instance, to locate possible tombs under the Basilica of St. Peter in Rome. A major upgrade occurred in 1924 with the construction of a dedicated building through the generous donation of William Spain in memory of his son William, a Fordham sophomore at the time of his death in 1922. At the opening ceremony, the new building was blessed by Bishop John Collins, SJ., and a bronze plaque of St. Emidio, the Patron Saint of Seismologists, was pre- sented as a personal gift from Pope Pius XI. Over the years, the William Spain Seismic Observatory would be moved across the Fordham campus twice to make way for new academic buil- dings before reaching its current location next to Freeman Hall in 1931. With the advent of the internet and massive computing power beginning in the 1970s, seismology gradually transitioned from the realm of individual seismic stations to big data. By com- bining data from hundreds of stations, it became possible to develop detailed images of the interior structure of the earth, much as a CAT scan produces detailed images of the human body. Thanks to a generous donation from an alumnus in 2001, the William Spain Seismic Observatory joined this trend, in- stalling its first digital seismometer capable of sending real-time data over the Internet to the USGS data repository in Boulder, Colorado, where it is combined with data from other stations to provide near real-time information on major seismic events from around the world. The archived data is also available to re- searchers from across the U.S., who use it to explore fascinating questions about the interior structure of the earth. The Fordham Observatory is amember of the regional Lamont Cooperative Seismic Network, consisting of 21 broadband 18 BENJAMIN CROCKER seismic stations in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Penn- sylvania, Delaware, and Maryland. Data from the local network has deepened our understanding of the structures and faults underlying the city and the region. The William Spain Seismic Observatory also houses a strong motion detector under a USGS program to assess carthquake risk remediation in large metro- politan centers. This ruggedized detector is designed to con- tinue taking data through a major seismic event in the city. Like the “black box” in an airplane, we hope it will never be used; however, data from such a device could be crucial in understanding and minimizing future risk from earthquakes.

Available on Amazon }ket — L THE HISTORY OF THE OYSTER CITY ISLAND AND THE EAST BRONX BY ROGER MCCORMACK The Billion Oyster Project is a nonprofit group focused on repairing marine biodiversity and the ecology of New York Harbor, whose goal is to revive the once flourishing oyster beds of New York Harbor by 2035 In its heyday, New York sold about half of the world’s oysters for consumption, and The Bronx loomed large in the bygone oyster trade as well, with City Island and the East Bronx tracts along the East River and Long Island Sound playing a fundamental role in the oyster- farming boom of the nineteenth century. The oyster is as American as apple pie and a true New York icon. Archaeological work in middens—archaeologically significant rubbish heaps—prove that the oyster was a critical component of the Native American diet, with indigenous peoples making spe- cial trips to City Island, Throggs Neck, and the Long Island Sound to fish. (A large oyster midden was once found near Wall Street, lending Pearl Street in lower Manhattan its name.) European colonization heralded a shift in the attitude toward the oyster. Still prized as a dietary staple, farmers and fisherman began to realize the vast profits the oyster trade offered, with City Island contributing to a major shift in oyster harvesting in the 1830s. History of the Oyster 21 The area adjoining City Island in the northeastern Bronx was renowned in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries for its fertile soil and abundant marine life. Situated along the Long Island Sound, the flat marshy soil of the East Bronx was ideal for farming, which explains why the area remained agricultural well into the nineteenth century. (The great Bronx historian John McNamara’s family had a bungalow in Throggs Neck, and he described seeing cows there still in the twentieth century,) The annexation by New York City in 1895 of the area from The Bronx River to the Long Island Sound brought in its wake urbanization and the end of The Bronx’s agricultural economy. City Island was settled by Europeans in the seventeenth century and exemplified the rich agricultural and maritime heritage of the area. Early efforts to turn the island into a port to rival New York Harbor were pioneered by Benjamin Palmer, who had pur- chased the island in 1761. These efforts were thwarted by the outbreak of the Revolutionary War. British troops soon occupied the island, hindering Palmer’s grand plans for the island’s development. Economic activity in eighteenth-century City Island consisted almost solely of farming and fishing. Opystering in the nineteenth century built on this nautical tra- dition while achieving a lucrativeness unknown to eighteenth- century fishermen and farmers. The evolution of the oyster mirrored population changes in the area: for the Lenape, the oyster was utilized as a food source and to make wampum—white shell beads used for a variety of culturally significant purposes—though the Lenape did trade in oysters with Dutch settlers. The Dutch and British used oysters for food as well as for lime in construction, emphasizing the wide range of the oyster’s use. When Henry Hudson sailed into 22 ROGER MCCORMACK New York Harbor and around the area of today’s Bronx in 1609, there were 220,000 acres of oyster beds below New York Harbor.! The enormous potential of the oyster beds was re- latively unexploited though, a fact that would change in the nineteenth century. City Island, The Bronx’s great maritime site, loomed large in this robust oyster trade. According to Barbara Dolensek of the City Island Maritime Museum, a City Island resident named Orrin Fordham pio- neered the practice of artificial oyster harvesting? This practice contrasted with the older one of raking oysters from the na- turally rich oyster beds of New York and entailed lining the water with shells that attracted baby oysters. Artificial oystering created an enormous increase in oyster propagation and turned the fledgling industry into a multi-million-dollar business by the mid-nineteenth century. The City Island Opyster Reef, a nonprofit group, notes: By the middle of the 19th century, thanks to this practice of “planting” oyster shells, massive oyster reefs dominated the waters in western Long Island Sound, where the edges of the marshes, buoys, and wharf pilings were covered with oyster larvae that had attached themselves to existing shells3 The vast profits brought contention, with oystermen raiding other oyster reefs and contributing to a rise in oyster “piracy” in Boos City Island—reminiscent of fishing boundary disputes between lobster fishermen in Maine and Canada today. Property disputes were common, as were midnight raids on a rival’s oyster beds, with many cases involving contesting appeals to ownership of oyster beds. The City Island Nautical Museum notes the prosperity the oyster brought to residents: “Oysters were the most popular seafood in the second half of the nine- teenth century, and nearly 100 City Island families carned a History of the Oyster 23 considerable living harvesting them.”* By the twentieth century, industrialization, pollution of water- ways, and the rise of ports, wharves, and a robust maritime in- dustry in New York City spelled the end of the once-lucrative oyster industry. Efforts at conservation during this time also largely failed—overfishing, pollution, and failures at the muni- cipal and borough level to dispose of waste properly doomed the once-prolific oyster. Raw sewage was dumped into water- ways like New York Harbor and The Bronx River by municipal authorities, often as late as the 1970s. Waterborne diseases like typhus were spread through oyster consumption from these po- lluted waterways. Most of the oyster beds in New York were closed by 1916, while the final beds lasted until 1927. The wealthy oystermen of City Island turned to shipbuilding, ma- king the island a major shipbuilding and yachting center in the twentieth centurys Today, the Billion Oyster Project is committed to repopulating New York’s waters with oysters, not for their commercial and gustatory value but to improve the ecological health and quality of waterways, as oysters are key components in water filtration, naturally making sediment and nitrogen less harmful to marine ecosystems. Oysters can filter up to so gallons of water per day, an extraordinarily effective natural tool for keeping waterways in New York and The Bronx healthy. Another benefit of oyster reefs in the age of rapid climate change is their ability to miti- gate storm surges and combat flooding. Groups like the non- profit City Island Oyster Reef assist the Billion Oyster Project in making oyster repopulation a reality, with work underway not only in New York Harbor but also in The Bronx, with the project centering around the Soundview Reefs at the end of The Bronx River. 24 ROGER MCCORMACK The Bronx River, the only fresh-water river in New York City, begins, ironically enough, at Valhalla—the Kensico Dam—and spans 23 miles to the Soundview section of The Bronx, where it flows into the East River. The history of the river highlights the same challenges that beset the oyster in The Bronx and New York City. Bucolic until the seventeenth and eighteenth cen- turies, The Bronx River was a vital resource for indigenous peoples of the area. In the nineteenth century, it became a site of pilgrimage for New Yorkers longing to escape the bustling metropolis of Manhattan, including Edgar Allan Poe during his time as a forlorn resident of Fordham village. Industry and manufacturing in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries con- tributed to the ecological devastation of the river. Snuff and grist mills, for example, were installed along The Bronx River in the 1800s, the most notable being the Lorillard snuff mill, which still stands in the New York Botanical Garden. By the middle of the twentieth century, large portions of The Bronx River were ecologically devastated, with severely decreased biodiversity and water flow. The resilient oyster, however, managed to survive through it all, albeit in a vastly reduced fashion. In the 1970s, oysters were occasionally found on car tires that had been thrown into The Bronx River, a sad symbol of the once prolific mollusk. Today, the Billion Oyster Project has built five acres of oyster reefs at the end of The Bronx River, working in tandem with community groups like The Bronx River Alliance and Rocking the Boat, which have focused their ecological efforts on re- storing the river, a hopeful sign for the future of the oyster and its positive ecological impact on The Bronx.® History of the Oyster 25 NOTES .Thomas Hynes, “Aw Shucks: The Tragic History of New York City Opysters,” Untapped New York, August 2022, https;//www.untappedcities.com /history-new-york-oysters/. 2.

By ROBERT R. GRIMES, S.J. It might be entirely coincidental that Fordham University’s first football team was formed in 1881, when the University was known as St. John’s College, and that in the same year, a new song was sung: “St. John’s Fordham, Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!” With original music composed by long-time professor of music at St. John’s, Felix Simon, and words written by a student, according to a report in the New York Herald, the song was sung “with a great deal of enthusiasm by the boys” during that year’s Commencement ceremonies.’ The event must have been tinged with melancholy for Simon, as he was retiring after 22 years on Rose Hill. He would also be departing from friends and colleagues of many years, Jesuit Brother Macé and Professor Urso—the quite amazing music faculty of St. John’s College at that time. Looking back, he must have had many memories through the years, some reaching back to his homeland in France. How close the Fordham connection was to France! The windows in the chapel were a gift from Louis Phillippe, King of the French. The Jesuits who moved into Fordham in 1846 were members of the Parisian Province of their Order. In the 1870s, they connected to the French-Canadian mission of the St. John’s College 27 Jesuits. Only in 1881 did they join with the entirely U.S-based Maryland Province. Brother Julius Macé was born in Nantes, France in 1822. He demonstrated musical talent from an early age and was sent to study at the Paris Conservatory where he attracted the attention of the great piano pedagogue Henri Bertini and befriended fellow student Louis Moreau Gottschalk. Well on his way to becoming a concert pianist, quite suddenly at age 24 he left the conservatory and entered the Jesuit novitiate as a brother. After a year, his religious superiors sent him to New York and St. John’s College, where he spent the rest of his life. Felix Simon was also born in Nantes, France, a dozen years before Macé. Simon attended the Paris Conservatory as well, starting in 1829, studying under the great violinist, Charles de Bériot. He returned to Nantes as chapel master at the cathedral, where it is likely he knew Macé. Simon was also concertmaster in the orchestra of the Théitre Graslin in Nantes. By 1852, Simon had arrived in the United States and appears to have taught music in Cincinnati, Ohio for most of that decade. By 1859, Simon was a professor of music at St. John’s College Fordham where he worked until 1882. Salvatore Urso was born in Sicily. By 1840, he was organist at PEglise Ste-Croix in Nantes and first flautist in that city’s Théatre Graslin, where he befriended Simon. Urso’s daughter, Camille, was attracted to the violin as a young girl, an instrument not considered “feminine” in the mid-nineteenth century, and Simon became the first violin teacher of a young woman who would soon become a world-famous virtuoso. In 1852, father and daughter traveled to the United States where Camille began a successful tour of the country along with the 28 ROBERT R. GRIMES, S.J. acclaimed soprano Henriette Sontag. Camille married in 1856, and Salvatore settled in New York City. Likely through his old friendship with Felix Simon, Urso began teaching at St. John’s College Fordham in 1867. All three of these tremendously ta- lented musicians focused on making music. Macé taught piano, Simon taught violin, piano, and singing, and Urso taught piano and flute. Macé also played the organ in the college chapel and the parish church. Simon directed the college choir and orchestra. Three stories about Brother Macé point to his prowess as a musician. When Macé attended a concert in the City by the fa- mous pianist and composer Gottschalk, the virtuoso was tipped off that Macé was in the audience. Gottschalk brought him on stage and had him perform for the amazed crowd. The second story concerns his narcolepsy, or “sleeping sickness.” A student was always beside him at the organ to ensure he was imme- diately awoken—and that he did not miss a beat. Third, when he died, found among his music was an autograph copy of a Beethoven piano sonata, inscribed to him by Bertini. The fate of that manuscript is unfortunately unknown. Camille Urso was not Felix Simon’s only pupil to become famous; he was Achille Rivarde’s first violin teacher before the young American went to France and took the Paris Conser- vatory by storm, winning first prize when he graduated at age 14. Rivarde later wrote to Simon: “Whatever success I have had in the past or may have in the future I owe principally to you, and believe me, I can never forget it.”> Another tribute to Simon was from Camille Urso, who included his composition “Un Reve (A Dream)” in her concerts throughout her career. In addition, Simon’s daughter, Henriette Corradi, was a noted soprano in both opera and concert, including appearances with St. John’s College 29 the New York Philharmonic. In an 1871 concert at Rose Hill, the three faculty members came together in the performance of an unnamed trio, presumably for piano, violin, and flute, which must have been a musical cevent. It was Italian opera that was the most popular music of the day, however. During Commencement of that year, Rossini’s “Overture to Semiramis” was performed (probably by piano four-hands with some additional instruments) and “Norma Cometh,” the Druid chorus from Act I of Bellini’s Norma, was sung by the college chorus, both conducted by Felix Simon. This was nothing new. An alumnus recalled that in the early 1850s, “it was not considered anything of a feat to prepare and give, on short notice, a chorus from the Italian opera.TM At Commencement of 1853, students performed the chorus “Belo si celebri” from Rossini’s opera Semiramide, a chorus in praise of the pagan god Baal. In 1859, the first year Macé and Simon worked together at St. John’s, the College Chorus sang the opening chorus from Auber’s Fra Diavolo: “As good soldiers, let’s drink full glasses,” a song that might not make it past Stu- dent Affairs censors today. At the 1861 Commencement cere- mony, as the Civil War unfolded, the chorus sang the finale to Rossini’s opera Mosé in Egitto under the title “Our Land is Free:” Our land is free, all nations see Her starry banners proudly rise; Loudly to God, to freedom’s God Triumphal praises sing; Waken to grateful song your voice, With joyous trumpets ring! As Professor Simon reached his 7oth birthday, a “testimonial concert” in his honor was arranged for the April 27, 1880 in Chickering Hall, one of the foremost concert halls in the country, seating 1500 people, and located on Fifth Avenue and 30 ROBERT R. GRIMES, S.J. Bth Street. Included among the performers was soprano Henriette Corradi, Simon’s daughter, his student violinist Achille Rivarde, and Felix Simon himself as conductor. —4f HRPECTFULLY INSEAIBEDTo *QOCKELNS,.J.

St.Johm’sCollege 31 According to the New York Herald, a “large number of the friends and old pupils of the venerated tutor” were expected.* Also, around 1880, modern-rules American football emerged in men’s colleges around the country, including St. John’s Ford- ham. Along with the new game came the need for cheers and songs, and Fordham was no exception. As Simon was preparing to retire, he gave one last gift to St. John’s Fordham: a song that could serve as both a fight song and an alma mater. Commence- ment on June 22, 1881 began with the overture from Verdi’s Nabucco but concluded with the “new college song, St. John’s College, Hurrah! Hurrah!” Cheerily lift we unto the sky, A strain that suits the parting day. Cheerily, tenderly, ere we hie To distant scenes away! Hurrah! Alma Mater, Bless her name, Hurrah! And be evergreen her fame, hurrah! While the cheer of her sons is heard with glee. St. John’s Fordham! Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! O’er the hill of Roses floating free! St. John’s Fordham! Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah¥ That same year the song was professionally published as sheet music with a cover that reproduced the well-known lithograph of the 1846 college campus drawn by William Rodrigue, a copy of which is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection. The song was dedicated to the college president, the Reverend E. William Gockeln, SJ. During Father Gockeln’s tenure as president, in addition to football being introduced and a song composed to cheer the students on, another innovation came to be. The school’s color was changed from magenta, a color now famous from computer printers, to maroon. Since the song was submitted for copyright, the Library of 32 ROBERT R. GRIMES, S.J.

We are here tonight to honor our beloved Bronx. There are a million Bronx stories, and tonight I would like to share one of them with you. Daniel and Margaret Houlihan are our great grandparents. Daniel Houlihan arrived in the U.S. in 1874 from his native Ireland. He was 15 years old. A similarly aged young woman named Margaret Lynch made the same trip right around the same time. They did not know each other even though their families lived within five miles of each other back home. They both lacked any advanced education and money, but they were both equipped with three integral traits: guts, ambition, and faith. Dan and Margaret both entered the US. via New York City. Daniel first went to Scranton, Pennsylvania because he had a relative there that offered to teach him the carpentry trade. Margaret was a domestic worker in the New Haven area but had relatives in Scranton, and that is how they met. They married in Scranton in 1884, and soon after, their first son, Joe, my grand- The Houlibans 35 father, was born. Around this time, Dan got word of a possible job in New York City. Their plan was for Dan to go to the city, get settled, and send for Margaret in 9o days. On the 88th day, Margaret received a telegram from Dan: “No job—stay in Above: Family patriarch Daniel Houlihan, who in 1801 founded Daniel J. Houlihan Corporation, now Houlihan-Parnes Realtors LLC, cour- tesy of the Houlihan family. 36 JOE HOULIHAN Scranton.” Margaret ignored the telegram and got on the train to New York City with her son Joe. Margaret had ambition in spades. Above: Map showing the stretch of East 199th Street between Bainbridge and Briggs Avenues in The Bronx where the Houlihans built their first apartment complex, a series of seven five-floor walk-up apartment buildings, the Mosholu Arms, courtesy of the Houlihan family. The Houlihans 37 The rest is history. The Houlihans got a job and a place to live at a resident hotel in Harlem at 300 East 123rd Street. The residents received meals with their rooms so there was always plenty of work to do. From there, they had additional children, but they started taking what they called “Sunday drives” along the newly planned subway lines in upper Manhattan and The Bronx. They desperately wanted to buy land, something they could not do back in Ireland because of their Catholic faith. They were ultimately able to buy some building lots and to then trade them for a profit. They went on to have twelve chil- dren, nine of whom lived to adulthood. There were six boys and three girls. They moved to the Bedford Park neighborhood in The Bronx and built a family homestead at 2867 Bainbridge Ave- nue. They became active members of St. Philip Neri parish, where there is a stained-glass window in the church in their memory that remains to this day. Most of the Houlihan men went to Manhattan Prep and Manhattan College. The Houlihan women were educated by the Ursuline sisters across the street from the home on Bain- bridge Avenue. In 1907, Joe, the oldest, graduated from Man- hattan College with a degree in civil engineering. The next year, the Houlihans filed plans with the City for an apartment com- plex called the Mosholu Arms. This was a somewhat daring plan because these were to be the first apartment buildings built north of Fordham Road. Much of the neighborhood was stil farmland. The Mosholu Arms are still standing today. They are comprised of seven five-story walk-up apartment buildings on the south side of East 199th Street from Bainbridge to Briggs Avenues. The buildings were known in the neighborhood as the Hou- 38 JOE HOULIHAN lihan flats. They were a big success and a feather in the Houlihan cap. Three sons joined their father in the business: Joe, Jim, and Dan. The Houlihans were responsible for the development of a significant portion of the Wakefield section of The Bronx. The Houlihan office was in a two-story commercial building that they built at the northeast corner of East 233rd Street and White Plains Road. The Houlihans went on to build several five-story apartment buildings on East 233rd and East 234th Streets. They also built several “taxpayers”—one-story retail buildings—as well as a movie theater on White Plains Road. In addition, they constructed several one-family homes in the Woodlawn neighborhood of The Bronx. In the mid-1g50s, our father Dan and our cousin Jim’s father J.G. joined the firm and became the third generation of Houlihans. When Dan and J.G. wanted to expand the business, they brought in a partner, Howard Parnes, who started with the Houlihans on St. Patrick’s Day 1967. Before Jim Jr.’s graduation from Fordham University in 1974, he joined Houlihan-Parnes and today is its Managing Partner. I think most are aware of Houlihan-Parnes and its place in New York as a highly successful, well-respected real estate firm. In the early 1980s, my brother Dan worked for a family friend, Jim O’Malley, who operated a real estate appraisal firm in Bronxville. Dan bought the practice from Mr. O’Malley in 1984 and offered me the opportunity to join him at Houlihan & O’Malley Real Estate. Over the years, our firm has evolved to include Commer- cial and Residential brokerage services, management, and pri- vate financing in addition to appraisal services. The Houlihans 39 Today, Dan and T are the owners of Houlihan & O’Malley Real Estate in Bronxville. Our sister Liz Genovese, her son Nick, and our brother Gerry Houlihan work with us. Jim Houlihan is the owner of Houlihan-Parnes Realtors in White Plains. Houlihan- Parnes is the successor entity of the original Danicl Houlihan Corporation, incorporated in 189r. Jim’s brother-in-law, Jim Coleman, has worked with Jim for over 40 years, and his daughter Kara recently joined the firm. Jerry (Jeremiah) Hou- lihan, our cousin, has also worked at Houlihan-Parnes for se- veral decades. Jim Houlihans son Bryan works at Houlihan- Parnes, and at different times, Jack Houlihan—Jim’s brother—as well as Christie and Kelly Houlihan and Meghan McEvoy, Jim’s children, have worked at Houlihan-Parnes. As you can see, the fifth generation has been well represented. Today, Houlihan-Parnes and Houlihan & O’Malley own some properties together, and we constantly confer with each other on the ever-changing real estate business. Our family has been able to give back to The Bronx by supporting with time and treasure several important Bronx institutions, including Manhattan College, Fordham University, Mount St. Ursula, Mount St. Michael, St. Catherine’s Academy, Calvary Hospital, and The Bronx County Historical Society. 40 JOE HOULIHAN PRACTICING URBAN PHOTOGRAPHY IN THE BRONX BY ROBERT KORNHABER For far too long my interest in photography had been dormant. But in 2015 I received an intriguing offer: serve as the staff photographer for a nonprofit heading to Ghana for a site visit. Although photography had long since moved into the digital age and I had not, I accepted the challenge. After lots of rea- ding, the purchase of a DSLR (digital single-lens reflex), camera and too little practice, off I went. To my great relief, all went well, and the photographs turned out to be a great success. Having accumulated a bit of confidence, I decided to address a longstanding chip on my shoulder: the way the media has traditionally either ignored or maligned my hometown, The Bronx. Consequently, for most outsiders, including many New Yorkers, their image of the borough has remained a black-and- white picture of burned-out buildings somewhere in the South Bronx, circa the 1970s. So why not spend some time photo- graphing The Bronx in all its glory? How long could it take> A lot longer than I expected. Practicing Urban Photography 41 1. Urban Photogvaphy, Then and Now Although urban photography has been with us since the camera’s inception—check out the work of Eugéne Atget in Paris or Berenice Abbott in New York City—by the 1920s, what we now refer to as street photography was coming into its own. Unlike urban photography, where the emphasis is on the various structures—manmade and natural—that make up our cities, street photography is primarily interested in candid shots of unsuspecting pedestrians. Led by French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson and Hungarian-born photographer Brassai this approach quickly grew in popularity. Today, street photography as well as the ever-popular landscape photography dominate the field and are pervasive on the internet. But when it comes to urban photography, there is a dearth of interest. So much so that “urban” is not even among the 80 topics listed by fstoppers.com, a prominent photography website. As a result of these trends, the neighborhoods where the majority of New Yorkers reside are rarely the focus of attention for professional photographers, book publishers, or the media in general. Along with this disinterest in urban photography comes a shortage of useful advice for navigating New York streets in pursuit of great photos. And there is a lot to learn. So, to get you started and not to dampen anyone’s enthusiasm, there won’t be an overload of technical shop talk in this article. Instead, the emphasis on practical advice will get you out the door and documenting urban neighborhoods sooner than later. 42 ROBERT KORNHABER 1I1. Getting the Gear To begin with, you should have a camera, such as a DSLR or one of the newer mirrorless cameras, that accepts various size lenses (or at least has a zoom lens). Otherwise, you will quickly notice that you are either too close or too far from almost everything you’re trying to shoot. And if you do go with a DSLR (they’re a little large), do consider a second smaller and less expensive compact camera—or smart phone if you must—as a backup. Despite the fact that everyone can and does use their phone for picture-taking, a more professional-looking camera can sometimes raise suspicions of security personnel. A more modest camera will often be overlooked, and their smaller lens is useful for shooting through those chain link fences that the City has been putting on bridges and overpasses. In addition, please keep your gear in a no-frills backpack until needed. It will probably be ignored. And don’t walk around with a camera bag. 1t’s a red flag for everyone. II1. Finding Great Destinations Although you can always Google places to shoot, there are some great books that will quickly enlighten you as your quest begins. For an overview of all five boroughs, my favorite book, and the first one I encountered, is Kevin Walsh, Forgotten New York: Views of a Lost Metropolis(New York: HarperCollins, 2006). Along with his ongoing website, Walsh’s book catalogues many of the historic sights, impressive buildings, and little-known monu- ments in the city. Less chatty but more encyclopedic is Norval White, Elliot Willensky, and Fran Leadon, AIA Guide to New York City, sth edition (New York: Oxford University Press, 2010), a block-by-block compendium of architectural structures in the Practicing Urban Photography 43 Top: Loew’s Paradise Theatre, at the time functioning as the World Changers Church-New York, located at 2403 Grand Concourse in The Bronx, courtesy of the author.

Practicing Urban Photography 45 Big Apple. And if you’re heading to The Bronx make sure you pick up Lloyd Ultan and Shelley Olson, The Bronx: The Ultimate Guide to New York City’s Beautiful Borough (New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers University Press, 2015), a unique and detailed guide to the borough. If that’s not enough, you can also find out about New York’s 42 islands—Sharon Seitz and Stuart Miller, The Other Islands of New York City(Woodstock, VT: Countryman Press, 2011)—or discover the little-known waterways around the city in Sergey Kadinsky, Hidden Waters of New York City: A History and Guide to 101 Forgotten Lakes, Ponds, Creeks, and Streams in the Five Boroughs (New York: Countryman Press, 2016). And for nature lovers, pick up Edward Barnard, New York City Trees: A Field Guide for the Metropolitan Area (New York: Columbia University Press, 2002); or Leslic Day, Field Guide to the Street Trees of New York City (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 201). Next, if you have a passion for subway stations and their art, you can satisfy it by getting Oscar Israclowitz, Secrets of the New York City Subways (Brooklyn: Israclowitz Publishing, 2016). (And when you visit elevated stations, remember that many offer a panoramic view of the surrounding neighborhood.) Finally, don’t forget that the city still has daily and weekly newspapers— print and/or online—that give attention to the outer boroughs. For detailed news about The Bronx, I turn to the online edition of the Bronx Times. Not enough? Let me assure you that traveling around the city will help you discover even more. And to maintain your perspective, add a street map to your shopping list. If you’re embarrassed, keep it in your new backpack. 46 ROBERT KORNHABER IV. Welcome to Urban Photography 101 Since creating urban photographs that are both interesting and attractive can be challenging, here are strategies to help you achieve that goal. 1. True Confessions Although taking pictures can be very rewarding, there is another reality that cannot be ignored: rightly or wrongly, urban areas like The Bronx are often associated with an element of danger and crime. (What the media hasn’t drilled into you, your imagination can sometimes supplement.) And while everyone needs to assess their safety concerns and use their best judgement, the word “uneventful” best describes my experience photographing The Bronx over the last ten years. So, despite carrying an expensive camera and going almost everywhere, I generally got ignored, exactly what any photographer would want. 2. Finding Sunshine If you want upbeat pictures, there is nothing like a sunny day. But in crowded urban areas, taking sun-filled photos free of excessive shadows is not always casy. Unless you’re shooting in open spaces like parks and beaches, getting those shots can be a challenge. Fortunately, it’s achievable if you have a street map, not forgetting that the sun moves from east to west and following some simple rules. As history and street maps make clear, in 1811, New York adopted Practicing Urban Photography 47 a street grid design that required Manhattan avenues to run north-south and streets to run east-west, more or less. (And The Bronx mostly followed suit.) As a result, in both boroughs, from late Spring to early Fall, streets on the west side, and facing east, are bathed with sun until early afternoon. And after about 2rm, it’s the east side’s turn to brighten up. Even better, streets on the north side, and facing south, get sunshine most of the day. And although the south side, which faces north, sees little direct sun most of the time, in much of June and July, from midmorning to early afternoon sunshine makes an appearance on these streets. (Unfortunately, the street design in the other outer boroughs varies greatly from the 1811 plan.) Of course, any discussion of sunshine is incomplete if photo- graphy’s most revered time of day, the golden hour, is not mentioned. For the uninitiated, that’s the brief period after sunrise or before sunset when the sun is low on the horizon and photographers can catch a softer and warmer light for their photos. While very useful in landscape photography, tall urban buildings often block the sun at these times and keep many lo- cations in shadow. So, to get shots in these places, you may need to rely on a midday sun. While offering a harsher light, your pictures will be free of excessive shadows. It’s a tradeoff. 3. Coping with Vehicles Let’s face it: a lineup of parked vehicles will do nothing for your photos. Of course, to keep cars and trucks out of your shot, a nearby hydrant, a lengthy bus stop, or a “No Standing” or “No Parking” sign would be helpful. But all of these are a roll of the dice. Fortunately, what car owners hate, you can now appreciate: street cleaning regulations, or alternate side parking. Since most 48 ROBERT KORNHABER residential streets need to be cleared of cars once or twice per week, typically for 9o minutes, that gives you more than enough time and space to get off some shots without parked vehicles to work around. When photographing on metered streets, here’s another stra- tegy: try to get there before the meters start getting fed, usually between 8AM and 9aM. Since parking is often not permitted for 30 or 60 minutes before then, there will be an opportunity for unobstructed photos. And finally, the website nycdotsigns.net can help you sort out all the parking rules ahead of your arrival. (Needless to say, most of the rules go by the wayside on Sunday and holidays.) Regrettably, when shooting from a distance, traffic can also be a challenge and interfere with that great shot. The solution is obvious: patiently waiting for those inevitable breaks in the congestion. When that moment arrives, start taking lots of pic- tures. For this, a camera with a continuous shooting mode will come in handy. And lastly, don’t forget that sometimes the hubbub of the city can actually work to your advantage, especially in the evening when the glow of headlights and brake lights can add pizazz and excitement to a picture. 4. Dealing with Other Urban Realities This category includes features of city streets that are going nowhere, such as stoplights, traffic signs, telephone poles, streetlights, hydrants, overhead wires, and outdoor dining struc- tures (though these have diminished in number in recent years). While you may be able to keep a few of these items out of your viewfinder, learn to work with them since they are part of the Practicing Urban Photography 49 urban landscape. And when it comes to moveable objects such as garbage bags, traffic cones, and traffic drums, I generally relocate them until I finish my shoot. (I don’t touch police barriers since that might be pushing one’s luck.) Finally, when it comes to the scourge of urban photography, “temporary” over- hangs (scaffolds, or sidewalk sheds), I generally skip the location and move on. 5. Shoot Quick, Shoot Fast Things can change on city streets without warning. So, when you arrive at an interesting location, take a few shots as soon as possible. Otherwise, lots of stuff can go wrong: a truck parks illegally in front of a monument, people who weren’t around a moment ago are running all over the place, or the security guard you evaded is now approaching. You get the idea: shoot quickly, improve on it later. (And while street art probably won’t vanish while you’re standing there, on any future date it can be de- stroyed, defaced, or replaced by another artist’s vision. Get it while you can.) Conversely, unexpected events can sometimes work in your favor. For example, maybe a colorful truck barrels into your shot from nowhere. To take advantage of that moment, keep your camera at a fast shutter speed, one that allows you to cap- ture the scene and avoid an unwanted blur. (Higher speeds also prevent uninvited birds from looking like blotches in that pretty blue sky.) 50 ROBERT KORNHABER 6. This Land is Their Land Although most of the public and private institutions I visited were unconcerned about my very visible camera as I entered their grounds, private residential communities were not so acco- mmodating and had unattractive signs telling me to keep out. But since most have streets and sidewalks that are unobstructed and allow for easy acc I took my chances until notified otherwise. At no point, however, was I ever challenged or questioned. Keep in mind: this might be different for different folks. Use common sense and intuition. 7. Maximizing Seasons When it comes to photography, a different season can rescue a dull shot or enhance an interesting one. Although summer is ty- pically the get-out-and-take-picture time, summer greenery can get a little monotonous, and overgrown foliage can obscure an historic home or obstruct a distant shot. On these occasions, plan to return when there is more colorful foliage or less of it. One or the other always seems to show up. Which brings us to Fall, when colorful leaves can jazz up street trees and those in local parks. But remember that different species change colors at various times in a season. So do drop by your favorite spots more than once. And as Fall ends in December, late afternoon can be ideal for shooting classic neon signs and catching the early nighttime excitement of commercial shopping areas. And if you feel safer when the streets are busy and stores are still open, shooting later in the evening may not be your thing. Practicing Urban Photography st In Winter, snow is the big attraction. But since snowstorms can be infrequent, pick your destinations carefully, and once the storm passes, get out there even if the weather is not perfect. Try to arrive ahead of other visitors if you don’t want their foot- prints in your pristine shots. Lastly, although a light dusting of snow can make the city seem magical, it is often short lived and will only be a memory if you don’t hurry out. By Spring, trees and plants bring color and beauty to your photos. But before that begins in earnest, use late March or early April to shoot landmarks that were hard to capture when the summer foliage was overgrown. Of course, once nature does start to bloom, parks are great places to visit during those gol- den hours. And for the horticulturally impaired, remember that cherry trees only stay in bloom for a week or two. Please don’t delay that opportunity. 8. Safety First I had originally planned to describe some risky ways to get more challenging shots. But I came to my senses. Putting oneself or others in danger for the kind of photography discussed here is not worth it. So don’t be stupid and shoot when you’re between moving subway cars, while driving, or when you’re standing in the middle of traffic. 9.Some Parting Shots If yow’re inspired to persevere and doggedly pursue your craft, you may end up with an interesting collection of photos. But if you edit your shots on your laptop with a photo editing 52 ROBERT KORNHABER program, spring for a larger monitor. It will make for much better pictures. And if you choose to share them with friends, or even the whole world, don’t fall in love with too many of your shots. An overload of pictures—or worse, redundancy—will lead even your admirers to glaze over them, which inevitably results in a mood-killing sigh, followed by, “Are we done yet?” If you get really good, some of your photos might get re- cognition outside your immediate circle of friends. That’s great but remember that while you can take pictures of almost anything for personal use, shots of street art including graffiti, no matter where you find it, are subject to copyright law and cannot be used for commercial purposes—not even selling them at a street fair—without permission. If you ever get to that juncture, consult with a lawyer familiar with these issues. Better safe than sued! At this point my tutorial is coming to an end. And while fame or fortune are probably not in your future, The Bronx County Historical Society or your local equivalent will appreciate your work, since you’re documenting places that may otherwise be ignored or even forgotten in the near or distant future. While that may not seem important now, someday your urban photography could be a link to a world other people didn’t even know existed. In fact, your photos might be as fascinating as those old black-and-white pictures that we now treasure, even the ones with a lineup of old automobiles.

HERMALYN Recently perusing The Encyclopedia Brittanica of 1929 1 came across a most interesting category: “the Seven Scientific Wonders of the World.” It got me thinking of how we might address this subject in 2024. The old list consists of the telegraph and telephone; wireless telegraph and radio; the airplane; x-rays; radium; anesthesia, antiseptics, and antitoxins; and spectroscopy (chemical compo- sition). Now, while this is some list, it is missing very basic items we now take for granted, like refrigeration and television. How- ever, a small list will always miss important wonders. The use of seven in a series has quite a long tradition. We have seven days of the week, seven wonders of the ancient world, seven natural wonders, seven wonders of the industrial world, and so on. In the Bible, for example, series of seven occur hun- dreds of times: in the Book of Revelation alone there are seven angels, seven churches, seven seals, seven trumpets, seven crowns, and more. For some cultures, seven represents complete- ness and perhaps perfection. So, listings of seven have been around for thousands of years. Therefore, it was only fitting that in my latest book, Geography Scientific and Other Wonders s of The Bronx (The Bronx, N.Y.: The Bronx County Historical Society, 2023), I listed seven natural wonders and seven man- made wonders of The Bronx. The natural wonders list was put together by Dr. Eric Sanderson, noted author of Mannahatta: A Natural History of New York City (New York: Harry N. Abrams, 2009), which discusses the natural history of the area.

Originally published in 1991 Lincoln, Nebraska: University of Nebrasa Press, 2000. 330 pp. ISBN: 9780803263564 $21.95. Here is a book about baseball, especially the author’s beloved New York Yankees and individual players in the 1941 season. The New York Yankee immortal Joe DiMaggio had as6-game hitting streak followed by another 16-game streak, hitting safely in 72 of 73 games—an unbelievable record that people across the country followed. Hank Greenberg of the Detroit Tigers was considered the best ballplayer in the majors, and he was from The Bronx. Pete Reiser of the Brooklyn Dodgers was a great ballplayer who was the fastest man in the sport, who unfortunately ran into concrete walls. And then there was Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox, who hit an extraordinary .406 for the entire year and remains the last man to do so going on 82 years now. All this in 1941 This is also the year that Hitler and Nazi Germany ruled over Europe and conquered Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Greece, Crete, and Egypt, endangering access to the Suez Canal and the oil fields of the region. German U-Boats were sinking Allied shipping with huge losses of life and materials. The United Kingdom had been expecting the Germans to invade their country for two years and were regularly having their cities, Reviews 59 towns, hospitals, and factories bombed. They lost 50,000 of their people to the indiscriminate attacks. What country can have its people under constant threat of bombings and later rockets? This was the low point for the UK. during the war. Then, Hitler invaded the USSR., and while wildly successful initially, the Soviet army did not break and eventual stopped retreating and began its advance. And then on December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked Pearl Har- bor on the island of Oahu. The U.S. lost much of its Pacific fleet. I recall my father telling me that no one knew where Pearl Harbor was but that the United States was attacked, and so he joined the Marine Corps and was overseas for over three and a half years. The industrial might of the U.S. was unleashed, and eventually it proved to be the winning combination in destroying Ger- many and Japan and ending WWII while introducing the atomic age. Yes, Creamer has written some book. 1941 was truly a year that is indelibly marked on all of us. G. Hermalyn The Bronx, New York 60 Reviews DuVal, Kathleen. Native Nations: A Millennium in North America. New York: Random House, 2024. 752 pp. ISBN: 9780525511038. $38.00. With Native Nations: A Millennium in North America, Kathleen DuVal, professor of history at the University of North Caro- lina, has produced a magisterial and accessible synthesis of the last few decades of work in the fields of indigenous studies and history. Her story starts a millennium ago, when diverse Native nations were building large cities throughout North America, in places corresponding to modern-day Arizona, Illinois, and Alabama, for instance. DuVal then discusses theories as to why these large urban settlements fell out of favor across the con- tinent after a few hundred years. Environmental factors no doubt had some part to play in this, but DuVal draws on a variety of oral traditions, other historical sources, and a grow- ing body of scholarship to argue that some indigenous peoples chose to move away from centralized urban settlements in order to create more equitable, sustainable societies on a smaller scale. According to DuVal, contrary to the opinion of carly European settlers in North America, indigenous peoples were not “pri- mitive” because they lacked large cities and rigidly hierarchical societies. Instead, some Native nations had clearly experimented with these social organizations in previous centuries and found them lacking, choosing to develop alternative ways to order their societies. Indeed, one of the most successful aspects of the book is its re- centering of the history of our continent on the more than soo Native nations that occupied it long before European arrival and continue to do so to this day. Athough comparisons with European history are sometimes drawn—for example, DuVal Reviews 61 points out similar timelines for large-scale urban development in both European and North American societies—the focus remains on indigenous groups and individuals. Even after Euro- peans finally enter the scene—more than 100 pages in—, DuVal makes sure that Native nations remain as the leads of their own stories. For instance, DuVal correctly highlights the great political, economic, and military might that the Mohawk and other members of the Haudenosaunce Confederacy exercised over the Dutch, British, and French colonists for hundreds of years after European arrival. For the better part of 200 years, a casual observer would have been hard-pressed to have predicted that the balance of power would eventually shift against the Haudenosaunce. The same is the case, DuVal contends, for other Native nations for centuries after European contact. Whether with the Shawnees, the Cherokees, the Quapaws, the Kiowas, or others, DuVal consistently draws out the significant degree of autonomy, agency, and sovereignty that indigenous commu- nities, individuals, and nations continued to maintain in their dealings with European and U.S. governments well into the nineteenth century. DuVal does not downplay the great loss of livelihoods, land, population, culture, language, and sovereignty that many Native nations experienced during the nineteenth century. Nevertheless, even when narrating these traumatic develop- ments, DuVal keeps the focus on indigenous agency and resi- lience. In keeping with this focus, DuVal chooses to end the book with a discussion of the great revival in culture, language, national pride, and, in some cases, land and sovereignty that various Native nations have attained in the second part of the twentieth and the beginning of the twenty-first centuries. This is certainly a book worth adding to your personal or 62 Reviews institutional collections. For those acquainted with more recent work in indigenous studies and history, it will be a helpful summary of scholarship that presents newer arguments in inno- vative and memorable ways. For those unfamiliar with the scholarship, it will be nothing short of a revelation.

It was originally published as Mark Naison, “Bronx Soundscape: Reflections on the Multi‐ cultural Roots of Hip Hop in Bronx Neighborhoods,” Fordham Research Commons, accessed December 19, 2023, https://fordham.bepress.com/baahp _essays/9. It is being reprinted in commemoration of 50 years of Hip Hop in The Bronx and has been lightly edited for clarity and style. The Patterson Houses at night were alive with activity and alive with sound. . . . Music was everywhere, coming out of people’s apartments and on project benches. On one side of the street, you would have people who brought out portable turntables with the two big speakers . . . and on the other side of the street you could hear some brother singing a Frankie Lymon song, “Why Do Fools Fall in Love.” But the one constant, every night without fail, was the sound of Puerto Ricans playing their bongos in local parks and playgrounds. The steady beat of those drums [“Bomm, Bamm, Bom Bamm, Bamm Boom”] was background music to my living reality.1 1. Allen Jones, The Rat That Got Away: A Bronx Memoir (New York: Fordham University Press, 2009), 19. Bronx Soundscape 1 �I will say this. Wherever we were, the Puerto Ricans was there. I don’t like to get into when we call them Puerto Ricans. They are Africans just like we are. . . . We got to remember that our Puerto Rican brothers are the ones that kept Africa alive. They are the Africans that kept the drum. They kept the Gods of Santeria alive. In the Sixties, Blacks and Puerto Ricans were always playing the Conga. Always had the rhythms.2 Well after I got to play the conga drums . . . I had a bunch of friends that were all interested in playing the congas, the Puerto Rican kids in my area. . . . We started to jam on the roof. It was like every Saturday and every Sunday. Everybody would go to the roof with their conga drums and we would be playing all kinds of rhythms . . . it was like a big party with the drums. But meanwhile, down in the bottom, down on the street, we had these black people or whites and they were into doo wop. . . . You know, the Caribbean, they never took our drum away. The black folk here, they took their drums away . . . so they had to invent something and they invented that doo wop stuff. . . . They were doo wopping and we were rhythm. African rhythms, we were playing them because thank God they never took our drum away.3 Hip hop today is international music. Thanks to global commerce and communication, you can hear MCs rhyming over beats in Dakar, Paris, Berlin, Dacca, and Johannesberg as much 2. Afrika Bambaataa, as interviewed by James Spady in James G. Spady, Samy Alim, and Samir Meghelli, The Global Cipha: Hip Hop Culture and Consciousness (Philadelphia: Black History Museum Press, 2006), 265. 3. “Oral History of Ray Mantilla,” January 24, 2006, interviewed by Mark Naison and Maxine Gordon, The Bronx African American History Project, Fordham University. 2 MARK NAISON �as you can in Los Angeles, Memphis, New Orleans, or The Bronx, and the words used and melodies sampled reflect a dizzying array of languages and cultural traditions. But the young people who created hip hop in The Bronx in the 1970s, and the neighborhoods they held the first jams in, were hardly monocultural. Descendants of families who came to The Bronx from Puerto Rico and the Anglophone Caribbean as well as the American South, they grew up with a wide variety of languages, accents, dialects, and musical traditions, all of which, to use one writer’s phrase, became part of the “Sound Track of Their Lives.” From the mid 1940s on, when African Americans, Puerto Ricans, and Anglophone Caribbeans began moving from Harlem and East Harlem into Bronx neighborhoods and housing projects, public spaces in the South Bronx became places where different musical traditions clashed, fused, and became transformed by people trying to reinvent their identities in settings different than any their families had ever lived in. Hip hop emerged among young people who had experienced a level of sonic diversity unmatched in any neighborhood in the U.S. and possibly the world. Not only did residents of The Bronx bring musical traditions from many portions of the African diaspora. They used those musical forms on a daily basis to worship, to mark territory, to celebrate, to evoke memories of ancestral homelands, to bring in needed income, to escape the pressures of poverty and scarcity, and to show their defiance to forces rendering them powerless and invisible. And they did so, both intentionally and unintentionally, in public space, turning Bronx neighborhoods into a giant, sometimes melodious, sometimes cacophonous soundstage. When we began doing interviews for The Bronx African American History Project in 2002, we were struck at how many of our informants mentioned being exposed to different Bronx Soundscape 3 �musical traditions when walking down the street, sitting by their apartment window, or trying to escape the summer heat by sitting on a fire escape, hanging out on their stoop, going up to their tenement roof, or sitting on a project bench. In communities where the overwhelming majority of people lived in five-story tenements and high-rise public housing, and where air conditioning was unaffordable, people tended to do much of their socializing in public spaces, and whatever music they used to build community among friends and family inevitably was heard by the entire neighborhood. But even when people gathered indoors, whether in apartments, community centers, churches, or clubs, the music they played was often overheard, especially in summer months, because they kept doors and windows open to combat the heat. Gene Norman, whose Afro-Caribbean family moved from Harlem to the South Bronx in the early 1940s, recalled how the sounds of Latin music captured his imagination when he sat on the fire escape of his apartment on Kelly Street off Westchester Avenue, the same block Colin Powell grew up on: There was this nightclub on Westchester Avenue not far from us called the Tropicana Club . . . named after the Tropicana Club in Havana Cuba. I remember as a kid twelve years old or so, on a summer night, hearing the trumpet riffs of the mambo band floating through the air like a pied piper’s tale . . . as the neighborhood became more and more Hispanic, music took on a greater and more engulfing place in your life. Music seemed to be everywhere.4 4. “Oral History of Gene Norman,” July 12, 2004, interviewed by Mark Naison, The Bronx African American History Project, Fordham University. 4 MARK NAISON �Norman, an architect who served as Landmarks Commissioner of the City of New York, said his lifelong love of Latin music grew out of that experience. He ended up marrying a Puerto Rican woman he met in his neighborhood. Arthur Jenkins, an African-American pianist and composer who spent most of his career playing Latin music, also attributed his immersion in Latin music to the sounds of ensembles playing in a neighborhood club around the corner from his house in the Morrisania section of The Bronx, less than a mile from where Norman lived: When I was five years old, we moved to Union Avenue in the Bronx. . . . We lived around the corner from what was known as the Royal Mansion Ballroom. And during the summer time, when the window was open, we would hear this music coming out of the road. . . . Machito was one of the main bands that played there.5 Jenkins spoke of his little corner of the Morrisania community, which produced a large number of successful musicians— including the singing group The Chords, pianist Valerie Capers and her brother, saxophonist Bobby Capers, who played for eight years with Mongo Santamaria—as a place where live music from many traditions could be heard in the streets. I’ll tell you another thing that’s interesting. On the corner, you had Boston Road, and Union Avenue kind of curved into it. You had Jennings Street that ended there . . . the corner of Boston Road and Union Avenue on the side where I lived . . . usually had a fundamentalist church where a lot of music was played. I used to stop and listen to it. They had 5. “Oral History of Arthur Jenkins,” December 14, 2005, interviewed by Mark Naison, Maxine Gordon, and Brian Purnell, The Bronx African American History Project, Fordham University. Bronx Soundscape 5 �trombone players. You know, it was sort of like church music, but with a New Orleans type flavor. So, there was a lot of music going on in that area.6 During his high school years, Jenkins honed his skills in playing Latin jazz in jam sessions at his apartment and later became a fixture in neighborhood clubs on Boston Road like Freddie’s and the Blue Morrocco, where he backed up singers like Irene Reid and Sir Harvel and performed with African-American ensembles who played Latin music. The experiences that Norman and Jenkins described, which took place in the late ’40s and early ’50s, were repeated when the first public housing projects opened in The Bronx in the early and middle 1950s. People who grew up in the Patterson Houses, a huge public housing complex that opened in 1950, describe an extraordinary profusion of sounds coming out of apartments, hallways, schoolyards, and on project grounds that united Patterson’s Black and Latino residents as much as it marked their cultural differences. Victoria Archibald, a social worker who grew up in the Patterson houses in the 1950s and 1960s, described how Latin music became a powerful force in the life of her Black friends and neighbors: Frankie Lymon was one of my favorites. But I loved all kinds of music, including Latin music. It was in sixth grade when I was first introduced to Latin music. Before then, I’d heard it because there were a lot of Latinos in the building, but I didn’t really dance to it. But as I got older, I began to notice more and more Black people dancing to Latin music, and they were good! They used to dance semiprofessionally at the Palladium and places like that. And we watched these folks who also lived in Patterson, who were maybe high school age, and we 6. “Oral History of Arthur Jenkins.” 6 MARK NAISON �just fell in love with the music.7 To emphasize The Bronx’s uniqueness as a site of Black–Latino sociability and cultural exhange, Archibald asked the interviewer “whether [he had] ever heard the term ‘Bootarican,’” and told the following story: My husband Harry, when he and I first met, would hear my friends and I talk about the “Bootaricans in the Bronx,” and he’d say, “Now what is a Bootarican?” And I said “You can’t have lived in New York and be Black and not know what a Bootarican is!” . . . But he lived in a neighborhood where . . . there was hardly any cultural diversity. . . . Now I don’t know where the term comes from, but it describes somebody who is both Black and Puerto Rican. So, we’d be somewhere, and we’d hear somebody speaking Spanish, somebody who looks just like us and we’d say, “A Bootarican.” Harry and I just recently went to a dance where Eddie Palmieri was playing. I love him, and I’ll go wherever he is performing. And there was a woman singer there named “La India.” . . . And when she said, “And all you Bootaricans out there,” Harry turned to me and said, “You weren’t lying.” I said “Why do you think I would lie? This may not be in the dictionary, but there is such a word.”8 Nathan Dukes, an African-American teacher and social worker who grew up in the same project building as Archibald, had equally powerful memories of events where African-American and Latin music traditions mingled, from “grind ’em up parties,” where songs by the Temptations and the Four Tops 7.

Bronx Soundscape 7 �alternated with songs by Joe Bataan and Eddie Palmieri, to the annual outdoor concert organized by Clark J.H.S. music teacher and jazz pianist Eddie Bonamere, which featured timbale player Willie Bobo. Dukes lovingly recalled impromptu musical performances by local “doo wop groups” on project benches: You had Bobo Johnson and James Johnson. They had their doo wop groups. . . . When they were doing their little doo wops in the hallway, or in the summertime, especially in the summertime, they would always get a big crowd because they would do . . . Little Anthony tunes and would also do Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers tunes.9 But his most intriguing commentary was reserved for Puerto Rican conga players, whose pounding beats captured the imagination of African-American youngsters, and in Dukes’s eyes, reconnected them with their African origins: You had Hector. He would be across the street from the Patterson; he would be across the street with his conga drums. He would start at 5 PM and wouldn’t finish till maybe 2:30 in the morning. As I got older, I realized what he was doing was basically just giving signals, letting people know that all was well in the village. That’s what the conga drums were for, to let people know that all was well.10 To be sure, not everyone living in Bronx neighborhoods interpreted late-night conga playing as a sign of social health. Renee Scroggins, one of four African-American sisters who formed the women’s funk/punk band ESG, recalled how some of her neighbors in the Moore Houses threw eggs at the Latin 9. “Oral History of Nathan Dukes,” April 25, 2003, interviewed by Mark Naison, The Bronx African American History Project, Fordham University. 10. “Oral History of Nathan Dukes.” 8 MARK NAISON �percussionists who played till wee hours of the morning: We lived in the projects. . . . Behind us there was a park, St. Mary’s Park. And every summer in St. Mary’s Park . . . you would have some Latin gentlemen in the park with some coke bottles, a cow bell and a set of congas playing the same thing—“boom boom boom, tata ta boom, boom boom”—you know, and it was our summer sound. Plus they were singing. . . . You would go to sleep by it, okay . . . and be it one or two o’clock in the morning, you’re still hearing this roll. . . . Eggs started going out the window.11 But there is no question that many Bronx residents who lived in high-rise housing projects and crowded tenements used music to help humanize their environment and put their personal stamp on public space. Often, they were quite creative in how they did this. Well before Bronx hip hop DJs started hooking up their sound systems to panels at the bottom of light poles, small Puerto Rican bands called “Kikirikis”— in imitation of the sound of roosters—were doing the same thing with their amplifiers when they played in parks in Hunts Point.12 But not only Puerto Ricans brought amplified music to the streets. From the early ’60s on, it was extremely common for African-American as well as Latino Bronx residents to bring their portable record players outside and dance on sidewalks and 11. “Oral History of Renee Scroggins,” February 3, 2006, interviewed by Andrew Tiedt, The Bronx African American History Project, Fordham University. 12. “Oral History of Angel Rodriguez,” May 8, 2007, interviewed by Mark Naison, The Bronx African American History Project, Fordham University. Bronx Soundscape 9 �stoops during hot summer nights. Talibah Roberts, a Bronx school teacher whose father was African American and whose mother was Puerto Rican, recalls how people entertained themselves outside her apartment building on Crotona Park East during summer months: In my building . . . it was a norm for people to bring their equipment outside . . . whoever would have the best equipment or a good stereo, they would bring their radio right from the living room and bring it outside and play it. Or sometimes, people would put their speakers in the window, with the DJ working the system, and we’re standing outside in front of the building, and we would dance.13 Given experiences like this, it is not surprising that the outdoor jams held in schoolyards, parks, and public housing projects by DJs like Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash, and Afrika Bambaataa seemed more familiar than revolutionary to Bronx residents. While the use of two turntables and mixing equipment might have been new, the pounding percussive rhythms and use of powerful amplification had been fixtures of music on the streets of The Bronx for more than 20 years. So was the fusion of Latin music with soul and funk. When Grandmaster Flash would mix Jimmy Castor’s “It’s Only Just Begun” into James Brown’s “Give It Up and Turn It Loose” and the Incre-dible Bongo Band’s “Apache,” he was affirming a multicultural, multinational sonic community that gave Bronx neighborhoods a distinctive flavor, inspiring his audiences to celebrate who they were at a time when most of the outside world had written them off as gang-ridden, drug-ridden predators. 13. “Oral History of Talibah Roberts,” March 15, 2005, interviewed by Mark Naison, The Bronx African American History Project, Fordham University. 10 MARK NAISON �The following description of outdoor musical activities in the Mill Brook Houses in the late ’70s captures the air of excitement those gatherings generated. Matthew Swain, who was only 11 at the time his family moved to the Mill Brook Houses from a neighborhood devastated by fires, remembers thinking: This is so cool, man. Right there on my block and they just played. It was a live DJ out there and they would set up two metal garbage cans. They turned them upside down and put this big board to set the turn tables on, run the watts to somebody’s secondstory apartment straight through, and it was just on. It would go all night and it was just a cool thing. . . . They had two turntables, giant speakers . . . Pioneer and Kenwood mixers. . . . It was a lot of freestyle rappers . . . the crowd was just galvanized by this one MC. He’s just rapping. He had the whole crowd going.14 But the MCs and the DJs did not have project airspace entirely to themselves. Even though Puerto Rican adolescents were an important part of the crowd at the hip hop jams, older Puerto Ricans in the community made sure the music they listened to was played loud enough for everyone to hear. Swain recalled: We had a lot of Spanish people around then. Especially summertime, they would have a stage set up right there off 137th Street, right in front of the bodega. A little stand at night. They’d have their live jam session from the bongos and playing music, have a mike, and go out there singing.15 Swain, like many other people who grew up in Bronx 14. “Oral History of Matthew Swain,” February 2, 2006, interviewed by Natasha Lightfood, Mark Naison, and Laura Kelly, The Bronx African American History Project, Fordham University. 15. “Oral History of Matthew Swain.” Bronx Soundscape 11 �neighborhoods and housing projects from the mid ’40s through the late ’70s, remembers the melodies and rhythms that surrounded them in their daily lives with extraordinary vividness and fondness. Whether it was doo wop or mambo, funk or salsa, Motown or the scratching of early hip hop DJs, they saw appropriation of diverse musical traditions as something that gave their life added joy and made their upbringing rich and distinctive. If hip hop was in some measure a gesture of defiance in the face of arson, disinvestment, and the closing of public services, it was also an affirmation of an extraordinarily rich and diverse set of musical traditions that had found a home in Bronx neighborhoods for more than 30 years. If hip hop DJs were, in the words of Afrika Bambaataa, “looking for the perfect beat,” they were also, to paraphrase Nathan Dukes, “letting people know that all was well in the village.” 12 MARK NAISON ��ISABELLE HERMALYN BOOK AWARD IN NEW YORK URBAN HISTORY Presented annually to an author of a distinguished work in New York urban history. 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 Geography of The Bronx, G. 2011 Hermalyn, The Bronx County Historical Society Annotated Primary Source 2010 Documents, vol. 2, Roger McCormack, The Bronx County 2009 Historical Society BASEBALL The New York 2008 Game, Anthony Morante Hudson’s River, Gary Hermalyn and Sidney Horenstein, The Bronx County Historical 2007 Society Concrete Jungle, Niles Eldrige and Sidney Horenstein, 2006 University of California Press Digging The Bronx, Alan Gilbert, The Bronx County 2005 Historical Society The New York Botanical 2004 Garden, Gregory Long and Todd A.

Introduction In The Bronx, national Prohibition (1920–1932) met with sometimes violent street-level resistance and lack of support from the borough’s political and economic establishment. This essay will trace the contours of this resistance and lack of support. Clearly, this was an ill-advised—no matter how wellintentioned—social experiment that failed miserably in The Bronx, because the policy had no roots in an immigrant, firstor second-generation, working-to-middle-class community. A comparative study of similar communities is beyond the scope of this essay but it is probable that the experience of The Bronx was very typical. We will begin with a discussion of enforcement efforts and the corruption of law enforcement officials in the city as a whole before zeroing in on The Bronx and including sections on the Dutch Schultz gang, Bronx speakeasies, and Bronx methods of enforcement avoidance via the art of disguise. II. The Arrival of Prohibition When national Prohibition arrived in 1920, The Bronx was no Prohibition in The Bronx 15 �longer a quiet, semi-rural, agricultural suburb of small settlements with now familiar names like Kingsbridge, Tremont, Highbridge, Fordham, Morrisania, and Hunts Point, surrounded by farmland, forest, and the estates of the wealthy perched on the banks of the Harlem and Hudson Rivers and Long Island Sound.1 Urbanization of the borough was helped along by the elevated (“El”) trains that reached The Bronx in 1904 and the arrival of Jews, Italians, Irish, Poles, and Germans from Harlem, the Lower East Side, and other parts of Manhattan, who saw The Bronx with its “parks, tree-lined boulevards, and open land” as a step up. By 1920, there was, except for the northernmost sections, a developing urban landscape with apartment houses, shops, paved streets, and densely populated neighborhoods. By 1925, with a population of over one million, The Bronx would have been the sixth largest city in the United States.2 These new Bronx citizens were mostly immigrants and first- or second-generation Americans who reflected the ethnic profile of the city as a whole.3 Our main focus is Prohibition in The Bronx but to begin, we will place the legislation in the context of the big city. 1.

Enforcement in New York City Women who had been involved in the Suffrage Movement were prominent in the Anti-Saloon League and the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, two organizations that played a major role in the campaign to pass the 18th Amendment (1919), which ushered in national Prohibition. There is logical coherence to this association, since temperance was seen as a women’s issue and excessive drinking as the cause of familial problems like domestic violence, marital discord, family breakups, and abused, disturbed, and unhappy children.4 Most religious and civic leaders agreed that drinking was a social evil, among them Black leaders who saw alcohol historically as a means to control Blacks and render them incapable of insurrection or protest and as a contemporary source of much pathology in the Black community.5 Soon, it became clear that Prohibition was impossible to enforce in a city of immigrants and immigrants’ children, from countries that accepted the tavern and the bottle in the cupboard at home as integral parts of community and family life. In fact, as the United States entered World War I in 1918, anti-immigrant feeling was embedded in the Prohibition movement, directed against Germans who dominated the brewery industry. (The Bronx was home to several large German-owned breweries.)6 4.

Prohibition in The Bronx 17 �On the other side of the social divide, New York was a convention center (federal Prohibition agents routinely canvassed upscale hotels when a convention was in town), a tourist attraction, and a playground of the idle rich, celebrities, and celebrities’ acolytes. It was also dominated by a wealthy, native elite unwilling to accept limitations on its accustomed leisure style.7 Police officials and judges were not sanguine about enforcement. In August 1921, a Brooklyn magistrate called Prohibition “a joke.” The New York Times commented, “If he meant that liquor is being sold all over the city, and of better quality than offered some months ago, he had made no assertion that is new to the prohibition enforcement agents.” However, the same magistrate made clear that not all the wares that bootleggers and saloon owners sold was better quality when he added that Prohibition “has deprived the poor working man of his beer and it has flooded the country with rat poison.”8 Judge Leopold Prince of the 8th District Municipal Court thought so little of Prohibition that in the same month and year he announced his intention to publicly defy the law. “I defy the police to interfere with me when I am drinking a glass of wine whether it’s in a restaurant or any other place. If they did I have a method which I don’t wish to disclose but which would stop them very quickly.”9 In January 1922, after he sentenced James Grotty, the owner of a saloon on Willis Avenue 7.

Gibbs said, “The attempt to enforce the liquor law in New York City is both ludicrous and disgraceful. . . . This law is in contempt and is bringing other laws into contempt.”10 In his 1923 annual report to the Mayor, Police Commissioner Robert Enright wrote, “The Federal Prohibition laws have neither the support or the respect of the public and efforts of the Police Department to enforce them were met with obstruction on every hand.”11 In 1926, President of the Board of Aldermen and future Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia noted, “Prohibition cannot be enforced for the simple reason that the majority of the American people do not want it to be enforced and are resisting enforcement.”12 IV. Prohibition and Police/Agent Corruption Commissioner Enright did not mention that the “Efforts of the Police Department” were not always focused on enforcement. It is an ages-old, unfortunate fact that when governments attempt to prohibit a commodity, service, or activity for which there is a large market with huge untaxed profits—from alcohol and drugs to prostitution and gambling—not only is the attempt usually a dismal failure but some fraction of law enforcement is corrupted. Bribes for non or lax enforcement and advance notice of raids were common, and it soon became obvious that official 10. “Judge Terms Dry Efforts Ludicrous,” New York Times, January 18, 1922. 11.

Marques, “Prohibition.” Prohibition in The Bronx 19 �corruption was enhanced by the investment of legitimate businesses and wealthy individuals in the lucrative liquor trade (sound similar to contemporary drug trafficking?).13 Police and federal agents were known to “liberate” confiscated goods to sell to bootleggers or imbibe—off-duty police officers were not above getting arrested for public drunkenness.14 In 1922, when obliged to return four barrels of wine to a grocery store on East 112th Street because the wine was produced before Prohibition took effect and the grand jury had dismissed the complaint, the police refused.15 In October 1922, police and Prohibition agents acting on their own unofficial behalf, along with about thirty others, invaded a federal repository in a warehouse on West 34th Street and made off with 5,100 cases of whiskey.16 In January 1926, the shrinkage of liquor being transported by federal agents to an army base in Brooklyn “increased alarmingly,” and several Prohibition agents were indicted for selling confiscated “denatured” (poisonous) alcohol to bootleggers.17 (The alcohol may have been poisoned by Prohibition officials, who sometimes tried to discourage consumers by poisoning the industrial-use alcohol that bootleggers had made quasidrinkable and selling it back to them. This practice resulted in about 10,000 deaths.)18 Just before the 22nd Amendment ended Prohibition in 1933, an off-duty police officer and an accomplice 13. “Indictment of Rum Runner May Be Sought as Walsh Is Linked to Liquor Plot,” Bronx Home News, February 1, 1929; “Officers Say Bronx Man Taken in Rum Raid, Owns Harlem Murder Car,” Bronx Home News, September 27, 1925; and “The Rise, Fall and Rise Again of NYC Speakeasies,” TopView, accessed December 21, 2023, https://www.topviewnyc.com/passes/attractionpasses/the-rise-fall-and-rise-again-of-nyc-speakeasies. 14. “Cut In Dry Force Believed To Be Due,” Bronx Home News, January 29, 1926. 15. “Call Police First, Raid Second Winery,” New York Times, October 27, 1922. 16. “Call Police First, Raid Second Winery.” 17. “Cut In Dry Force Believed To Be Due,” New York Times, January 24, 1926. 18.

They were apprehended in the act of kidnapping, “arresting” him.19 These examples give only a hint of the scale of official corruption. V. The Bronx and the Dutch Schultz Gang Another unintended result of banning a commodity for which there is a profitable market is the spawning of extensive, often international, criminal gangs and cartels that engage in deadly turf wars, corrupting or violently attacking law enforcement personnel. (Predictably, prohibition of alcohol was a windfall to the criminal gangs that were already making goodly profits selling narcotic drugs.) The Prohibition-era gangs in The Bronx mirrored its ethnic make-up: Irish, Jewish, Italian, Polish, and German.20 The most prominent gang was headed by a German immigrant, Dutch Schultz, born Arthur Flegenheimer. Its headquarters was the 19. “Seized In Fake Dry Raid,” New York Times, August 11, 1932; “2 Fake Raiders Convicted,” New York Times, September 16, 1932. 20. “Andrews Postpones Shake-up of Dry Agents; Finds Businessmen Averse to $6,000 Job,” Bronx Home News, September 26, 1925; “Call Police First, Raid Second Winery”; “Cut In Dry Force Believed To Be Due”; “Dry Raiders Stoned From Bronx Roofs,” New York Times, October 26, 1922; “Grand Jury Calls Enright to Explain,” New York Times, September 10, 1921; “Officers Say Bronx Man, Taken in Rum Raid, Owns Harlem Murder Car”; “Young Ocean of Booze, Seized in Drug Raid, Under Heavy Uniformed Guard in Police Station,” Bronx Home News, March 4, 1920. Prohibition in The Bronx 21 �bullet-proof, steel-lined fourth floor of the Terminal Building on East 149th Street.21 Prohibition agents were fair game when they crossed paths with this group. On October 31, 1931, at the Majestic Garage on Westchester Avenue, eight agents seized three truckloads of beer belonging to the Schultz gang—but not before they were attacked. The glass paneling above a “massive door” was broken with a rock, and a powerful bomb whose explosion shattered the windows of a nearby apartment building was thrown through it. The agents barely escaped.22 Needless to say, Prohibition agents and police officers were not welcome at moments when they forcibly interrupted what most people considered innocent fun (and had for centuries). In August 1931, four Prohibition agents visited Braacker’s Inn, a “roadhouse” on City Island Avenue. The agents encountered a desperate scene. “An orchestra was playing a fox trot when the agents entered and a score of couples was on the dancefloor.” Two agents searched the dining room while two went to the bar, bought drinks, announced they were Prohibition agents, and made arrests. As soon as they did, several men at the bar became abusive, and one of them “whipped out a pistol” and shot an agent in the left thigh. The agents were followed by a crowd with hostile intent as they drove off in two vans with confiscated goods, their wounded colleague, and prisoners. Subsequently, City Island became the scene of intense agent activity, and the next week eight places were raided and 41 arrests made. At one, two vans transporting prisoners and liquor 21. “4 Dry Agents Fail to Pick Assailant,” New York Times, July 13, 1932; “Held in Dry Raid Shooting,” New York Times, October 23, 1931, 20; NYPD 8926a, NYPD Collection, New York City Municipal Archives, in Rosen, Prohibition in New York City, 102; “Stevens and Ahearn, ‘Dutch Schultz Aides, Indicted in Dry Agent Shooting,’” Bronx Home News, April 24, 1932. 22. “Gang Hurls Bomb Among Bronx Dry Raiders Who Escape Blast After Seizing Schultz Beer,” New York Times, October 31, 1931. 22 ED BELLER �were pursued by incensed customers. (In fact, a “big booze raid” often attracted an angry crowd.)23 It turned out that the bar patron who shot the agent, Thomas Ahearn, was a lieutenant in the Schultz organization. About two weeks later, the agents, who had beaten Ahearn and pinned him to a wall before he broke away and escaped, were strangely unable to identify him. However, the proprietor John Braacker was sure he was the man.24 In June 1931, a Bronx man, Abraham Rosenberg, who said he was engaged in the scale-making business but in reality manufactured and sold liquor and owned a large warehouse in The Bronx, was found murdered in Queens somewhere between Flushing and Bayside. It was not definitely proven that the Schultz gang was responsible but the police were convinced that Rosenberg was a victim of a feud between liquor traffickers.25 In The Bronx, that meant there was a good chance that the Schultz gang was involved. There is no evidence that the Schultz gang took part in the following Bronx incident but it is nevertheless interesting as an example of a bootlegging operation so large and elaborately planned that the presence of an extensive organization is implied.

Prohibition in The Bronx 23 �Hudson, and East Rivers was a favorite bootlegger disembarkation spot. In 1923, a luxury yacht, The Mirage, was “almost awash from the weight of the seven hundred cases of choice brands of whiskey” it carried. Speeding cars along Pelham Parkway aroused suspicion and led police to a dancehall in Throggs Neck, where the cargo, valued at $125,000—about $2,234,000 today—was confiscated and 24 arrests were made.26 Another unintended result of Prohibition—this one redounded to the benefit of bootleggers—was the scarcity of whiskey as a palliative. In 1920, an influenza epidemic struck the city and The Bronx. Whiskey was considered an effective antidote but druggists found it very difficult to navigate the complicated, lengthy procedure needed to procure a state license, and as one article reported, “unlicensed druggists are refusing to fill prescriptions that may mean life or death to the victims of the dreaded disease.” Fordham Hospital officials “admitted with reluctance” that the hospital was without whiskey for several days. But it is a stretch to think that the ill could not find whiskey in the very wet Bronx.27 VI. The Speakeasies New York City was the nation’s largest liquor market, and the Anti-Saloon League saw victory in the intensely resistant 26. “Seize 6 Autos, Boat, Liquor and 24 Men,” New York Times, October 17, 1922. 27. “Urgent Call For Nurses to Fight ‘Flu’ Epidemic; Lack of Whiskey a Handicap,” Bronx Home News, January 27, 1920; “Druggists Wait Vainly For Government Action; Seeking Licenses to Fill ‘Flu’ Prescriptions,” Bronx Home News, February 1, 1920; Okrent, “Prohibition Speakeasies.” 24 ED BELLER �cultural, media, and financial capital of the United States as a coveted trophy. But the terrain was unmanageably crowded, with 30,000 to 100,000 speakeasies. (It is estimated that for every legitimate bar that was forced to close, six speakeasies opened.) On one side of the spectrum, these included elegant nightclubs for the upper class, called “Blind Tigers,” with fine dining, tasteful décor, jazz combos, and dancing (the most famous of them, The Stork Club, flourished until 1965). On the other side, “Blind Pigs” were for the lower classes, selling a “cheap and inferior product”—sometimes providing it gratis as a promotion and sometimes featuring animal attractions—with “cheap furniture, peeling paints, well-worn pool tables, and hodgepodge collections of liquor bottles.” “Speaks” were also gambling dens and “disorderly resorts”—brothels.28 In 1923, Enright called them “resorts, dives, brothels and bawdy houses of every description . . . the rendezvous of the criminal and vicious elements of the city.”29 They are also described as “the underbelly of that era, the seamy down-market clubs that served up deadly fights, murders, scams, and robberies.”30 A 1926 photograph in the NYPD collection at the New York City Municipal Archives, for example, shows a well-dressed male 28. “Anti-Saloon League Head Says Yonkers Is Disorderly City,” Bronx Home News, August 8, 1920; Lerner, Dry Manhattan, 4; Marques, “Prohibition”; NYPD 8926a, in Rosen, Prohibition in New York City, 102; Now on view —“Padlocked”: New York’s Prohibition Years | New-York Historical Society, accessed December 21, 2023, https://www.nyhistory.org/blogs/now-on-viewpadlocked-new-yorks-prohibition-years; “The Rise, Fall and Rise Again of NYC Speakeasies”; “Voice Through the Door, In Midnight Raid Causes Allen To Be Held For Gambling,” Bronx Home News, July 11, 1920; Ralph Blumenthal, Stork Club: America's Most Famous Nightspot and the Lost World of Café Society (New York: Little, Brown & Co., 2000). 29.

They are havens of refuge for known crooks. Such nightclubs which are must be wiped out.”32 At both extremes there was protection money for gangsters and “see no evil” money for police. VII. Bronx Enforcement It is probably safe to say that the illegal venues in The Bronx, given its working-class, middle-class, low-crime environment (“conspicuous by its absence,” according to the February 1921 Bronx grand jury) did not usually touch on either extreme.33 However, that did not abrogate the likelihood of resistance. Enforcement ran into obstacles within the legal system itself. Bronx courts were critical when it came to the legal right of police, Internal Revenue, Secret Service, or Prohibition agents to enter and search premises, going so far as to condone physical resistance if no warrant was produced. In September 1921, out of 31. NYPD 8926a. 32. “Smash Iron Doors in Bronx Club Raid,” New York Times, March 10, 1926. 33. “Bronx Jury Lauds Glennon,” New York Times, March 5, 1921. 26 ED BELLER �40 Prohibition violation complaints, The Bronx grand jury threw out 38 and subpoenaed Police Commissioner Enright to explain “the unlawful tactics employed by Bronx policemen in connection with alleged violations of prohibition law.” It seems that the grand jury, as well as future Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, were of the opinion that the police were ignoring the city’s corporation counsel and searching premises, automobiles, and bags without a warrant. In fact, in New York City, thousands of gallons of wine, whiskey, and beer were illegally confiscated Above: “Policeman Francis O. Rice (left) and William Ornstein (right) doing Guard Duty besides the Green River (Booze) and Real Lager Beer awaiting Governmental Disposition in the W. 152nd St., Police Station. The Wet Goods were found in an automobile near the Police Station by Policeman Rice and the arrest of three men followed.” Bronx Home News, March 4, 1920. Prohibition in The Bronx 27 �and then sold to bootleggers or imbibed at Police Department frolics.34 The following interesting comment in the Bronx Home News implies that a little “poaching” by police was not shocking. In 1920, at the 152nd Street Station some recently confiscated whiskey was “hidden from public view probably because of the consideration Commander Day has for the policemen who do the late tour on stormy nights.”35 The relationship between the Bronx grand jury and the Bronx legal system deteriorated to the point that in January 1930 the jury declared its lack of confidence in the District Attorney’s Office and recommended that enforcement be transferred to federal authorities. But federal Prohibition agents were not popular either and were sometimes accused of overly aggressive, even brutal tactics. For example, in September 1922, agents entered a Bronx café as ordinary customers. One claimed to be sick and asked for brandy. When told that the café sold only a non-alcoholic substitute, the agents rushed behind the bar. One of the proprietors objected, and “an example of the methods used by some prohibition agents and revenue men in securing ‘evidence’ was revealed Saturday when two agents entered the café of Becker Bros., 143rd Street and Third Avenue, and while one of the men held Lawrence Becker, one of the proprietors, the other pummeled him into semi-consciousness.” No liquor was found.36 34. “Governor to Blame Enright Tells Jury”; “Grand Jury Calls Enright to Explain”; “Haskell Scores Police,” New York Times, August 25, 1921; and “U.S. Court Holds Revenue Agents Had No Right to Search Bars of Bronx Saloons,” Bronx Home News, March 9, 1920. (n.b.: The last time I had jury duty at the 161st Street Supreme Court building I encountered the D.A.’s prosecutor at the Yankee Tavern—the case had been decided—, and she told me it was always a tough struggle to get a conviction from a Bronx jury.

In 1920, the Democratic primary opponents of a candidate for District Leader in the 8th Assembly District could not hurl a more damaging insult at him than he was a Prohibitionist. Candidate Barney Lipshay called “the latest move of his opponent which tries to make a prohibitionist of him the most cruel act yet perpetrated.”37 VIII. Bronx Resistance Irish, Italian, Polish, German, and Jewish neighborhoods—The Bronx at the time in a nutshell—were noted for their often angry reactions to the presence of Federal agents and local police in their homes, speakeasies, and saloons. (Saloon owners were particularly hostile since not only were their establishments closed down but because selling liquor was a Federal offense, they were not eligible for bail and did jail time for “maintaining nuisances.”) Shortly after Prohibition began (1920), a saloon owner on Webster Avenue “knowingly used a dangerous weapon,” “two Great Dane dogs growling ferociously,” when a Federal agent went behind the bar to inspect. The proprietor Angelo Delia employed what appears to have been a common Bronx tactic and broke a pitcher containing whiskey on the floor thus destroying the evidence.38 37. “Hot Session in Board of Elections Offices When Lipshay Learns He Is a Prohibitionist,” Bronx Home News, February 1, 1920. 38. “Bronx Men and Women Face Federal Courts Accused of Selling Whiskey to Revenue Men,” Bronx Home News, February 19, 1920; “The Bronx Was Brewing”; “5 Uptown Oases Among 28 Raided in Dry Cleanup,” Bronx Home News, April 26, 1932; “Saloon Keepers Pin Hopes on Fight Before Judge Hand in U.S. Court, Many Close Bars,” Bronx Home News, November 2, 1919; “Whalen’s Raiders Close 60 Places,” New York Times, January 4, 1929. Prohibition in The Bronx 29 �In September 1922, when Chief New York City Federal Enforcement Agent Christopher J. Fortman learned that The Bronx was “pretty wet,” ten places were raided. At one, a saloon on East 136th Street, a canine anti-federal agent “weapon” was again front and center when the owner turned his large Newfoundland dog loose on the agents and they were confronted by angry patrons.39 In June 1922, Sunday worshippers were offended: “Churchgoers of the Bronx while on their way to and from services recently have encountered to [sic] many intoxicated persons falling out of saloons that hundreds of complaints have been lodged with the Federal Prohibition Department.” In response, agents posing as longshoremen and dockworkers mounted a Sunday operation. After they bought a few rounds at a saloon on East 136th Street, the owner James Smith—perhaps the same 136th Street saloon and the same owner with the big dog—caught on and employed The Bronx “knock the evidence out of the agents’ hands” tactic. But there was enough left on the floor to collect and arrest Smith.40 (All church worshippers’ complaints should be taken with at least two grains of salt. Wine was permitted for “sacramental” purposes but also tended to appear, as did whiskey, for “little parties” at Bronx churches and synagogues and at fraternal organizations like the Elks Club.)41 39. “Try To Sell Water At $27,000 To Drys,” New York Times, September 17, 1922. 40. “Church Time Picked For Bronx Rum Raid,” New York Times, June 12, 1922. 41. “Elks Club Porter Is Arrested For Theft Of Quantity Of Booze,” Bronx Home News, January 22, 1920; “Four Men Accused Of Sale Of Wood Alcohol As Booze,” Bronx Home News, December 11, 1919; “Rabbi Blind From Drinking Wood Alcohol Tells Pitiable Story In Court,” Bronx Home News, January 8, 1920. 30 ED BELLER �In May 1922, the owner of a saloon on Brook Avenue objected to a search by federal Prohibition agents. “Schmidt at once manifested his disapproval of prohibition agents and is said to have gone at them with both fists.” Schmidt was subdued with blackjacks.42 In October 1922, when Federal agents raided a winery in the Italian section on East 149th Street, a crowd of about 500 gathered and in an effort to retrieve the wine attacked and damaged the truck the agents were using to cart it away. “The agents were being hooted and jeered and even threatened.” When the police arrived, the crowd retreated to the roofs of nearby buildings and showered them and the agents with rocks. Police managed to get to the roofs and disperse the crowd.43 “Far in the Bronx” a more passive style of resistance when speakeasies and restaurants were raided and closed was to take the libations outside and “have their ‘whoopee’ in the open.”44 IX. Disguises Of course, the “name of the game” was to avoid the inconvenience of enforcement via the art of disguise. Bronx speakeasies did not operate as openly as some of the elegant haunts of Manhattan’s wealthy. They were “hidden in such out of the way places and restricted to such small areas” that the beautiful old bars of pre-Prohibition glory days ended up as firewood or as counters in restaurants and the spacious saloons were converted to bakeries. When hiding the evidence, 42. “Saloon Man Tamed With A Black Jack,” New York Times, May 31, 1922. 43. “Dry Raiders Stoned From Bronx Roofs.” 44. “Police In New Year Raids On Inns And Speakeasies As City Celebrates,” New York Times, January 1, 1929. Prohibition in The Bronx 31 �Bronx bartenders performed “feats of legerdemain that would have daunted Houdini.” One Bronx speakeasy was an insurance office, another was a junk dealership, another a political club, another an athletic club, another a “luxuriously furnished” headquarters of an association of actors and theater producers, another a “lonely, deserted” farmhouse at the intersection of Eastchester and Gun Hill Roads with an “elaborately furnished reception room” for customers. Private Bronx residences (“apartment clubs”) were common covers as were upscale restaurants. Private residences also often hid state-of-the-art distilleries as did garages.45 Some business venues with ostensibly other commercial goals sold liquor: grocery stores, laundries, shoe repair shops, soda fountains, and more. Bronx “bookies” supplemented their betting gains. The enterprising owners of small stores that sold cheap whiskey placed printed lists of prices in neighborhood mailboxes.46 The product was also disguised—for example, as barrels marked “sugar” shipped from Philadelphia and destined for a warehouse 45. “Big Stills Raided In A Bronx House,” New York Times, March 13, 1928; “Club Halts Trial To Accept Padlock,” New York Times, March 18, 1926; “Federal Agents Raid Moonshine Still In 135th St.; Second Illicit Apparatus Taken,” Bronx Home News, November 4, 1919; “Impressive Pre-Volsteadian Bars Pass From Extinct Bronx Saloons To Serve New Uses,” Bronx Home News, April 7, 1929; “Oil Burning Stills Deluxe Are Seized In A $200,000 Liquor Raid In The Bronx,” New York Times, January 16, 1926; “Operator Of Still In Bronx Garage Given Six Days,” Bronx Home News, February 2, 1932; “Police In New Year Raids On Inns And Speakeasies”; “The Speakeasies of the 1920s,” Prohibition, accessed December 21, 2023, https:// prohibition.the mobmuseum.org/the-history/the-prohibition-underworld/ the-speakeasies-of-the-1920s/; “Ruins In Wake Of Still Blast,” Bronx Home News, February 2, 1933; “Smash Iron Doors In Bronx Club Raid”; “30 Taken in Bronx Raid,” New York Times, January 4, 1930; “To Turn Former Saloons in This City Into Mince Pie Bakeries,” Bronx Home News, November 11, 1919; “Whalen’s Raiders Close 60 Places.” “50 Cents Gin and $2 Whiskey Sold In Bronx, Dry Raiders Report,” New 46.

They posed as longshoremen and laborers (“to get into the lower type of speakeasy”), icemen and salespersons.48 In 1920, two agents posed as golfers, played a round at the Van Cortlandt Park course, and “followed the crowd” to the “Nineteenth Hole,” also known as the Van Cortlandt Inn, to have a few drinks and make arrests.49 On a Saturday night in June 1922, a drunk woman bought drinks at a saloon on Willis Avenue in The Bronx, and immediately Messrs. O’Toole and Reardon, who sold to this “drunk” policewoman, were arrested. Her next victim was a street vendor on Third Avenue who smashed the bottles on the pavement. But enough was collected to arrest him. To add to the confusion, Bronx criminals sometimes presented themselves as Prohibition agents and “shook down” unwary drinkers.50 X. Prohibition’s Demise The demise of Prohibition with the passage of the 22nd Amendment in February 1933 was the result of a vigorous political counterattack—in The Bronx there was an active chapter of the Women’s Organization for National Prohibition 47. “Arrest Two More For Liquor Fraud,” New York Times, January 30, 1921; “Seize 500 Barrels Of Beer In The Bronx,” New York Times, January 29, 1921; “Trail ‘Apple’ Load and Seize Alcohol,” New York Times, February 3, 1926. 48. “Speakeasies Wary But Police Press War,” New York Times., January 12, 1929. 49. “Prohibition A Joke, Dale Says On Bench.” 50. “Church Time Picked For Bronx Rum Raid”; “Shot Down in Crowd of 50; — No One Saw It,” New York Times, August 16, 1921. Prohibition in The Bronx 33 �Reform—that cited the brutality and violence of the underworld that controlled the trade and the corruption it engendered. Furthermore, the wets claimed that unregulated sales by criminal gangs and the lure of the forbidden had actually increased drunkenness.51 The Depression brought severe demands on government and magnified the significance of the loss of tax revenue. Before Prohibition, 75% of state aid funds received by New York City came from liquor and beer taxes, and the chair of The Bronx anti-prohibition women’s organization made the very salient point that the unprecedented hard times disproved the dry claim that Prohibition fostered self-discipline, frugality, and hence prosperity. Also, basic common sense expressed in countless editorials and politicians’ public statements was critical of an unenforceable law at odds with ages-old customs. Finally, there was strong lobbying from the businesses not connected to underworld criminal networks. The Hotel, Restaurant, Club, and Allied Industries Association advocated for legitimate brewers, distillers, and distributors and the hotels, restaurants, and nightclubs that were engaged in a losing competition with speakeasies. A spokesperson for the Association said, “Sixty percent of the restaurants and hotels are ‘broke’ today and the rest are broke and don’t know it.”52 51. “Bronx Leader Of Women’s Anti-Dry Group Called To Conference Of Advisory Group,” Bronx Home News, February 2, 1932. 52. “Bronx Leader Of Women’s Anti-Dry Group”; “Hotel Association Urges Fight for Dry Law Repeal,” Bronx Home News, March 1, 1932; “Many Phases of Prohibition Are Discussed by Rotarians in Five Ten Minute Speeches,” Bronx Home News, March 3, 1932; “The Rise, Fall and Rise Again of NYC Speakeasies”; Grace Notarstefano et al., “Today in NYC History: How Prohibition Affected New York City,” Untapped New York, January 16, 2014, https://untappedcities.com/2014/01/16/today-in-nyc-history-how-prohi bition-affected-new-york-city/ 34 ED BELLER �It never worked in The Bronx anyway, and it is doubtful that The Bronx was any less wet during Prohibition than it was before or after. Maybe it was wetter. One Bronx landlord, annoyed at the suggestion that landlords should contribute more to Depression unemployment relief, was of the opinion that all the gin bottles collected from rent-deadbeat, abandoned Bronx apartments “should bring the relief fund a lot of money.”53 The recent history of laws against mind- and mood-altering substances is a not quite parallel story. Marijuana has followed the trajectory of alcohol. But there is a panoply of narcotic drugs too damaging and dangerous to be permitted open sale. Whether it is possible to effectively prohibit and/or regulate them is an unresolved question. My guess is it is not. 53.

Fitzpatrick, an Irish immigrant age 22, went to work for Mr. Lawrence,1 the owner of a plot of land on the southwest corner of Fordham village.2 Jack stayed with Lawrence for several years; he noted the construction of Lawrence’s new shop in an entry in December 1873. In September 1872, Jack Fitzpatrick and Annie Carrigan were married at Our Lady of Mercy, which at that time held its services in the chapel at St. John’s Seminary, now Fordham University.3 Jack’s sister had died that summer, leaving a son, Edward, whom the newlyweds took in. Their first child, Margaret, “was born in the Pow [sic] Cottage on the Seventh day of September in the year 1873.” Jack “went to live in his own house” at 2498 Webster Avenue in March 1874. A son, James, was born in March 1875. Today, the mortality rate for children under 1.

Jack and Annie went on to have five more children, all of whom lived to adulthood. By 1883, Jack was in business for himself. That was the year, he noted, that James Smith came to work for him. The Sanborn fire insurance maps (shown below) make it possible to visualize the 2400 block of Webster Avenue at the time.5 There is a twostory building at 2498 Webster Avenue, Jack’s residence. At the rear of 2496 is another two-story building, its long axis parallel to the street, which is likely the shop shown in the picture below. The uniformed men in the picture are likely fireman from Engine Company No. 48, next to 2498 Webster Avenue.6 Next to the firehouse is Our Lady of Mercy church, a former clubhouse of the Tammany Society. A photograph from Jack’s memorabilia shows C. Clinton’s Dry Goods Store at the northern end of the block, on the southwest corner of Webster Avenue and Fordham Road. A little farther north in Bedford Park was Mount St. Ursula Academy, which Jack’s daughter Margaret attended.

The oldest child was only 15. Jack remarried in 1897. Jack died just two years later, in January 1899, at age 51. Some excitement followed on his funeral, as noted in his obituary. John H. Fitzpatrick, well known master horseshoer, died at his home on Monday. The funeral took place on Wednesday from the Church of Our Lady of Mercy. Father Brady celebrated a solemn high mass of requiem. Delegations were present from Fordham Council, C.B.L.; Division No. 6 A. O. H. of Fordham and the local branch of the Master Horseshoers’ Association. Interment was in St. Raymonds Cemetery. After the requiem mass which was held last Wednesday over the late J. Fitzpatrick, at the Church of Our Lady of Mercy, charcoal remained in the incense burner, and one of the altar boys thoughtlessly emptied the holder of its burning coals on the sill of the window, and then went home. Sexton Duffy, who happened to enter the church a short time afterward, together with the janitor, found the basement filled with smoke. A hasty search revealed a fire in the vestry. The men in an engine house of the Fire Department, which is next to the church, were immediately notified, and quenched the flames with a fire extinguisher.8 Only three of Jack’s children lived past 30 years. Tuberculosis was one of the three leading causes of death in the U.S. in the years 1900–1922. It is a contagious disease, easily spread from person to person and even through unpasteurized milk.

One year later, Jack’s youngest daughter Nell and her two youngest children died of tuberculosis. Caroline, the oldest surviving daughter, married a college athletics coach in 1897. They eventually settled in Detroit. They had three children. Caroline died in 1950, age 73. Jack’s first daughter, Margaret, died in infancy. His third daughter, also named Margaret, joined the Sisters of Charity. In 1900, she was teaching at Holy Cross Academy in Manhattan. She died in Haverstraw, New York, in 1940, age 62. The fourth daughter, Elizabeth, graduated from “Female Grammar School No. 64” in 1897 as attested by the diploma issued by the Department of Public Instruction. Three years later, she married the neighborhood milkman, a German immigrant. They had four children. Elizabeth lived most of her life in the area around Fordham where she grew up. She died in 1959, age 78. Jack, both his wives, and all his children except for Caroline were buried in the old section of St. Raymond’s cemetery. 9.

The school is owned and operated by the Congregation of Notre Dame. For over a century, the Villa has established a reputation for academic excellence, a robust faith life, and an abiding sense of community. The Villa has been an outstanding member of the academic community of New York City, consistently producing capable, ambitious, well-rounded alumni active in the worlds of business and the arts. I. Founding and Early Days of Villa Maria The history of Villa Maria Academy dates back to 1653 when Marguerite Bourgeoys made the decision to leave the security of her native France to teach in Ville Marie, now called Quebec. As her work grew, others came to join her until, in 1700, she founded the Sisters of the Congregation of Notre Dame. The steadfast aim of the Sisters of the Congregation of Notre Dame was to provide for their pupils a thorough Catholic education, to assist them in developing character and self-reliance, to make of them women of education, refinement, and culture. Villa Maria Academy 43 �Over two centuries, St. Marguerite’s teaching order spread throughout Canada. In 1886, the Sisters were invited to teach the young women of St. Jean Baptiste, the Canadian national parish in Manhattan. For the next 40 years, the school was located at 139 East 79th Street. In 1917, St. Jean Baptiste, a “finishing school” teaching social graces, literature, French, German, music, art, and embroidery, was widely recognized as “distinctly above average.” Eventually, the growth of the student body necessitated a move to the Ellis estate in the Country Club section of The Bronx. On August 18, 1927, the school was officially transferred to its current site—eight acres with a private waterfront on Eastchester Bay and luxuriant shrubs and shade trees—and the finishing school became a boarding school for the young women of New York City. On May 17, 1958, Cardinal Spellman presided at the dedication of Hall Marguerite, a new building to accommodate the burgeoning elementary wing. In June 1969, the high school’s last class graduated. After 82 years, Villa Maria Academy became strictly a co-educational elementary school. The first elementary class with boys graduated in 1976. St. Marguerite Bourgeoys was canonized on October 31, 1982. The canonization celebrations were matched by the celebrations in 1986, the school’s centennial year. Thirteen hundred students, parents, alumni, and friends came to share memories, to reminisce, and to rejoice in Villa Maria’s vibrant century. II. Villa Maria Today The Academy is chartered by the University of the State of 44 JANICE MASTROPIETRO �New York. The courses of studies are in keeping with the best standard of educational institutions. Diplomas awarded to graduates entitle them to enter the New York Training School for Teachers, or any College in the City or State. Throughout this course, the languages are efficiently taught, and French is given special attention. The Villa Building is for the lower grades and contains fully equipped science and technology labs and music and art studios. A large book and media collection is housed in an elegant library in this building. The Great Hall accommodates schoolwide liturgies and events. The Junior High School Building is for junior high school students and includes Hall Marguerite, a communal gathering place for meals and events. The Visitation Center is equipped with a regulation-sized gymnasium that Above: Front view of Villa Maria Academy today, located at 3335 Country Club Road in The Bronx. Courtesy of the author. Villa Maria Academy 45 �hosts sports tournaments and community youth programs and doubles as a full-size theater. It also has a quarter-mile track, which makes the school a popular host for track-and-field competitions. Extracurricular activities include the National Junior Honor Society, Student Council, Junior High Drama Club, piano lessons, Chess Club, art classes, basketball, baseball, track and cross country, volleyball, tennis, Math Olympiad, Science Fair, and STEM. In short, Villa Maria continues to carry on the rich legacy of rigorous education and religious and cultural formation bequeathed to the school by St. Marguerite Bourgeoys and the Congregation of Notre Dame. 46 JANICE MASTROPIETRO �ABOUT THE AUTHORS MARK NAISON, Professor of African American Studies and History at Fordham University, is the c0-founder with The Bronx County Historical Society of The Bronx African American History Project, one of the largest community-based oral history projects in the nation.

New York Art Deco: Birds, Beasts & Blooms. Introduction by Eric P. Nash. New York: Rizzoli International Publications, 2022. 192 pp. ISBN: 9780847872046. $39.95. It is unusual for any book with “New York” in its title to set its sights on any borough but Manhattan, but New York Art Deco breaks the mold to include significant examples of the style in The Bronx, Brooklyn, and Staten Island as well. Only Queens is not represented. Here can be discovered nine significant Art Deco structures in the city’s mainland borough, and not all of them are on the Grand Concourse. Photographer Andrew Garn is known for his fine art and editorial works that have appeared in exhibitions and in books and magazines throughout the world. During the period of the early COVID-19 pandemic, when New York City was in lockdown, he focused his camera on the Art Deco building ornamentation depicting animals, fish, birds, and vegetation. No crowds or traffic interfered with his quest, enabling him to capture close-up views of bas-relief and high-relief sculpture, mosaics, and murals found on building exteriors and in lobbies. In New York Art Deco, they are gloriously reproduced in vivid color, printed on thick, glossy paper. An Introduction provided by Eric P. Nash, who spent 25 years doing research and writing articles for the New York Times and writing books on architecture, provides a brief history of the Reviews 49 �development of the Art Deco style from its origins to its various manifestations in combination with Assyrian, Egyptian, Classical, and Mayan motifs. He claims Art Deco had its distant origins in the Art Nouveau style that emerged in France in the 1890s, decades before its historic introduction to the world in the Paris exhibition of decorative arts in 1923. An expression of the sleek look and speed of the machine, Art Deco reached its apogee in New York during the Jazz Age 1920s. This date may be so if one considers only Manhattan as New York. In The Bronx, Art Deco flowered in the era of the Great Depression of the 1930s. There are a few errors found in some of the introductions to each building’s set of photographs. The name of the man who designed the Grand Concourse was Risse, not Riss, and the boulevard is not wider than its model, the Champs Elysées in Paris. It was Horace Ginsbern who co-designed the Park Plaza Apartments on Jerome Avenue, not Horace Ginsberg. These errors are minor, however, compared to the effect of the photographs. Of course, the overwhelming number comes from Manhattan’s office and apartment buildings. Yet, of the book’s opening four pages leading to the title page, the first three are of the lobby mural and exterior mosaic of the Fish Building at 1150 Grand Concourse in The Bronx, which are followed by a fourth page of a bit of decorative sculpture on a building façade at Rockefeller Center in Manhattan. After the Introduction, the photographs are arranged in the order in which each building was constructed. Since the focus of Garn’s photographs is on the ornamentation depicting “Birds, Beasts & Blooms,” the first appearance of such Art Deco decoration in The Bronx is the horses’ heads on the cornice of the building at 101 East 161st Street, erected in 1925. This is only the eighth structure depicted 50 Reviews �in the book and the first one outside of Manhattan. Because of Garn’s interest in building detail, there are only a handful of photographs in the book that try to show the entire exterior of any structure. Moreover, none of the edifices that feature simple abstract Art Deco façades are included. Nevertheless, there are advantages to this approach. In the bustle that characterizes life in New York City, people rush past the artistic Art Deco glories that appear on the façades of buildings both famous and obscure. Whether speeding by in a car or rushing by on foot to get to a destination, few take the opportunity to stop and admire these striking works of art that Garn has captured in his photographs. How many people pass by the massive Rainey Memorial Gates at the entrance to the Bronx Zoo on Fordham Road without stopping to examine the intricacies and craftsmanship of sculptor Paul Manship’s Art Deco masterpiece, teeming with all sorts of animal life amid a lush, leafy landscape? With the vivid photographs, any reader can do so in the comfort of home, taking as much time as needed to truly admire a great artist’s work. The same can be said for all of the detailed photographs in New York Art Deco, providing the reader with hours of delight. Lloyd Ultan The Bronx, New York Helmreich, William B. The Bronx Nobody Knows: An Urban Walking Guide. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2023. 472 pp. ISBN: 9780691166957. $27.95. Reviews 51 �William B. Helmreich, a Distinguished Professor of Sociology at the City College of New York, who passed away of COVID-19 in 2020, has written a rather unique book to be called a “guide” in The Bronx Nobody Knows. It is at once both more and less than that. Nor is it Helmreich’s first attempt at the genre, having produced The New York Nobody Knows and books with similar titles focusing on Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens before taking on The Bronx. He had just about completed the manuscript about the city’s mainland borough when he contracted his fatal illness. The effort was completed by his widow. In this volume, Helmreich asserts that he has walked the length of every street in The Bronx with his wife by his side looking into every nook and cranny seeking to come across the unexpected. He divides The Bronx into 35 neighborhoods to organize his narrative. In most cases the boundaries that he sets are arbitrary since the limits, and even some of the names, of almost all Bronx neighborhoods have not been definitively set. Nevertheless, this organizing principle enables him to create a series of walking tours that can be followed easily by his readers. While Helmreich does refer to the major attractions found in The Bronx and to items of historic significance, he does not dwell on them with any great detail. In his walking tours, he stops for a moment at such a site, provides essential information, and then moves on. He does point out buildings whose architecture attracts him, as well as neighborhood shops and local parks he finds interesting. Occasionally, he is able to obtain entrance into the interior of a building and experience a space that is normally closed to the public, such as the space found beneath the central cupola of the former Daughters of Jacob Home on East 167th Street between Teller and Findlay Avenues. 52 Reviews �There he discovers a spectacular domed amphitheater that had served as a synagogue until 1979, still in pristine condition. All of this Helmreich vividly describes in detail that seems to bring his discoveries to life. What separates this volume from the usual guidebook is the author’s encounters with residents, shopkeepers, and passersby he meets during his journeys. His word-to-word transcriptions of each conversation is particularly revealing about the attitudes towards their neighbors, customers, and surroundings. They dispel the outmoded myth of The Bronx, showing that its ethnically and economically diverse people are friendly, open, and hopeful. This is perhaps the most important aspect of Helmreich’s book. In his introduction, the author sums up what he finds are the traits and character of The Bronx. They amount to a great hope among its residents and workers, a fascinating history, the borough’s great beauty, a strong sense of community and friendliness, and its many surprises. It is refreshing to find a volume filled with such truth about the borough. Lloyd Ultan The Bronx, New York Hermalyn, G. Geography of The Bronx. The Bronx, NY: The Bronx County Historical Society, 2023. 126pp. ISBN: 9780941980777. $25.00. Geography of The Bronx is best regarded as a love story. The Reviews 53 �author lovingly dedicated years to examining the borough on foot, by motor vehicle, by boat, and through written documents. The Bronx is his life’s passion. He is unshakably and unapologetically a lover of all things Bronx. To be fair, the borough has been overshadowed for too long, and this book is overdue, and Hermalyn, if anyone, is the person for rectifying that. In The Bronx is found the southernmost canal of the Erie Canal System, planned for 112 years, and finally completed in 1939. The Bronx is also the home of Potters Field. Among the million buried there, lie many scarcely remembered veterans dating back to the Civil War. At the other end of the spectrum is Woodlawn Cemetery where, in contrast, some of the most internationally famous jazz musicians have been interred alongside New York’s rich and famous. Physically, The Bronx is a hill country with an elevation of some hills as high as 200 feet. On the western ridge on a twoacre stretch are the columns and busts celebrating the Hall of Fame for Great Americans. The Bronx remembers them all. Ancient history goes way back if you only know where to look. The last Ice Age visited the area, depositing huge boulders and even islands in its wake. One of them, Hart Island, served as an installation site for Nike missiles in the twentieth century. Work on the Bronx River Parkway altered the Bronx River, and now one side of one stretch of the river has moved to Westchester while the other is still in The Bronx. In the 1600s, the area was the homestead for Jonas Bronck, a Swede with a land grant from the Dutch West Indies Company. 54 Reviews �Today, the borough is home to millions and, surprisingly, still has room enough for a variety of wildlife. And so it goes. It is all there still to be discovered and uncovered anew. Geography of the Bronx makes a great companion to show you where to look. The book is well illustrated and beautiful enough to be displayed on a coffee table. Douglas Lazarus Middlebury, Vermont Jonnes, Jill. South Bronx Rising: The Rise, Fall, and Resurrection of an American City. Third edition. Forward by Nilka Martell. New York: Fordham University Press, 2022. 608 pp. ISBN: 9781531501211. $34.95. South Bronx Rising, first published in 1986 as We’re Still Here, is well regarded as a history of The Bronx and its tumultuous twentieth century, where housing abandonment and government disinvestment led to the nadir of The Bronx, with many predicting the outright demise of New York City’s only mainland borough. Jonnes is a journalist by trade, and South Bronx Rising appropriately chronicles and gives voice to the numerous Bronx residents, activists, and grassroots organizations that saved the borough from destruction. The third edition, retitled South Bronx Rising in the second edition released in 2000, focuses on new challenges in the Reviews 55 �borough and a rising generation of activists, Bronxites, and community leaders combating the perils of gentrification, “upzoning,” and the old blights of slumlordism and government inaction. While the earlier editions of South Bronx Rising highlight older organizations like the Northwest Bronx Community and Clergy Coalition and their struggles against redlining and exploitative landlords in the 1970s and 1980s, Jonnes now amplifies the twenty-first century struggles of Bronxites worried about gentrification, ecological devastation, and poverty. The upshot of these fears is an increasingly vocal and effective generation of activists, exemplified by people like Nilka Martell, founder of Loving The Bronx and an impassioned advocate for “capping” (i.e., covering the below-ground sections of) the Cross Bronx Expressway as a way to minimize pollution and rectify the sickness traffic pollution has caused in The Bronx’s “Asthma Alley.” Ecological concerns loom large for this new generation of activists. The Bronx River Alliance, a nonprofit founded to restore and combat pollution of the Bronx River, had a herculean task, given the once squalid conditions of the river in the South Bronx. Amazingly, the river has bounced back from industrial pollution due to the efforts of the Alliance and other organizations, who have championed volunteer litter and debris pick-up to save New York City’s only freshwater river. Jonnes shows the fiery debates gentrification has spurred in the borough, contrasting the perspective of groups like South Bronx Unite and CASA (Community Action for Safe Apartments), who view any incipient signs of gentrification as a menace, with a view, championed by former Bronx Borough President Rubén Díaz, Jr., of investment and new business in 56 Reviews �The Bronx as an overall boon for all Bronxites. While perhaps only time will tell which vision will most benefit the borough, a dose of skepticism is certainly warranted about the supposed benefits of gentrification in The Bronx, especially given the exorbitant rents charged in new luxury apartment buildings such as “Bankside” along the Harlem River in Mott Haven. The exodus of long-time residents from historic Black neighborhoods like Crown Heights and Flatbush in Brooklyn is merely one of a litany of examples of displacement via gentrification. The most common refrain from the excellent interviews Jonnes conducted with Bronxites is an intense and justified fear of economic pressure, as many Bronx residents are rent-burdened, meaning 50 percent or more of their income goes towards rent. In a lengthy afterword on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on The Bronx, Jonnes testifies to the indomitable spirit of The Bronx during a once-in-a-century event. The Bronx had the highest totals of Covid-19 deaths of the five boroughs, 70 percent of its workforce was deemed essential, and it remains the poorest borough in New York City. The unsettling photos of breadlines at soup kitchens in South Bronx Rising evoke the darkest recent days of the borough, but Jonnes sees reasons for optimism. Her rousing conclusion notes the intensification of organizing and civic awareness in the wake of the pandemic. It is this solidarity that Jonnes sees as the greatest asset of The Bronx, one that will allow it to overcome.

BRONX SOUNDSCAPE: REFLECTIONS ON THE MULTICULTURAL ROOTS OF HIP HOP IN BRONX NEIGHBORHOODS BY MARK NAISON Editor’s Note: This article stems from a presentation at the Metropolitan Studies Conference in Berlin, Germany, May 24–26, 2007. It was originally published as Mark Naison, “Bronx Soundscape: Reflections on the Multi‐ cultural Roots of Hip Hop in Bronx Neighborhoods,” Fordham Research Commons, accessed December 19, 2023, https://fordham.bepress.com/baahp _essays/9. It is being reprinted in commemoration of 50 years of Hip Hop in The Bronx and has been lightly edited for clarity and style. The Patterson Houses at night were alive with acti- vity and alive with sound. . . . Music was everywhere, coming out of people’s apartments and on project benches. On one side of the street, you would have people who brought out portable turntables with the two big speakers . . . and on the other side of the street you could hear some brother singing a Frankie Lymon song, “Why Do Fools Fall in Love.” But the one constant, every night without fail, was the sound of Puerto Ricans playing their bongos in lo- cal parks and playgrounds. The steady beat of those drums [“Bomm, Bamm, Bom Bamm, Bamm Boom”] was background music to my living reality.1 1. Allen Jones, The Rat That Got Away: A Bronx Memoir (New York: Fordham University Press, 2009), 19. Bronx Soundscape 1 I will say this. Wherever we were, the Puerto Ricans was there. I don’t like to get into when we call them Puerto Ricans. They are Africans just like we are. . . . We got to remember that our Puerto Rican brothers are the ones that kept Africa alive. They are the Af- ricans that kept the drum. They kept the Gods of Santeria alive. In the Sixties, Blacks and Puerto Ricans were always playing the Conga. Always had the rhythms.2 Well after I got to play the conga drums . . . I had a bunch of friends that were all interested in playing the congas, the Puerto Rican kids in my area. . . . We started to jam on the roof. It was like every Saturday and every Sunday. Everybody would go to the roof with their conga drums and we would be playing all kinds of rhythms . . . it was like a big party with the drums. But meanwhile, down in the bottom, down on the street, we had these black people or whites and they were into doo wop. . . . You know, the Caribbean, they never took our drum away. The black folk here, they took their drums away . . . so they had to invent something and they invented that doo wop stuff. . . . They were doo wopping and we were rhythm. African rhythms, we were playing them because thank God they never took our drum away.3 Hip hop today is international music.

But the young people who created hip hop in The Bronx in the 1970s, and the neighborhoods they held the first jams in, were hardly monocultural. Descendants of families who came to The Bronx from Puerto Rico and the Anglophone Caribbean as well as the American South, they grew up with a wide variety of languages, accents, dialects, and musical traditions, all of which, to use one writer’s phrase, became part of the “Sound Track of Their Lives.” From the mid 1940s on, when African Americans, Puerto Ricans, and Anglophone Caribbeans began moving from Harlem and East Harlem into Bronx neighborhoods and hou- sing projects, public spaces in the South Bronx became places where different musical traditions clashed, fused, and became transformed by people trying to reinvent their identities in settings different than any their families had ever lived in. Hip hop emerged among young people who had experienced a level of sonic diversity unmatched in any neighborhood in the U.S. and possibly the world. Not only did residents of The Bronx bring musical traditions from many portions of the African diaspora. They used those musical forms on a daily basis to worship, to mark territory, to celebrate, to evoke memories of ancestral homelands, to bring in needed income, to escape the pressures of poverty and scarcity, and to show their defiance to forces rendering them powerless and invisible. And they did so, both intentionally and unintentionally, in public space, turning Bronx neighborhoods into a giant, sometimes melodious, sometimes cacophonous soundstage. When we began doing interviews for The Bronx African American History Project in 2002, we were struck at how many of our informants mentioned being exposed to different Bronx Soundscape 3 musical traditions when walking down the street, sitting by their apartment window, or trying to escape the summer heat by sitting on a fire escape, hanging out on their stoop, going up to their tenement roof, or sitting on a project bench. In communities where the overwhelming majority of people lived in five-story tenements and high-rise public housing, and where air conditioning was unaffordable, people tended to do much of their socializing in public spaces, and whatever music they used to build community among friends and family inevitably was heard by the entire neighborhood. But even when people gathered indoors, whether in apartments, community centers, churches, or clubs, the music they played was often overheard, especially in summer months, because they kept doors and windows open to combat the heat. Gene Norman, whose Afro-Caribbean family moved from Harlem to the South Bronx in the early 1940s, recalled how the sounds of Latin music captured his imagination when he sat on the fire escape of his apartment on Kelly Street off Westchester Avenue, the same block Colin Powell grew up on: There was this nightclub on Westchester Avenue not far from us called the Tropicana Club . . . named after the Tropicana Club in Havana Cuba. I remember as a kid twelve years old or so, on a summer night, hearing the trumpet riffs of the mambo band floating through the air like a pied piper’s tale . . . as the neighborhood became more and more Hispanic, music took on a greater and more engulfing place in your life. Music seemed to be everywhere.4 4. “Oral History of Gene Norman,” July 12, 2004, interviewed by Mark Naison, The Bronx African American History Project, Fordham University. 4 MARK NAISON Norman, an architect who served as Landmarks Commissioner of the City of New York, said his lifelong love of Latin music grew out of that experience. He ended up marrying a Puerto Rican woman he met in his neighborhood. Arthur Jenkins, an African-American pianist and composer who spent most of his career playing Latin music, also attributed his immersion in Latin music to the sounds of ensembles playing in a neighborhood club around the corner from his house in the Morrisania section of The Bronx, less than a mile from where Norman lived: When I was five years old, we moved to Union Avenue in the Bronx. . . . We lived around the corner from what was known as the Royal Mansion Ballroom. And during the summer time, when the window was open, we would hear this music coming out of the road. . . . Machito was one of the main bands that played there.5 Jenkins spoke of his little corner of the Morrisania community, which produced a large number of successful musicians— including the singing group The Chords, pianist Valerie Capers and her brother, saxophonist Bobby Capers, who played for eight years with Mongo Santamaria—as a place where live music from many traditions could be heard in the streets. I’ll tell you another thing that’s interesting. On the corner, you had Boston Road, and Union Avenue kind of curved into it. You had Jennings Street that ended there . . . the corner of Boston Road and Union Avenue on the side where I lived . . . usually had a fundamentalist church where a lot of music was played. I used to stop and listen to it. They had 5. “Oral History of Arthur Jenkins,” December 14, 2005, interviewed by Mark Naison, Maxine Gordon, and Brian Purnell, The Bronx African American History Project, Fordham University. Bronx Soundscape 5 trombone players. You know, it was sort of like church music, but with a New Orleans type flavor. So, there was a lot of music going on in that area.6 During his high school years, Jenkins honed his skills in playing Latin jazz in jam sessions at his apartment and later became a fixture in neighborhood clubs on Boston Road like Freddie’s and the Blue Morrocco, where he backed up singers like Irene Reid and Sir Harvel and performed with African-American ensembles who played Latin music. The experiences that Norman and Jenkins described, which took place in the late ’40s and early ’50s, were repeated when the first public housing projects opened in The Bronx in the early and middle 1950s. People who grew up in the Patterson Houses, a huge public housing complex that opened in 1950, describe an extraordinary profusion of sounds coming out of apartments, hallways, schoolyards, and on project grounds that united Patterson’s Black and Latino residents as much as it marked their cultural differences. Victoria Archibald, a social worker who grew up in the Patterson houses in the 1950s and 1960s, described how Latin music became a powerful force in the life of her Black friends and neighbors: Frankie Lymon was one of my favorites. But I loved all kinds of music, including Latin music. It was in sixth grade when I was first introduced to Latin music. Before then, I’d heard it because there were a lot of Latinos in the building, but I didn’t really dance to it. But as I got older, I began to notice more and more Black people dancing to Latin music, and they were good! They used to dance semi- professionally at the Palladium and places like that. And we watched these folks who also lived in Patterson, who were maybe high school age, and we 6. “Oral History of Arthur Jenkins.” 6 MARK NAISON just fell in love with the music.7 To emphasize The Bronx’s uniqueness as a site of Black–Latino sociability and cultural exhange, Archibald asked the inter- viewer “whether [he had] ever heard the term ‘Bootarican,’” and told the following story: My husband Harry, when he and I first met, would hear my friends and I talk about the “Bootaricans in the Bronx,” and he’d say, “Now what is a Bootarican?” And I said “You can’t have lived in New York and be Black and not know what a Bootarican is!” . . . But he lived in a neighborhood where . . . there was hardly any cultural diversity. . . . Now I don’t know where the term comes from, but it describes somebody who is both Black and Puerto Rican. So, we’d be somewhere, and we’d hear some- body speaking Spanish, somebody who looks just like us and we’d say, “A Bootarican.” Harry and I just recently went to a dance where Eddie Palmieri was playing. I love him, and I’ll go wherever he is performing. And there was a woman singer there named “La India.” . . . And when she said, “And all you Bootaricans out there,” Harry turned to me and said, “You weren’t lying.” I said “Why do you think I would lie? This may not be in the dictionary, but there is such a word.”8 Nathan Dukes, an African-American teacher and social worker who grew up in the same project building as Archibald, had equally powerful memories of events where African-American and Latin music traditions mingled, from “grind ’em up parties,” where songs by the Temptations and the Four Tops 7.

Bronx Soundscape 7 alternated with songs by Joe Bataan and Eddie Palmieri, to the annual outdoor concert organized by Clark J.H.S. music teacher and jazz pianist Eddie Bonamere, which featured timbale player Willie Bobo. Dukes lovingly recalled impromptu musical performances by local “doo wop groups” on project benches: You had Bobo Johnson and James Johnson. They had their doo wop groups. . . . When they were doing their little doo wops in the hallway, or in the summertime, especially in the summertime, they would always get a big crowd because they would do . . . Little Anthony tunes and would also do Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers tunes.9 But his most intriguing commentary was reserved for Puerto Rican conga players, whose pounding beats captured the imagination of African-American youngsters, and in Dukes’s eyes, reconnected them with their African origins: You had Hector. He would be across the street from the Patterson; he would be across the street with his conga drums. He would start at 5 PM and wouldn’t finish till maybe 2:30 in the morning. As I got older, I realized what he was doing was basically just giving signals, letting people know that all was well in the village. That’s what the conga drums were for, to let people know that all was well.10 To be sure, not everyone living in Bronx neighborhoods interpreted late-night conga playing as a sign of social health. Renee Scroggins, one of four African-American sisters who formed the women’s funk/punk band ESG, recalled how some of her neighbors in the Moore Houses threw eggs at the Latin 9. “Oral History of Nathan Dukes,” April 25, 2003, interviewed by Mark Naison, The Bronx African American History Project, Fordham University. 10. “Oral History of Nathan Dukes.” 8 MARK NAISON percussionists who played till wee hours of the morning: We lived in the projects. . . . Behind us there was a park, St. Mary’s Park. And every summer in St. Mary’s Park . . . you would have some Latin gentle- men in the park with some coke bottles, a cow bell and a set of congas playing the same thing—“boom boom boom, tata ta boom, boom boom”—you know, and it was our summer sound. Plus they were singing. . . . You would go to sleep by it, okay . . . and be it one or two o’clock in the morning, you’re still hearing this roll. . . . Eggs started going out the win- dow.11 But there is no question that many Bronx residents who lived in high-rise housing projects and crowded tenements used music to help humanize their environment and put their personal stamp on public space. Often, they were quite creative in how they did this. Well before Bronx hip hop DJs started hooking up their sound systems to panels at the bottom of light poles, small Puerto Rican bands called “Kikirikis”— in imitation of the sound of roosters—were doing the same thing with their amplifiers when they played in parks in Hunts Point.12 But not only Puerto Ricans brought amplified music to the streets. From the early ’60s on, it was extremely common for African-American as well as Latino Bronx residents to bring their portable record players outside and dance on sidewalks and 11. “Oral History of Renee Scroggins,” February 3, 2006, interviewed by Andrew Tiedt, The Bronx African American History Project, Fordham University. 12. “Oral History of Angel Rodriguez,” May 8, 2007, interviewed by Mark Naison, The Bronx African American History Project, Fordham University. Bronx Soundscape 9 stoops during hot summer nights. Talibah Roberts, a Bronx school teacher whose father was African American and whose mother was Puerto Rican, recalls how people entertained them- selves outside her apartment building on Crotona Park East during summer months: In my building . . . it was a norm for people to bring their equipment outside . . . whoever would have the best equipment or a good stereo, they would bring their radio right from the living room and bring it outside and play it. Or sometimes, people would put their speakers in the window, with the DJ working the system, and we’re standing outside in front of the building, and we would dance.13 Given experiences like this, it is not surprising that the outdoor jams held in schoolyards, parks, and public housing projects by DJs like Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash, and Afrika Bambaataa seemed more familiar than revolutionary to Bronx residents. While the use of two turntables and mixing equipment might have been new, the pounding percussive rhythms and use of powerful amplification had been fixtures of music on the streets of The Bronx for more than 20 years. So was the fusion of Latin music with soul and funk. When Grandmaster Flash would mix Jimmy Castor’s “It’s Only Just Begun” into James Brown’s “Give It Up and Turn It Loose” and the Incre-dible Bongo Band’s “Apache,” he was affirming a multicultural, multinational sonic community that gave Bronx neighborhoods a distinctive flavor, inspiring his audiences to celebrate who they were at a time when most of the outside world had written them off as gang-ridden, drug-ridden predators. 13. “Oral History of Talibah Roberts,” March 15, 2005, interviewed by Mark Naison, The Bronx African American History Project, Fordham University. 10 MARK NAISON The following description of outdoor musical activities in the Mill Brook Houses in the late ’70s captures the air of excite- ment those gatherings generated. Matthew Swain, who was only 11 at the time his family moved to the Mill Brook Houses from a neighborhood devastated by fires, remembers thinking: This is so cool, man. Right there on my block and they just played. It was a live DJ out there and they would set up two metal garbage cans. They turned them upside down and put this big board to set the turn tables on, run the watts to somebody’s second- story apartment straight through, and it was just on. It would go all night and it was just a cool thing. . . . They had two turntables, giant speakers . . . Pioneer and Kenwood mixers. . . . It was a lot of freestyle ra- ppers . . . the crowd was just galvanized by this one MC. He’s just rapping. He had the whole crowd going.14 But the MCs and the DJs did not have project airspace entirely to themselves. Even though Puerto Rican adolescents were an important part of the crowd at the hip hop jams, older Puerto Ricans in the community made sure the music they listened to was played loud enough for everyone to hear. Swain recalled: We had a lot of Spanish people around then. Especially summertime, they would have a stage set up right there off 137th Street, right in front of the bodega. A little stand at night. They’d have their live jam session from the bongos and playing music, have a mike, and go out there singing.15 Swain, like many other people who grew up in Bronx 14. “Oral History of Matthew Swain,” February 2, 2006, interviewed by Natasha Lightfood, Mark Naison, and Laura Kelly, The Bronx African American History Project, Fordham University. 15. “Oral History of Matthew Swain.” Bronx Soundscape 11 neighborhoods and housing projects from the mid ’40s through the late ’70s, remembers the melodies and rhythms that surrounded them in their daily lives with extraordinary vividness and fondness. Whether it was doo wop or mambo, funk or salsa, Motown or the scratching of early hip hop DJs, they saw appropriation of diverse musical traditions as something that gave their life added joy and made their upbringing rich and distinctive. If hip hop was in some measure a gesture of defiance in the face of arson, disinvestment, and the closing of public services, it was also an affirmation of an extraordinarily rich and diverse set of musical traditions that had found a home in Bronx neighborhoods for more than 30 years. If hip hop DJs were, in the words of Afrika Bambaataa, “looking for the perfect beat,” they were also, to paraphrase Nathan Dukes, “letting people know that all was well in the village.” 12 MARK NAISON BASEBALL T H EN E WY O R KG A M E "Tony H O W EHTN A T I O N A L P A S T I M E PARALLELED U S HISTORY TONY MORANTE FOREWORDBYMICHAELKAY YANKEE PLAY-BY-PLAY TV COMMENTATOR AND ESPN RADIO HOST Available o n Amazon Morante illustrates howbaseball becamethe background musico f America." — EdRandall ISABELLE HERMALYN BOOK AWARD IN NEW YORK URBAN HISTORY Presented annually to an author of a distinguished work in New York urban history. 2023 Geography of The Bronx, G. 2011 Hermalyn, The Bronx County Historical Society 2022 Annotated Primary Source 2010 Documents, vol. 2, Roger McCormack, The Bronx County 2009 Historical Society 2021 BASEBALL The New York 2008 Game, Anthony Morante 2020 Hudson’s River, Gary Hermalyn and Sidney Horenstein, The Bronx County Historical 2007 Society 2019 Concrete Jungle, Niles Eldrige and Sidney Horenstein, 2006 University of California Press 2018 Digging The Bronx, Alan Gilbert, The Bronx County 2005 Historical Society 2017 The New York Botanical 2004 Garden, Gregory Long and Todd A.

Introduction In The Bronx, national Prohibition (1920–1932) met with sometimes violent street-level resistance and lack of support from the borough’s political and economic establishment. This essay will trace the contours of this resistance and lack of support. Clearly, this was an ill-advised—no matter how well- intentioned—social experiment that failed miserably in The Bronx, because the policy had no roots in an immigrant, first- or second-generation, working-to-middle-class community. A comparative study of similar communities is beyond the scope of this essay but it is probable that the experience of The Bronx was very typical. We will begin with a discussion of enforcement efforts and the corruption of law enforcement officials in the city as a whole before zeroing in on The Bronx and including sections on the Dutch Schultz gang, Bronx speakeasies, and Bronx methods of enforcement avoidance via the art of disguise. II. The Arrival of Prohibition When national Prohibition arrived in 1920, The Bronx was no Prohibition in The Bronx 15 longer a quiet, semi-rural, agricultural suburb of small settlements with now familiar names like Kingsbridge, Tremont, Highbridge, Fordham, Morrisania, and Hunts Point, surrounded by farmland, forest, and the estates of the wealthy perched on the banks of the Harlem and Hudson Rivers and Long Island Sound.1 Urbanization of the borough was helped along by the elevated (“El”) trains that reached The Bronx in 1904 and the arrival of Jews, Italians, Irish, Poles, and Germans from Harlem, the Lower East Side, and other parts of Manhattan, who saw The Bronx with its “parks, tree-lined boulevards, and open land” as a step up. By 1920, there was, except for the northernmost sections, a developing urban landscape with apartment houses, shops, paved streets, and densely populated neighborhoods. By 1925, with a population of over one million, The Bronx would have been the sixth largest city in the United States.2 These new Bronx citizens were mostly immigrants and first- or second-generation Americans who reflected the ethnic profile of the city as a whole.3 Our main focus is Prohibition in The Bronx but to begin, we will place the legislation in the context of the big city. 1.

Enforcement in New York City Women who had been involved in the Suffrage Movement were prominent in the Anti-Saloon League and the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, two organizations that played a major role in the campaign to pass the 18th Amendment (1919), which ushered in national Prohibition. There is logical coherence to this association, since temperance was seen as a women’s issue and excessive drinking as the cause of familial problems like domestic violence, marital discord, family breakups, and abused, disturbed, and unhappy children.4 Most religious and civic leaders agreed that drinking was a social evil, among them Black leaders who saw alcohol historically as a means to control Blacks and render them incapable of insurrection or protest and as a contemporary source of much pathology in the Black community.5 Soon, it became clear that Prohibition was impossible to enforce in a city of immigrants and immigrants’ children, from countries that accepted the tavern and the bottle in the cupboard at home as integral parts of community and family life. In fact, as the United States entered World War I in 1918, anti-immigrant feeling was embedded in the Prohibition movement, directed against Germans who dominated the brewery industry. (The Bronx was home to several large German-owned breweries.)6 4.

Prohibition in The Bronx 17 On the other side of the social divide, New York was a convention center (federal Prohibition agents routinely canvassed upscale hotels when a convention was in town), a tourist attraction, and a playground of the idle rich, celebrities, and celebrities’ acolytes. It was also dominated by a wealthy, native elite unwilling to accept limitations on its accustomed leisure style.7 Police officials and judges were not sanguine about enforcement. In August 1921, a Brooklyn magistrate called Prohibition “a joke.” The New York Times commented, “If he meant that liquor is being sold all over the city, and of better quality than offered some months ago, he had made no assertion that is new to the prohibition enforcement agents.” However, the same magistrate made clear that not all the wares that bootleggers and saloon owners sold was better quality when he added that Prohibition “has deprived the poor working man of his beer and it has flooded the country with rat poison.”8 Judge Leopold Prince of the 8th District Municipal Court thought so little of Prohibition that in the same month and year he announced his intention to publicly defy the law. “I defy the police to interfere with me when I am drinking a glass of wine whether it’s in a restaurant or any other place. If they did I have a method which I don’t wish to disclose but which would stop them very quickly.”9 In January 1922, after he sentenced James Grotty, the owner of a saloon on Willis Avenue 7.

Gibbs said, “The attempt to enforce the liquor law in New York City is both ludicrous and disgraceful. . . . This law is in contempt and is bringing other laws into contempt.”10 In his 1923 annual report to the Mayor, Police Commissioner Robert Enright wrote, “The Federal Prohibition laws have neither the support or the respect of the public and efforts of the Police Department to enforce them were met with obstruction on every hand.”11 In 1926, President of the Board of Aldermen and future Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia noted, “Prohibition cannot be enforced for the simple reason that the majority of the American people do not want it to be enforced and are resisting enforcement.”12 IV. Prohibition and Police/Agent Corruption Commissioner Enright did not mention that the “Efforts of the Police Department” were not always focused on enforcement. It is an ages-old, unfortunate fact that when governments attempt to prohibit a commodity, service, or activity for which there is a large market with huge untaxed profits—from alcohol and drugs to prostitution and gambling—not only is the attempt usually a dismal failure but some fraction of law enforcement is corrupted. Bribes for non or lax enforcement and advance notice of raids were common, and it soon became obvious that official 10. “Judge Terms Dry Efforts Ludicrous,” New York Times, January 18, 1922. 11.

Marques, “Prohibition.” Prohibition in The Bronx 19 corruption was enhanced by the investment of legitimate businesses and wealthy individuals in the lucrative liquor trade (sound similar to contemporary drug trafficking?).13 Police and federal agents were known to “liberate” confiscated goods to sell to bootleggers or imbibe—off-duty police officers were not above getting arrested for public drunkenness.14 In 1922, when obliged to return four barrels of wine to a grocery store on East 112th Street because the wine was produced before Prohibition took effect and the grand jury had dismissed the complaint, the police refused.15 In October 1922, police and Prohibition agents acting on their own unofficial behalf, along with about thirty others, invaded a federal repository in a warehouse on West 34th Street and made off with 5,100 cases of whiskey.16 In January 1926, the shrinkage of liquor being transported by federal agents to an army base in Brooklyn “increased alarmingly,” and several Prohibition agents were indicted for selling confiscated “denatured” (poisonous) alcohol to bootleggers.17 (The alcohol may have been poisoned by Prohibition officials, who sometimes tried to discourage consumers by poisoning the industrial-use alcohol that bootleggers had made quasi- drinkable and selling it back to them. This practice resulted in about 10,000 deaths.)18 Just before the 22nd Amendment ended Prohibition in 1933, an off-duty police officer and an accomplice 13. “Indictment of Rum Runner May Be Sought as Walsh Is Linked to Liquor Plot,” Bronx Home News, February 1, 1929; “Officers Say Bronx Man Taken in Rum Raid, Owns Harlem Murder Car,” Bronx Home News, September 27, 1925; and “The Rise, Fall and Rise Again of NYC Speakeasies,” TopView, accessed December 21, 2023, https://www.topviewnyc.com/passes/attraction- passes/the-rise-fall-and-rise-again-of-nyc-speakeasies. 14. “Cut In Dry Force Believed To Be Due,” Bronx Home News, January 29, 1926. 15. “Call Police First, Raid Second Winery,” New York Times, October 27, 1922. 16. “Call Police First, Raid Second Winery.” 17. “Cut In Dry Force Believed To Be Due,” New York Times, January 24, 1926. 18.

They were apprehended in the act of kidnapping, “arresting” him.19 These examples give only a hint of the scale of official corruption. V. The Bronx and the Dutch Schultz Gang Another unintended result of banning a commodity for which there is a profitable market is the spawning of extensive, often international, criminal gangs and cartels that engage in deadly turf wars, corrupting or violently attacking law enforcement personnel. (Predictably, prohibition of alcohol was a windfall to the criminal gangs that were already making goodly profits selling narcotic drugs.)

On October 31, 1931, at the Majestic Garage on Westchester Avenue, eight agents seized three truckloads of beer belonging to the Schultz gang—but not before they were attacked. The glass paneling above a “massive door” was broken with a rock, and a powerful bomb whose explosion shattered the windows of a nearby apartment building was thrown through it. The agents barely escaped.22 Needless to say, Prohibition agents and police officers were not welcome at moments when they forcibly interrupted what most people considered innocent fun (and had for centuries). In August 1931, four Prohibition agents visited Braacker’s Inn, a “roadhouse” on City Island Avenue. The agents encountered a desperate scene. “An orchestra was playing a fox trot when the agents entered and a score of couples was on the dancefloor.” Two agents searched the dining room while two went to the bar, bought drinks, announced they were Prohibition agents, and made arrests. As soon as they did, several men at the bar became abusive, and one of them “whipped out a pistol” and shot an agent in the left thigh. The agents were followed by a crowd with hostile intent as they drove off in two vans with confiscated goods, their wounded colleague, and prisoners. Subsequently, City Island became the scene of intense agent activity, and the next week eight places were raided and 41 arrests made. At one, two vans transporting prisoners and liquor 21. “4 Dry Agents Fail to Pick Assailant,” New York Times, July 13, 1932; “Held in Dry Raid Shooting,” New York Times, October 23, 1931, 20; NYPD 8926a, NYPD Collection, New York City Municipal Archives, in Rosen, Prohibition in New York City, 102; “Stevens and Ahearn, ‘Dutch Schultz Aides, Indicted in Dry Agent Shooting,’” Bronx Home News, April 24, 1932. 22. “Gang Hurls Bomb Among Bronx Dry Raiders Who Escape Blast After Seizing Schultz Beer,” New York Times, October 31, 1931. 22 ED BELLER were pursued by incensed customers. (In fact, a “big booze raid” often attracted an angry crowd.)23 It turned out that the bar patron who shot the agent, Thomas Ahearn, was a lieutenant in the Schultz organization. About two weeks later, the agents, who had beaten Ahearn and pinned him to a wall before he broke away and escaped, were strangely unable to identify him. However, the proprietor John Braacker was sure he was the man.24 In June 1931, a Bronx man, Abraham Rosenberg, who said he was engaged in the scale-making business but in reality manufactured and sold liquor and owned a large warehouse in The Bronx, was found murdered in Queens somewhere between Flushing and Bayside. It was not definitely proven that the Schultz gang was responsible but the police were convinced that Rosenberg was a victim of a feud between liquor traffickers.25 In The Bronx, that meant there was a good chance that the Schultz gang was involved. There is no evidence that the Schultz gang took part in the following Bronx incident but it is nevertheless interesting as an example of a bootlegging operation so large and elaborately planned that the presence of an extensive organization is implied.

Prohibition in The Bronx 23 Hudson, and East Rivers was a favorite bootlegger disembarkation spot. In 1923, a luxury yacht, The Mirage, was “almost awash from the weight of the seven hundred cases of choice brands of whiskey” it carried. Speeding cars along Pelham Parkway aroused suspicion and led police to a dancehall in Throggs Neck, where the cargo, valued at $125,000—about $2,234,000 today—was confiscated and 24 arrests were made.26 Another unintended result of Prohibition—this one redounded to the benefit of bootleggers—was the scarcity of whiskey as a palliative. In 1920, an influenza epidemic struck the city and The Bronx. Whiskey was considered an effective antidote but druggists found it very difficult to navigate the complicated, lengthy procedure needed to procure a state license, and as one article reported, “unlicensed druggists are refusing to fill prescriptions that may mean life or death to the victims of the dreaded disease.” Fordham Hospital officials “admitted with reluctance” that the hospital was without whiskey for several days. But it is a stretch to think that the ill could not find whiskey in the very wet Bronx.27 VI. The Speakeasies New York City was the nation’s largest liquor market, and the Anti-Saloon League saw victory in the intensely resistant 26. “Seize 6 Autos, Boat, Liquor and 24 Men,” New York Times, October 17, 1922. 27. “Urgent Call For Nurses to Fight ‘Flu’ Epidemic; Lack of Whiskey a Handicap,” Bronx Home News, January 27, 1920; “Druggists Wait Vainly For Government Action; Seeking Licenses to Fill ‘Flu’ Prescriptions,” Bronx Home News, February 1, 1920; Okrent, “Prohibition Speakeasies.” 24 ED BELLER cultural, media, and financial capital of the United States as a coveted trophy. But the terrain was unmanageably crowded, with 30,000 to 100,000 speakeasies. (It is estimated that for every legitimate bar that was forced to close, six speakeasies opened.) On one side of the spectrum, these included elegant nightclubs for the upper class, called “Blind Tigers,” with fine dining, tasteful décor, jazz combos, and dancing (the most famous of them, The Stork Club, flourished until 1965). On the other side, “Blind Pigs” were for the lower classes, selling a “cheap and inferior product”—sometimes providing it gratis as a promotion and sometimes featuring animal attractions—with “cheap furniture, peeling paints, well-worn pool tables, and hodgepodge collections of liquor bottles.” “Speaks” were also gambling dens and “disorderly resorts”—brothels.28 In 1923, Enright called them “resorts, dives, brothels and bawdy houses of every description . . . the rendezvous of the criminal and vicious elements of the city.”29 They are also described as “the underbelly of that era, the seamy down-market clubs that served up deadly fights, murders, scams, and robberies.”30 A 1926 photograph in the NYPD collection at the New York City Municipal Archives, for example, shows a well-dressed male 28. “Anti-Saloon League Head Says Yonkers Is Disorderly City,” Bronx Home News, August 8, 1920; Lerner, Dry Manhattan, 4; Marques, “Prohibition”; NYPD 8926a, in Rosen, Prohibition in New York City, 102; Now on view —“Padlocked”: New York’s Prohibition Years | New-York Historical Society, accessed December 21, 2023, https://www.nyhistory.org/blogs/now-on-view- padlocked-new-yorks-prohibition-years; “The Rise, Fall and Rise Again of NYC Speakeasies”; “Voice Through the Door, In Midnight Raid Causes Allen To Be Held For Gambling,” Bronx Home News, July 11, 1920; Ralph Blumenthal, Stork Club: America's Most Famous Nightspot and the Lost World of Café Society (New York: Little, Brown & Co., 2000). 29.

They are havens of refuge for known crooks. Such nightclubs which are must be wiped out.”32 At both extremes there was protection money for gangsters and “see no evil” money for police. VII. Bronx Enforcement It is probably safe to say that the illegal venues in The Bronx, given its working-class, middle-class, low-crime environment (“conspicuous by its absence,” according to the February 1921 Bronx grand jury) did not usually touch on either extreme.33 However, that did not abrogate the likelihood of resistance. Enforcement ran into obstacles within the legal system itself. Bronx courts were critical when it came to the legal right of police, Internal Revenue, Secret Service, or Prohibition agents to enter and search premises, going so far as to condone physical resistance if no warrant was produced. In September 1921, out of 31.

In fact, in New York City, thousands of gallons of wine, whiskey, and beer were illegally confiscated Above: “Policeman Francis O. Rice (left) and William Ornstein (right) doing Guard Duty besides the Green River (Booze) and Real Lager Beer awaiting Governmental Disposition in the W. 152nd St., Police Station. The Wet Goods were found in an automobile near the Police Station by Policeman Rice and the arrest of three men followed.” Bronx Home News, March 4, 1920. Prohibition in The Bronx 27 and then sold to bootleggers or imbibed at Police Department frolics.34 The following interesting comment in the Bronx Home News implies that a little “poaching” by police was not shocking. In 1920, at the 152nd Street Station some recently confiscated whiskey was “hidden from public view probably because of the consideration Commander Day has for the policemen who do the late tour on stormy nights.”35 The relationship between the Bronx grand jury and the Bronx legal system deteriorated to the point that in January 1930 the jury declared its lack of confidence in the District Attorney’s Office and recommended that enforcement be transferred to federal authorities. But federal Prohibition agents were not popular either and were sometimes accused of overly aggressive, even brutal tactics. For example, in September 1922, agents entered a Bronx café as ordinary customers. One claimed to be sick and asked for brandy. When told that the café sold only a non-alcoholic substitute, the agents rushed behind the bar. One of the proprietors objected, and “an example of the methods used by some prohibition agents and revenue men in securing ‘evidence’ was revealed Saturday when two agents entered the café of Becker Bros., 143rd Street and Third Avenue, and while one of the men held Lawrence Becker, one of the proprietors, the other pummeled him into semi-consciousness.” No liquor was found.36 34. “Governor to Blame Enright Tells Jury”; “Grand Jury Calls Enright to Explain”; “Haskell Scores Police,” New York Times, August 25, 1921; and “U.S. Court Holds Revenue Agents Had No Right to Search Bars of Bronx Saloons,” Bronx Home News, March 9, 1920.

In 1920, the Democratic primary opponents of a candidate for District Leader in the 8th Assembly District could not hurl a more damaging insult at him than he was a Prohibitionist. Candidate Barney Lipshay called “the latest move of his opponent which tries to make a prohibitionist of him the most cruel act yet perpetrated.”37 VIII. Bronx Resistance Irish, Italian, Polish, German, and Jewish neighborhoods—The Bronx at the time in a nutshell—were noted for their often angry reactions to the presence of Federal agents and local police in their homes, speakeasies, and saloons. (Saloon owners were particularly hostile since not only were their establishments closed down but because selling liquor was a Federal offense, they were not eligible for bail and did jail time for “maintaining nuisances.”) Shortly after Prohibition began (1920), a saloon owner on Webster Avenue “knowingly used a dangerous weapon,” “two Great Dane dogs growling ferociously,” when a Federal agent went behind the bar to inspect. The proprietor Angelo Delia employed what appears to have been a common Bronx tactic and broke a pitcher containing whiskey on the floor thus destroying the evidence.38 37. “Hot Session in Board of Elections Offices When Lipshay Learns He Is a Prohibitionist,” Bronx Home News, February 1, 1920. 38. “Bronx Men and Women Face Federal Courts Accused of Selling Whiskey to Revenue Men,” Bronx Home News, February 19, 1920; “The Bronx Was Brewing”; “5 Uptown Oases Among 28 Raided in Dry Cleanup,” Bronx Home News, April 26, 1932; “Saloon Keepers Pin Hopes on Fight Before Judge Hand in U.S. Court, Many Close Bars,” Bronx Home News, November 2, 1919; “Whalen’s Raiders Close 60 Places,” New York Times, January 4, 1929. Prohibition in The Bronx 29 In September 1922, when Chief New York City Federal Enforcement Agent Christopher J. Fortman learned that The Bronx was “pretty wet,” ten places were raided. At one, a saloon on East 136th Street, a canine anti-federal agent “weapon” was again front and center when the owner turned his large Newfoundland dog loose on the agents and they were confronted by angry patrons.39 In June 1922, Sunday worshippers were offended: “Churchgoers of the Bronx while on their way to and from services recently have encountered to [sic] many intoxicated persons falling out of saloons that hundreds of complaints have been lodged with the Federal Prohibition Department.” In response, agents posing as longshoremen and dockworkers mounted a Sunday operation. After they bought a few rounds at a saloon on East 136th Street, the owner James Smith—perhaps the same 136th Street saloon and the same owner with the big dog—caught on and employed The Bronx “knock the evidence out of the agents’ hands” tactic. But there was enough left on the floor to collect and arrest Smith.40 (All church worshippers’ complaints should be taken with at least two grains of salt. Wine was permitted for “sacramental” purposes but also tended to appear, as did whiskey, for “little parties” at Bronx churches and synagogues and at fraternal organizations like the Elks Club.)41 39. “Try To Sell Water At $27,000 To Drys,” New York Times, September 17, 1922. 40. “Church Time Picked For Bronx Rum Raid,” New York Times, June 12, 1922. 41. “Elks Club Porter Is Arrested For Theft Of Quantity Of Booze,” Bronx Home News, January 22, 1920; “Four Men Accused Of Sale Of Wood Alcohol As Booze,” Bronx Home News, December 11, 1919; “Rabbi Blind From Drinking Wood Alcohol Tells Pitiable Story In Court,” Bronx Home News, January 8, 1920. 30 ED BELLER In May 1922, the owner of a saloon on Brook Avenue objected to a search by federal Prohibition agents. “Schmidt at once manifested his disapproval of prohibition agents and is said to have gone at them with both fists.” Schmidt was subdued with blackjacks.42 In October 1922, when Federal agents raided a winery in the Italian section on East 149th Street, a crowd of about 500 gathered and in an effort to retrieve the wine attacked and damaged the truck the agents were using to cart it away. “The agents were being hooted and jeered and even threatened.” When the police arrived, the crowd retreated to the roofs of nearby buildings and showered them and the agents with rocks. Police managed to get to the roofs and disperse the crowd.43 “Far in the Bronx” a more passive style of resistance when speakeasies and restaurants were raided and closed was to take the libations outside and “have their ‘whoopee’ in the open.”44 IX. Disguises Of course, the “name of the game” was to avoid the inconvenience of enforcement via the art of disguise. Bronx speakeasies did not operate as openly as some of the elegant haunts of Manhattan’s wealthy. They were “hidden in such out of the way places and restricted to such small areas” that the beautiful old bars of pre-Prohibition glory days ended up as firewood or as counters in restaurants and the spacious saloons were converted to bakeries. When hiding the evidence, 42. “Saloon Man Tamed With A Black Jack,” New York Times, May 31, 1922. 43. “Dry Raiders Stoned From Bronx Roofs.” 44. “Police In New Year Raids On Inns And Speakeasies As City Celebrates,” New York Times, January 1, 1929. Prohibition in The Bronx 31 Bronx bartenders performed “feats of legerdemain that would have daunted Houdini.” One Bronx speakeasy was an insurance office, another was a junk dealership, another a political club, another an athletic club, another a “luxuriously furnished” headquarters of an association of actors and theater producers, another a “lonely, deserted” farmhouse at the intersection of Eastchester and Gun Hill Roads with an “elaborately furnished reception room” for customers. Private Bronx residences (“apartment clubs”) were common covers as were upscale restaurants. Private residences also often hid state-of-the-art distilleries as did garages.45 Some business venues with ostensibly other commercial goals sold liquor: grocery stores, laundries, shoe repair shops, soda fountains, and more. Bronx “bookies” supplemented their betting gains. The enterprising owners of small stores that sold cheap whiskey placed printed lists of prices in neighborhood mailboxes.46 The product was also disguised—for example, as barrels marked “sugar” shipped from Philadelphia and destined for a warehouse 45. “Big Stills Raided In A Bronx House,” New York Times, March 13, 1928; “Club Halts Trial To Accept Padlock,” New York Times, March 18, 1926; “Federal Agents Raid Moonshine Still In 135th St.; Second Illicit Apparatus Taken,” Bronx Home News, November 4, 1919; “Impressive Pre-Volsteadian Bars Pass From Extinct Bronx Saloons To Serve New Uses,” Bronx Home News, April 7, 1929; “Oil Burning Stills Deluxe Are Seized In A $200,000 Liquor Raid In The Bronx,” New York Times, January 16, 1926; “Operator Of Still In Bronx Garage Given Six Days,” Bronx Home News, February 2, 1932; “Police In New Year Raids On Inns And Speakeasies”; “The Speakeasies of the 1920s,” Prohibition, accessed December 21, 2023, https:// prohibition.the mobmuseum.org/the-history/the-prohibition-underworld/ the-speakeasies-of-the-1920s/; “Ruins In Wake Of Still Blast,” Bronx Home News, February 2, 1933; “Smash Iron Doors In Bronx Club Raid”; “30 Taken in Bronx Raid,” New York Times, January 4, 1930; “To Turn Former Saloons in This City Into Mince Pie Bakeries,” Bronx Home News, November 11, 1919; “Whalen’s Raiders Close 60 Places.” “50 Cents Gin and $2 Whiskey Sold In Bronx, Dry Raiders Report,” New 46.

They posed as longshoremen and laborers (“to get into the lower type of speakeasy”), icemen and salespersons.48 In 1920, two agents posed as golfers, played a round at the Van Cortlandt Park course, and “followed the crowd” to the “Nineteenth Hole,” also known as the Van Cortlandt Inn, to have a few drinks and make arrests.49 On a Saturday night in June 1922, a drunk woman bought drinks at a saloon on Willis Avenue in The Bronx, and immediately Messrs. O’Toole and Reardon, who sold to this “drunk” policewoman, were arrested. Her next victim was a street vendor on Third Avenue who smashed the bottles on the pavement. But enough was collected to arrest him. To add to the confusion, Bronx criminals sometimes presented themselves as Prohibition agents and “shook down” unwary drinkers.50 X. Prohibition’s Demise The demise of Prohibition with the passage of the 22nd Amendment in February 1933 was the result of a vigorous political counterattack—in The Bronx there was an active chapter of the Women’s Organization for National Prohibition 47. “Arrest Two More For Liquor Fraud,” New York Times, January 30, 1921; “Seize 500 Barrels Of Beer In The Bronx,” New York Times, January 29, 1921; “Trail ‘Apple’ Load and Seize Alcohol,” New York Times, February 3, 1926. 48. “Speakeasies Wary But Police Press War,” New York Times., January 12, 1929. 49. “Prohibition A Joke, Dale Says On Bench.” 50. “Church Time Picked For Bronx Rum Raid”; “Shot Down in Crowd of 50; — No One Saw It,” New York Times, August 16, 1921. Prohibition in The Bronx 33 Reform—that cited the brutality and violence of the underworld that controlled the trade and the corruption it engendered. Furthermore, the wets claimed that unregulated sales by criminal gangs and the lure of the forbidden had actually increased drunkenness.51 The Depression brought severe demands on government and magnified the significance of the loss of tax revenue. Before Prohibition, 75% of state aid funds received by New York City came from liquor and beer taxes, and the chair of The Bronx anti-prohibition women’s organization made the very salient point that the unprecedented hard times disproved the dry claim that Prohibition fostered self-discipline, frugality, and hence prosperity. Also, basic common sense expressed in countless editorials and politicians’ public statements was critical of an unenforceable law at odds with ages-old customs. Finally, there was strong lobbying from the businesses not connected to underworld criminal networks. The Hotel, Restaurant, Club, and Allied Industries Association advocated for legitimate brewers, distillers, and distributors and the hotels, restaurants, and nightclubs that were engaged in a losing competition with speakeasies. A spokesperson for the Association said, “Sixty percent of the restaurants and hotels are ‘broke’ today and the rest are broke and don’t know it.”52 51. “Bronx Leader Of Women’s Anti-Dry Group Called To Conference Of Advisory Group,” Bronx Home News, February 2, 1932. 52. “Bronx Leader Of Women’s Anti-Dry Group”; “Hotel Association Urges Fight for Dry Law Repeal,” Bronx Home News, March 1, 1932; “Many Phases of Prohibition Are Discussed by Rotarians in Five Ten Minute Speeches,” Bronx Home News, March 3, 1932; “The Rise, Fall and Rise Again of NYC Speakeasies”; Grace Notarstefano et al., “Today in NYC History: How Prohibition Affected New York City,” Untapped New York, January 16, 2014, https://untappedcities.com/2014/01/16/today-in-nyc-history-how-prohi bition-affected-new-york-city/ 34 ED BELLER It never worked in The Bronx anyway, and it is doubtful that The Bronx was any less wet during Prohibition than it was before or after. Maybe it was wetter. One Bronx landlord, annoyed at the suggestion that landlords should contribute more to Depression unemployment relief, was of the opinion that all the gin bottles collected from rent-deadbeat, abandoned Bronx apartments “should bring the relief fund a lot of money.”53 The recent history of laws against mind- and mood-altering substances is a not quite parallel story. Marijuana has followed the trajectory of alcohol. But there is a panoply of narcotic drugs too damaging and dangerous to be permitted open sale. Whether it is possible to effectively prohibit and/or regulate them is an unresolved question. My guess is it is not. 53.

Fitzpatrick, an Irish immigrant age 22, went to work for Mr. Lawrence,1 the owner of a plot of land on the southwest corner of Fordham village.2 Jack stayed with Lawrence for several years; he noted the construction of Lawrence’s new shop in an entry in December 1873. In September 1872, Jack Fitzpatrick and Annie Carrigan were married at Our Lady of Mercy, which at that time held its services in the chapel at St. John’s Seminary, now Fordham University.3 Jack’s sister had died that summer, leaving a son, Edward, whom the newlyweds took in. Their first child, Margaret, “was born in the Pow [sic] Cottage on the Seventh day of September in the year 1873.” Jack “went to live in his own house” at 2498 Webster Avenue in March 1874.

The oldest child was only 15. Jack remarried in 1897. Jack died just two years later, in January 1899, at age 51. Some excitement followed on his funeral, as noted in his obituary. John H. Fitzpatrick, well known master horseshoer, died at his home on Monday. The funeral took place on Wednesday from the Church of Our Lady of Mercy. Father Brady celebrated a solemn high mass of requiem. Delegations were present from Fordham Council, C.B.L.; Division No. 6 A. O. H. of Fordham and the local branch of the Master Horseshoers’ Association. Interment was in St. Raymonds Ceme- tery. After the requiem mass which was held last Wednes- day over the late J. Fitzpatrick, at the Church of Our Lady of Mercy, charcoal remained in the in- cense burner, and one of the altar boys thought- lessly emptied the holder of its burning coals on the sill of the window, and then went home. Sexton Duffy, who happened to enter the church a short time afterward, together with the janitor, found the basement filled with smoke. A hasty search revealed a fire in the vestry. The men in an engine house of the Fire Department, which is next to the church, were immediately notified, and quenched the flames with a fire extinguisher.8 Only three of Jack’s children lived past 30 years. Tuberculosis was one of the three leading causes of death in the U.S. in the years 1900–1922. It is a contagious disease, easily spread from person to person and even through unpasteurized milk.

Horseshoer on Webster 41 was no vaccine or effective treatment for it until after World War II. Untreated, half of the people who developed the disease died.9 In October 1912, Jack’s son, John, Jr., died of tuberculosis. One year later, Jack’s youngest daughter Nell and her two youngest children died of tuberculosis. Caroline, the oldest surviving daughter, married a college athletics coach in 1897. They eventually settled in Detroit. They had three children. Caroline died in 1950, age 73. Jack’s first daughter, Margaret, died in infancy. His third daughter, also named Margaret, joined the Sisters of Charity. In 1900, she was teaching at Holy Cross Academy in Manhattan. She died in Haverstraw, New York, in 1940, age 62. The fourth daughter, Elizabeth, graduated from “Female Grammar School No. 64” in 1897 as attested by the diploma issued by the Department of Public Instruction. Three years later, she married the neighborhood milkman, a German immigrant. They had four children. Elizabeth lived most of her life in the area around Fordham where she grew up. She died in 1959, age 78. Jack, both his wives, and all his children except for Caroline were buried in the old section of St. Raymond’s cemetery. 9.

The school is owned and operated by the Congregation of Notre Dame. For over a century, the Villa has established a reputation for academic excellence, a robust faith life, and an abiding sense of community. The Villa has been an outstanding member of the academic community of New York City, consistently producing capable, ambitious, well-rounded alumni active in the worlds of business and the arts. I. Founding and Early Days of Villa Maria The history of Villa Maria Academy dates back to 1653 when Marguerite Bourgeoys made the decision to leave the security of her native France to teach in Ville Marie, now called Quebec. As her work grew, others came to join her until, in 1700, she founded the Sisters of the Congregation of Notre Dame. The steadfast aim of the Sisters of the Congregation of Notre Dame was to provide for their pupils a thorough Catholic education, to assist them in developing character and self-reliance, to make of them women of education, refinement, and culture. Villa Maria Academy 43 Over two centuries, St. Marguerite’s teaching order spread throughout Canada. In 1886, the Sisters were invited to teach the young women of St. Jean Baptiste, the Canadian national parish in Manhattan. For the next 40 years, the school was located at 139 East 79th Street. In 1917, St. Jean Baptiste, a “finishing school” teaching social graces, literature, French, German, music, art, and embroidery, was widely recognized as “distinctly above average.” Eventually, the growth of the student body necessitated a move to the Ellis estate in the Country Club section of The Bronx. On August 18, 1927, the school was officially transferred to its current site—eight acres with a private waterfront on Eastchester Bay and luxuriant shrubs and shade trees—and the finishing school became a boarding school for the young women of New York City. On May 17, 1958, Cardinal Spellman presided at the dedication of Hall Marguerite, a new building to accommodate the burgeoning elementary wing. In June 1969, the high school’s last class graduated. After 82 years, Villa Maria Academy became strictly a co-educational elementary school. The first elemen- tary class with boys graduated in 1976. St. Marguerite Bourgeoys was canonized on October 31, 1982. The canonization celebrations were matched by the celebrations in 1986, the school’s centennial year. Thirteen hundred students, parents, alumni, and friends came to share memories, to reminisce, and to rejoice in Villa Maria’s vibrant century. II. Villa Maria Today The Academy is chartered by the University of the State of 44 JANICE MASTROPIETRO New York. The courses of studies are in keeping with the best standard of educational institutions. Diplomas awarded to graduates entitle them to enter the New York Training School for Teachers, or any College in the City or State. Throughout this course, the languages are efficiently taught, and French is given special attention. The Villa Building is for the lower grades and contains fully equipped science and technology labs and music and art studios. A large book and media collection is housed in an elegant library in this building. The Great Hall accommodates school- wide liturgies and events. The Junior High School Building is for junior high school students and includes Hall Marguerite, a communal gathering place for meals and events. The Visitation Center is equipped with a regulation-sized gymnasium that Above: Front view of Villa Maria Academy today, located at 3335 Country Club Road in The Bronx. Courtesy of the author. Villa Maria Academy 45 hosts sports tournaments and community youth programs and doubles as a full-size theater. It also has a quarter-mile track, which makes the school a popular host for track-and-field competitions. Extracurricular activities include the National Junior Honor Society, Student Council, Junior High Drama Club, piano lessons, Chess Club, art classes, basketball, baseball, track and cross country, volleyball, tennis, Math Olympiad, Science Fair, and STEM. In short, Villa Maria continues to carry on the rich legacy of rigorous education and religious and cultural formation bequeathed to the school by St. Marguerite Bourgeoys and the Congregation of Notre Dame. 46 JANICE MASTROPIETRO ABOUT THE AUTHORS MARK NAISON, Professor of African American Studies and History at Fordham University, is the c0-founder with The Bronx County Historical Society of The Bronx African American History Project, one of the largest community-based oral history projects in the nation.

New York: Rizzoli International Publications, 2022. 192 pp. ISBN: 9780847872046. $39.95. It is unusual for any book with “New York” in its title to set its sights on any borough but Manhattan, but New York Art Deco breaks the mold to include significant examples of the style in The Bronx, Brooklyn, and Staten Island as well. Only Queens is not represented. Here can be discovered nine significant Art Deco structures in the city’s mainland borough, and not all of them are on the Grand Concourse. Photographer Andrew Garn is known for his fine art and editorial works that have appeared in exhibitions and in books and magazines throughout the world. During the period of the early COVID-19 pandemic, when New York City was in lockdown, he focused his camera on the Art Deco building ornamentation depicting animals, fish, birds, and vegetation. No crowds or traffic interfered with his quest, enabling him to capture close-up views of bas-relief and high-relief sculpture, mosaics, and murals found on building exteriors and in lobbies. In New York Art Deco, they are gloriously reproduced in vivid color, printed on thick, glossy paper. An Introduction provided by Eric P. Nash, who spent 25 years doing research and writing articles for the New York Times and writing books on architecture, provides a brief history of the Reviews 49 development of the Art Deco style from its origins to its various manifestations in combination with Assyrian, Egyptian, Classical, and Mayan motifs. He claims Art Deco had its distant origins in the Art Nouveau style that emerged in France in the 1890s, decades before its historic introduction to the world in the Paris exhibition of decorative arts in 1923. An expression of the sleek look and speed of the machine, Art Deco reached its apogee in New York during the Jazz Age 1920s. This date may be so if one considers only Manhattan as New York. In The Bronx, Art Deco flowered in the era of the Great Depression of the 1930s. There are a few errors found in some of the introductions to each building’s set of photographs. The name of the man who designed the Grand Concourse was Risse, not Riss, and the boulevard is not wider than its model, the Champs Elysées in Paris. It was Horace Ginsbern who co-designed the Park Plaza Apartments on Jerome Avenue, not Horace Ginsberg. These errors are minor, however, compared to the effect of the photographs. Of course, the overwhelming number comes from Manhattan’s office and apartment buildings. Yet, of the book’s opening four pages leading to the title page, the first three are of the lobby mural and exterior mosaic of the Fish Building at 1150 Grand Concourse in The Bronx, which are followed by a fourth page of a bit of decorative sculpture on a building façade at Rockefeller Center in Manhattan. After the Introduction, the photographs are arranged in the order in which each building was constructed. Since the focus of Garn’s photographs is on the ornamentation depicting “Birds, Beasts & Blooms,” the first appearance of such Art Deco decoration in The Bronx is the horses’ heads on the cornice of the building at 101 East 161st Street, erected in 1925. This is only the eighth structure depicted 50 Reviews in the book and the first one outside of Manhattan. Because of Garn’s interest in building detail, there are only a handful of photographs in the book that try to show the entire exterior of any structure. Moreover, none of the edifices that feature simple abstract Art Deco façades are included. Nevertheless, there are advantages to this approach. In the bustle that characterizes life in New York City, people rush past the artistic Art Deco glories that appear on the façades of buildings both famous and obscure. Whether speeding by in a car or rushing by on foot to get to a destination, few take the opportunity to stop and admire these striking works of art that Garn has captured in his photographs. How many people pass by the massive Rainey Memorial Gates at the entrance to the Bronx Zoo on Fordham Road without stopping to examine the intricacies and craftsmanship of sculptor Paul Manship’s Art Deco masterpiece, teeming with all sorts of animal life amid a lush, leafy landscape? With the vivid photographs, any reader can do so in the comfort of home, taking as much time as needed to truly admire a great artist’s work. The same can be said for all of the detailed photographs in New York Art Deco, providing the reader with hours of delight. Lloyd Ultan The Bronx, New York Helmreich, William B. The Bronx Nobody Knows: An Urban Walking Guide. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2023. 472 pp. ISBN: 9780691166957. $27.95. Reviews 51 William B. Helmreich, a Distinguished Professor of Sociology at the City College of New York, who passed away of COVID-19 in 2020, has written a rather unique book to be called a “guide” in The Bronx Nobody Knows. It is at once both more and less than that. Nor is it Helmreich’s first attempt at the genre, having produced The New York Nobody Knows and books with similar titles focusing on Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens before taking on The Bronx. He had just about completed the manuscript about the city’s mainland borough when he contracted his fatal illness. The effort was completed by his widow. In this volume, Helmreich asserts that he has walked the length of every street in The Bronx with his wife by his side looking into every nook and cranny seeking to come across the unexpected. He divides The Bronx into 35 neighborhoods to organize his narrative. In most cases the boundaries that he sets are arbitrary since the limits, and even some of the names, of almost all Bronx neighborhoods have not been definitively set. Nevertheless, this organizing principle enables him to create a series of walking tours that can be followed easily by his readers. While Helmreich does refer to the major attractions found in The Bronx and to items of historic significance, he does not dwell on them with any great detail. In his walking tours, he stops for a moment at such a site, provides essential information, and then moves on. He does point out buildings whose architecture attracts him, as well as neighborhood shops and local parks he finds interesting. Occasionally, he is able to obtain entrance into the interior of a building and experience a space that is normally closed to the public, such as the space found beneath the central cupola of the former Daughters of Jacob Home on East 167th Street between Teller and Findlay Avenues. 52 Reviews There he discovers a spectacular domed amphitheater that had served as a synagogue until 1979, still in pristine condition. All of this Helmreich vividly describes in detail that seems to bring his discoveries to life. What separates this volume from the usual guidebook is the author’s encounters with residents, shopkeepers, and passersby he meets during his journeys. His word-to-word transcriptions of each conversation is particularly revealing about the attitudes towards their neighbors, customers, and surroundings. They dispel the outmoded myth of The Bronx, showing that its ethnically and economically diverse people are friendly, open, and hopeful. This is perhaps the most important aspect of Helmreich’s book. In his introduction, the author sums up what he finds are the traits and character of The Bronx. They amount to a great hope among its residents and workers, a fascinating history, the borough’s great beauty, a strong sense of community and friendliness, and its many surprises. It is refreshing to find a volume filled with such truth about the borough. Lloyd Ultan The Bronx, New York Hermalyn, G. Geography of The Bronx. The Bronx, NY: The Bronx County Historical Society, 2023. 126pp. ISBN: 9780941980777. $25.00. Geography of The Bronx is best regarded as a love story. The Reviews 53 author lovingly dedicated years to examining the borough on foot, by motor vehicle, by boat, and through written documents. The Bronx is his life’s passion. He is unshakably and unapologetically a lover of all things Bronx. To be fair, the borough has been overshadowed for too long, and this book is overdue, and Hermalyn, if anyone, is the person for rectifying that. In The Bronx is found the southernmost canal of the Erie Canal System, planned for 112 years, and finally completed in 1939. The Bronx is also the home of Potters Field. Among the million buried there, lie many scarcely remembered veterans dating back to the Civil War. At the other end of the spectrum is Woodlawn Cemetery where, in contrast, some of the most internationally famous jazz musicians have been interred alongside New York’s rich and famous. Physically, The Bronx is a hill country with an elevation of some hills as high as 200 feet. On the western ridge on a two- acre stretch are the columns and busts celebrating the Hall of Fame for Great Americans. The Bronx remembers them all. Ancient history goes way back if you only know where to look. The last Ice Age visited the area, depositing huge boulders and even islands in its wake. One of them, Hart Island, served as an installation site for Nike missiles in the twentieth century. Work on the Bronx River Parkway altered the Bronx River, and now one side of one stretch of the river has moved to Westchester while the other is still in The Bronx. In the 1600s, the area was the homestead for Jonas Bronck, a Swede with a land grant from the Dutch West Indies Company. 54 Reviews Today, the borough is home to millions and, surprisingly, still has room enough for a variety of wildlife. And so it goes. It is all there still to be discovered and uncovered anew. Geography of the Bronx makes a great companion to show you where to look. The book is well illustrated and beautiful enough to be displayed on a coffee table. Douglas Lazarus Middlebury, Vermont Jonnes, Jill. South Bronx Rising: The Rise, Fall, and Resurrection of an American City. Third edition. Forward by Nilka Martell. New York: Fordham University Press, 2022. 608 pp. ISBN: 9781531501211. $34.95. South Bronx Rising, first published in 1986 as We’re Still Here, is well regarded as a history of The Bronx and its tumultuous twentieth century, where housing abandonment and government disinvestment led to the nadir of The Bronx, with many predicting the outright demise of New York City’s only mainland borough. Jonnes is a journalist by trade, and South Bronx Rising appropriately chronicles and gives voice to the numerous Bronx residents, activists, and grassroots organizations that saved the borough from destruction. The third edition, retitled South Bronx Rising in the second edition released in 2000, focuses on new challenges in the Reviews 55 borough and a rising generation of activists, Bronxites, and community leaders combating the perils of gentrification, “upzoning,” and the old blights of slumlordism and government inaction. While the earlier editions of South Bronx Rising highlight older organizations like the Northwest Bronx Community and Clergy Coalition and their struggles against redlining and exploitative landlords in the 1970s and 1980s, Jonnes now amplifies the twenty-first century struggles of Bronxites worried about gentrification, ecological devastation, and poverty. The upshot of these fears is an increasingly vocal and effective generation of activists, exemplified by people like Nilka Martell, founder of Loving The Bronx and an impassioned advocate for “capping” (i.e., covering the below-ground sections of) the Cross Bronx Expressway as a way to minimize pollution and rectify the sickness traffic pollution has caused in The Bronx’s “Asthma Alley.” Ecological concerns loom large for this new generation of activists. The Bronx River Alliance, a nonprofit founded to restore and combat pollution of the Bronx River, had a herculean task, given the once squalid conditions of the river in the South Bronx. Amazingly, the river has bounced back from industrial pollution due to the efforts of the Alliance and other organizations, who have championed volunteer litter and debris pick-up to save New York City’s only freshwater river. Jonnes shows the fiery debates gentrification has spurred in the borough, contrasting the perspective of groups like South Bronx Unite and CASA (Community Action for Safe Apartments), who view any incipient signs of gentrification as a menace, with a view, championed by former Bronx Borough President Rubén Díaz, Jr., of investment and new business in 56 Reviews The Bronx as an overall boon for all Bronxites. While perhaps only time will tell which vision will most benefit the borough, a dose of skepticism is certainly warranted about the supposed benefits of gentrification in The Bronx, especially given the exorbitant rents charged in new luxury apartment buildings such as “Bankside” along the Harlem River in Mott Haven. The exodus of long-time residents from historic Black neigh- borhoods like Crown Heights and Flatbush in Brooklyn is merely one of a litany of examples of displacement via gentrification. The most common refrain from the excellent interviews Jonnes conducted with Bronxites is an intense and justified fear of economic pressure, as many Bronx residents are rent-burdened, meaning 50 percent or more of their income goes towards rent. In a lengthy afterword on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on The Bronx, Jonnes testifies to the indomitable spirit of The Bronx during a once-in-a-century event. The Bronx had the highest totals of Covid-19 deaths of the five boroughs, 70 percent of its workforce was deemed essential, and it remains the poorest borough in New York City. The unsettling photos of breadlines at soup kitchens in South Bronx Rising evoke the darkest recent days of the borough, but Jonnes sees reasons for optimism. Her rousing conclusion notes the intensification of organizing and civic awareness in the wake of the pandemic. It is this solidarity that Jonnes sees as the greatest asset of The Bronx, one that will allow it to overcome.

College and Career: Henry Street and Bronx Regional Subject The topic of the resource Ross, Suzanne Description An account of the resource In this recording, part of a larger video memoir project, lifetime activist and educator Suzanne Ross speaks about her time as a psychologist at Henry Street Settlement and at Bronx Regional. From Suzanne: "After having spent five years underground, I now resumed my open identity and got a job as the school psychologist at the Henry Street School for Learning Disabled and Emotionally Disturbed Students (part of the prestigious Henry Street Settlement on the Lower East Side of Manhattan). The school was not well organized, and was located in the basement of a housing project. Though some teachers were very dedicated and effective, the mental health services were inadequate for the population, and I felt the students were underserved. I came into conflict with the administration, and was fired when I refused to have one of its students thrown out, something that could not happen without my signature. I fought the exclusion of the student, and when she was reinstated as a result of my reporting the school to the proper agencies, I was fired. A legal battle ensued, with my representation by the New York Civil Liberties Union, and a dramatic student struggle, I won a significant legal battle. The school was subsequently closed. When my husband and I separated, I was suddenly faced with a low income, a 5 year old daughter, and the need to provide my child not only with a roof over her head, but education, health care, etc. The only place I could think of to obtain all these quickly was the Board of Education. I got a job immediately as a school psychologist and began working the following Monday. Bored and angry at the limitations of the Board of Ed’s bureaucracy and repressiveness and knowing that I would soon probably be fired, I chose to transfer to a less bureaucratic part of the Board of Ed. I got a job at an alternative high school, meant for students who had dropped out of school or had been kicked out and were trying to return. I loved teaching these kids but resumed my pattern of raising “uncomfortable” questions. The school was run by progressive white educators, mostly former members of the Communist Party. No sooner was I hired that the principal told me of a yearly trip they sponsored for select students, trips to where? To Israel! I was shocked and immediately questioned the validity of such a trip. The principal told me not to worry, they went to the “good parts of Israel”. I promptly called a Palestinian activist friend, to proceed on getting this part of the curriculum cancelled. Another confrontation with the school focused on a visit I arranged with Dhoruba Bin-Wahad I was accused of undermining education as the students, (2/3 of whom were regularly truant) did not want to return to their regular class that day because they were so immersed in the subject of the visit. Shortly after that incident I was transferred out of the school, again rushed out and told never to come back. The students were told I had gotten a better job!"

College and Career: Time at Lehman, Part 4 Subject The topic of the resource Ross, Suzanne Description An account of the resource In this recording, part of a larger video memoir project, lifetime activist and educator Suzanne Ross speaks about her time teaching at Lehman College in the late 1960s and early 1970s, part 4 of 4. From Suzanne: "After the Columbia experience, I began teaching at Lehman College, and spent the next five years completely immersed in radicalizing the students I worked with, and disrupting regular activities at the college. The focus was on demanding that attention be paid to the racism on campus in hiring, firing, and curriculum, and on opposing the war in Vietnam, insisting that the college take an active role in addressing the horrors of that war. I left Lehman, having been rejected for tenure, the simplest way to fire faculty. After a long battle by the students, along with many prestigious supporters such the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU), Congresswoman Bella Abzug, Professor Martin Duberman and many college teachers across New York City, we lost the battle to reinstate me. I did not want to continue the union appeal and the NYCLU appeal as they both involved considerable bureaucratic effort and I was more interested in street and movement action. I, therefore, instead, went underground with Weather."
