SUMMARY:Site Unseen Podcast: Beryl Thurman and the North Shore Waterfront
DESCRIPTION:Site Unseen takes listeners into the Staten Island Museum’s collections to see how documents\, photos\, and objects illuminate local history. Audio shorts bring together present-day advocates\, policymakers and historians\, to retell\, reveal\, and amplify site-specific stories. \nEpisode 2: Beryl Thurman and the North Shore Waterfront\n \nStaten Island Museum · Site Unseen: Beryl Thurman and the North Shore Waterfront\nAs industries sprouted up on the Kill Van Kull\, Staten Island’s economy became ever more linked with the rest of the region – a link that was strengthened with the construction of the Bayonne Bridge\, which opened in 1931. Beryl Thurman’s work explores the extent to which the remnants of this industrial age still impact the residents who live along the Kill today. \n“The more you know about your environment\, the better advocate you can be for Staten Island. And that’s what Staten Island really needs\, it needs more advocates\, it needs more people that think through the process.” \n– Beryl Thurman \nAbout Beryl Thurman \n \nBeryl Thurman is originally from Cleveland\, Ohio\, she is graduate of Baldwin Wallace University where she majored in Art\, and is a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. \nShe is a founding member of the North Shore Waterfront Conservancy of Staten Island\, Inc. In 2005 the same year that Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans\, Beryl became the executive director/president of NSWC. From that point on she combined the research that she had done on the waterfront contaminated sites with realities of living in a waterfront community that is extremely vulnerable to Climate Change’s sea level rising\, storm surges and flooding. From 2005 until present NSWC has dedicated its efforts by attempting to fast track the remediation that are needed for these contaminated waterfront sites on Staten Island’s North Shore to protect the Environmental Justice communities that are behind them. She authored two Environmental Justice booklets: “Staten Island’s Gold Coast: 5.2 miles from St. George to Arlington” and “Shore Up: Community Resilience and Adaptation.” \nClick here to read the Show Notes.

SUMMARY:Book Talk: The Sustainability Myth
DESCRIPTION:Free with museum admission\nRegistration required \nTo join this program virtually\, please email Rylee Eterginoso to receive the zoom link. \nJoin Dr. Melissa Checker for a discussion around her award-winning book The Sustainability Myth. Focusing on industrial waterfronts and historically underserved places like Harlem and Staten Island’s North Shore\, Dr. Checker takes an in-depth look at the dynamics of environmental gentrification while highlighting the valiant efforts of local environmental justice activists (such as Staten Island’s Beryl Thurman) who work across racial\, economic\, and political divides to challenge sustainability’s false promises and create truly viable communities. \nYou can listen to Episode 2 of the Site Unseen Podcast: Beryl Thurman and the North Shore Waterfront to learn more about the extent to which the industrial age still effects the residents who live along the Kill Van Kull today. \nUpdated Visitor Information: All visitors ages 5 and older must show proof they have received two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine for admission to the museum\, in accordance with NYC requirements. Visitors over 18 will also be asked to show photo ID. Face coverings are required for all over the age of 2\, even if vaccinated.
