SUMMARY:'Yes\, And' - artists' panel | Impact and Inspiration: The Life of James Zappalorti
DESCRIPTION:To view the recorded talk\, click the video on the right. \nDonations welcome \nThis discussion centers on the memory of Staten Islander James Zappalorti and the ways in which his unfortunate death created and continues to inspire social change. It also addresses the current alarming trends of violence against LGBTQ+ people specifically impacting transgender and gender non-conforming people in New York City and across the country. \nJoin Yes\, And artists Terry S. Hardy (who created the James Zappalorti Memorial Mandala) and Paul Moakley (who is working on a documentary short about James to be released in 2023)\, James’ brother Robert Zappalorti\, and NYC Anti-Violence Executive Director Beverly Tillery – in conversation with selection panelist Ed Woodham – followed by a Q&A. \nFrom the LGBT Historic Sites Project (www.nyclgbtsites.org): \nBrooklyn-born James “Jimmy” Zappalorti (1945-1990) was a Vietnam War veteran who grew up in the neighborhood of Charleston on Staten Island’s South Shore. On January 22\, 1990\, he was murdered near his home because he was gay. The highly publicized murder became the borough’s first officially-designated gay hate crime and helped lead to New York State’s first hate crimes bill\, which passed in 2000. \nJimmy Zappalorti on graduation from Recruit Training Center\, Great Lakes\, Illinois\, 1963. Courtesy of the Zappalorti family. \nAbout James Zappalorti:\nJames “Jimmy” Zappalorti (1945-1990) was a disabled Vietnam War veteran who grew up in the neighborhood of Charleston on Staten Island’s South Shore. On January 22\, 1990\, he was murdered near his home because he was gay.

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:Podcast: Site Unseen - Draft Riots
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 1: Draft Riots\nIn this episode public historian and policy analyst Debbie-Ann Paige will lead us on a harrowing journey along Staten Island’s north shore in the path of the Civil War Draft Riots which gripped New York City in July of 1863. \n \nStaten Island Museum · Site Unseen | Episode 1: William Olliffe’s Diary\nDebbie-Ann Paige’s research illuminates how the Civil War Draft Riots on Staten Island targeted historically Black neighborhoods and abolitionist enclaves on the North Shore. Using William Olliffe’s diary as a point of reference\, Paige will explore the contemporary political and economic tensions between pro- and anti- slavery factions and Black and immigrant laborers that led to the Draft Riots in the mid-19th century on Staten Island. \nThe riots rose in response to Congress’ Conscription Act\, which mandated the first wartime draft in US History. The law made men between the ages of 20 and 45 liable to go to war. However\, a man could avoid the draft by paying a fee or hiring a substitute to fight in his place. The act did not apply to African American men who were not considered citizens. In New York\, the white\, mostly Irish and Irish-American working class\, who could not afford to pay to avoid military service\, felt the burden of the war fell unfairly on their shoulders. During the riots they took their anger out on the draft officials\, the pro-war and anti-slavery press\, white\, often wealthy\, abolitionists\, and most viciously on Black New Yorkers\, leaving death and destruction in their wake. \nAs you will hear\, the Conscription Act provided the spark in a powder keg of existing economic and racial tension in New York City and throughout the entire war-torn nation. Throughout the episode\, Debbie-Ann Paige weaves this overarching narrative in and out of the stories of Staten Islanders who were targeted by the rioters. Christopher Franz reads a firsthand account of the riots by William Olliffe who worked at the Tompkinsville ferry landing during the Civil War and kept a diary documenting his experiences. His diary is housed in the Museum’s collection. \n*Note: This episode contains depictions of graphic violence. Listener discretion is advised. \nDebbie-Ann Paige\nDebbie-Ann Paige is a public historian specializing in local African American history\, a co-president of the newly chartered Richard B. Dickenson Staten Island Chapter of the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society (AAHGS) and professional genealogist. She has worked on numerous local history projects including: In Pursuit of Freedom with the Brooklyn Historical Society; Women of the Nation Arise! and From Farm to City with the Staten Island Museum; and the designation of the Louis Napoleon House as a site to freedom with the National Park Service Underground Railroad Network on behalf of the Sandy Ground Historical Society. \nAdditionally\, Debbie-Ann is a policy analyst with the Council of State Governments Eastern Regional Conference working with state policymakers on issues relevant to veterans’ affairs and staffs the organization’s new initiative Council on Communities of Color (CCC). She has also served as an advisor to the Daniel Society\, Center for Law and Justice. \nChristopher Franz\nChristopher Franz is Chair of the Department of History & Social Sciences at Monsignor Farrell High School.

SUMMARY:Super Science: Animal Tracks
DESCRIPTION:Which way did they go? What kind of animal was it? When were they here? Animal tracks help us answer these questions and provide information about the world around us. Join us to make your own tracks in homemade playdoh\, enjoy a collection spotlight featuring our favorite animal feet\, and an experiment using kinetic sand to capture and examine backyard animal tracks. \nThis fall\, Super Science will be hosted by guest scientist Ashley Gary\, The Wildlife Host! \n \n  \nAshley Gary is a science communicator known online as The Wildlife Host (@thewildlifehost). Since 2018 she has been sharing her love and passion for wildlife with her community on both Instagram and Twitter. Along with sparking curiosity in people about the natural world\, she also promotes positivity and following your dreams. It was following her dreams and forging ahead that lead to the creation of The Wildlife Host brand and the opportunity to reach thousands of people with the message of appreciation and stewardship of the biodiversity around us.
