Lower East Side Tenement Museum's Blurbs

About me:
.. .. .... .. ..

The Tenement Museum does many things, but what we focus on is the tenement at 97 Orchard Street (pictured left). Located on Manhattan's Lower East Side, this tenement was built in 1863 to house some of the immigrants who were pouring in to the city. Over the next 70 years, 97 Orchard was home to @ 7000 immigrants and migrants.

In 1935, the landlord evicted all the tenants and shuttered the building's apartments. In 1988, the Museum's founders stumbled on 97 Orchard Street. Realizing they had found an amazing window in to New York's past, they began preserving and restoring the building. Today, the Museum gives guided tours of the restored homes of the building's residents.

Journalists for Mumia Abu-Jamal	Nov 21 2007 3:26 AM Greetings, Thanks for adding us. Your support is much appreciated. What do you think of these newly discovered crime scene photos (viewed at Abu-Jamal-News.com)? I have been personally contacting every media outlet I could find and still the mainstream media has completely ignored the story. Many independent media outlets have covered it, but the only independent outlet that has actually published one of the photos is the national Black newspaper, The SF Bay View (click here). This is just the latest episode in a long history of corporate media bias (and arguably racism) towards Mumia and other political prisoners. In Solidarity, Hans Abu-Jamal-News.com

Miss V	Sep 8 2007 4:51 AM all she had was a gun and a reason to run away.
Culture for Non-Cultured Meetup (noncultured.com)	Sep 9 2007 5:05 PM That was a fantastic group tour on Thursday! The whole group of 25 people really enjoyed it -- 9 people rated it 5 out of 5 stars! You can read all the comments here: http://culturecircle.meetup.com/3/calendar/6100699/, but here's one sample: "The tour was fascinating and very well led by the guide. It was a diverse, friendly and very lively crowd. I was also struck by the number of people who knew each other from other events Sheryl has organized- a good sign of the health of the club. We also happened upon a great Italian place a couple of blocks away. Thanks, Sheryl." Sheryl Culture for the Non-Cultured www.noncultured.com "Culture with Friends You Haven't Met Yet"

NIKOLAY	Aug 12 2007 11:22 PM SPARTACUS (PART) “STARTACUS” (initially “THE LAST W”) blood and acrylic on canvas, 40"x 60" was created at January 6-7, 1994 when artist Nikolay Moltchanov purposely cut the middle finger off his left hand to create this painting. First solo exhibition of “THE LAST W” happened at March 1994 in “Middle East” cultural center, Cambridge, MA “I just tried my best to prevent all this ugly bloody mess that is going on right now…” Nikolay explained in 2005. In the year of 2003 “THE LAST W” was renamed as “SPARTACUS”. The words on the Cross on the painting (on top) say: “My God, My God Why did You abandon Me?” Nikolay’s own poetry on the front of painting (bottom left) says: “…He did knock on the door, He did try to go in but you were too busy to open for Him…” Nikolay’s own poetry on the back of painting says (in English): …I am a God. You killed me before and as you can see: I am alive. I did not die yet but already, right now I have been born anew. And if one day you see my body is not moving, do not hastily say: “So, he is dead,” because at that very moment I shall be standing among you. And I shall be the last one of Your Civilization to die. But then, after no living soul remains on this planet, I shall be the First born to conceive a New Civilization. Because I am a God… (in Spanish): ...Soy un Dios. Ya ustedes me mataban y pueden ver: Estoy vivo. No he muerto todavia, pero ya, ahorita he nacido de nuevo. Y si un dia ven que no se mueve mi cuerpo, No digan tan pronto "El esta muerto" Porque en ese momento Estare entre ustedes. Y sere el ultimo de Su Civilizacion, a morir. Despues de que ningun espiritu viva, en este planeta, Sere el primer nacido quien da la luz a Una Nueva Civilizacion. Porque soy un Dios...

Brooklyn College Library	May 10 2007 11:45 PM The International Council of Museums tells us that International Museum Day falls in May. In honor of this event, the Brooklyn College Library MySpace profile will be encouraging our visitors to explore museums and what they have to offer. We also are honoring you with one of our Top 8 positions on our profile! Visit us frequently this month as our profile takes shape. Thanks, as always, for being a friend and for being there to help libraries preserve our culture. “Freedom to learn is the first necessity of guaranteeing that man himself shall be self-reliant enough to be free. Such things did not need as much emphasis a generation ago, but when the clock of civilization can be turned back by burning libraries, by exiling scientists, artists, musicians, writers and teachers; by disbursing universities, and by censoring news and literature and art; an added burden, an added burden is placed on those countries where the courts of free thought and free learning still burn bright. If the fires of freedom and civil liberties burn low in other lands they must be made brighter in our own.” Franklin D. Roosevelt Found in The Columbia World of Quotations 1996 Information for all, from The Brooklyn College Library
