This illustrated lecture with Kate Lemos McHale, Director of Research at the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission, looks at NYC history through a selection of landmarks and historic districts that reflect the contributions and achievements of significant people and groups.
New York City’s diversity is its greatest strength, essential to its significance as a thriving cultural, intellectual, artistic, and economic center. Designated landmarks and historic districts protect and preserve the city’s significant architecture and buildings that embody and connect us to important history and culture.
Ms. Lemos McHale highlights significant places associated with Native American, African American, Latino, LGBTQ+, women's, and immigrant history, acknowledge the challenging history of prejudice and discrimination, and help us understand and appreciate the richness and diversity of our city's heritage.
