United States

In case you missed it, the U.S. Census Bureau released population estimates that suggest New York state could lose a seat in Congress as a result of the 2020 Census. We can’t afford to lose federal funding or representation, so it’s vital that we encourage as many New Yorkers as possible to do their civic responsibility and participate in the 2020 Census. Please join my office, the Interfaith Center of New York, eMgage, and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture for a town hall for Harlem’s diverse faith communities on the importance of the census and how we can achieve a complete count. Thursday, January 30, 6–8 pm at the Schomburg Center, 515 Malcolm X Blvd. RSVP here to attend.

6:00 pm: Celebrate the Harlem Renaissance & Toni Morrison at our Black History Month

February 12, 2020 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm

We’re doing something a little unusual for this year’s Black History Month event. We’re inviting local leaders to read favorite passages from the African American writers, poets, folklorists and others who, by their creative output, helped create a golden age in American arts: the Harlem Renaissance. In addition, we will have a remembrance of Toni Morrison, the Nobel and Pulitzer prize winning novelist, essayist and professor. Space is limited, but please join us by RSVP-ing here: blackhistorymonth2020.eventbrite.com or by calling my office at (212)669-8300. Wednesday, February 12,2020, 6 – 9 pm at MIST Harlem, 46 W. 116th St.

3:00 pm: Women’s History Month open house.

March 1, 2020 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm

It’s 100 years since the suffragists prevailed on August 26, 1920, passing the 19th Amendment guaranteeing women the vote. Crystal Eastman, a founder of The Masses and The Liberator, spoke the truth when she said in December that year: “Now we can begin.”
We’ll be celebrating the centennial on the 19th Amendment as part of Women’s History Month at an open house in my office, along with the NYC Dept.of Records and Information Services (the official archives of the city) and the group Monumental Women.
We’ll have short presentations on women’s history at 3:00, 3:30, 4:00 and 4:30 pm. What’s more, James Boylan and Betsy Wade have created “Suffrage History Guide to Lower Manhattan,” identifying the heroes whose links to local sites remind us of brave deeds of a century ago. Everyone attending will get a copy!
Refreshments will be served. 1 Centre Street, 19th Floor South. Space is limited. Please RSVP at manhattan_womens_history.eventbrite.com or call (212)669-8300.
