Sat., Jan .11, 1 PM. Tutti Bravi, a local theater company, presents, “Patriots or Loyalists? Remembering the Neutral Ground of Westchester during the American Revolution”. This will be a series of re-enactments, monologues, with original scripts, bringing to life the stories of people who struggled with torn loyalties -- sometimes dividing families -- during America’s fight for independence. Several of the historical characters portrayed are buried in the historic cemetery at St. Paul’s.

Monday, Jan. 20, 1 PM. Prof. Kristopher Burrell, of Hostos Community College/CUNY, explores the civil rights struggles and triumphs of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in recognition of the national holiday. Dr. Burrell’s publications include a chapter on Ella Baker and Mae Mallory’s efforts to ameliorate racial inequities in the NYC public schools in The Strange Careers of the Jim Crow North: Segregation and Struggle outside of the South (New York University Press, 2019). He is currently working on a study of New York City’s civil rights movement titled Outsmarting Racism: New York's Black Intellectuals and Theorizing Northern Racism, 1945-1968.
