Do You Know the Way to Basquiat’s Grave?

Green-Wood Cemetery Is Final ZĞƐƟŶŐ WůĂĐĞ ĨŽƌ >ĞŐĞŶĚĂƌLJ ƌƟƐƚ

By Lore Croghan Brooklyn Daily Eagle

This would be a good time to make a pilgrimage to Basquiat’s grave in Green-Wood Cemetery.

The legendary artist, who died of an accidental drug overdose in 1988, is on New Yorkers’ minds these days.

Work he painted in collaboration with Andy Warhol is on display in a blockbuster retrospective of the latter’s art at the Whitney Museum in the Meatpacking District.

Jean-Michel Basquiat, who grew up in Boerum Hill, was the coolest of the cool kids in 1980s New York City.

He was a Neo-Expressionist powerhouse.

Brilliant. Beloved. Tragically addicted to heroin. Dead at age 27.

Now he rests in peace beneath a plain granite headstone that says “Artist” and a blanket of autumn leaves in Brooklyn’s famous cemetery, which was established in 1838.

When you head off to seek his grave marker in the hilly, 478-acre landscape, it’s helpful to have a printed map of the premises. You can pick one up at Green-Wood.

If you’ve previously visited the cemetery, you probably made your entrance through the main gates on Fifth Avenue at 25th Street in Greenwood Heights. They are landmarked and Instagram-worthy.

But when you’re looking for Basquiat’s grave, you’ll have an easier time of it if you start your stroll at Green-Wood’s Fort Hamilton Parkway gate.

Do You Know The Way to Basquiat’s Grave?

Continued from page 2 The gatehouse on Fort Hamilton Parkway is also landmarked and Instagram-worthy.

Heavenly Hosts and the Wizard of Oz On Border Avenue — which is where you’ll walk first — you’ll see angel statues all over the place.

Some are on tall pedestals. Others stand at ground level on eye-catching monuments or guard the doorways of dignified mausoleums.

As you proceed towards Basquiat’s grave, you turn down Grape Avenue. Where it intersects with Fir Avenue, there’s an ominous cloaked figure made of bronze.

It’s Azrael, the Angel of Death.

It is crouched over the grave of Charles Schieren, who was one of Brooklyn’s mayors in the 1890s while Brooklyn was an independent city.

Solon Borglum is the artist who sculpted the dramatic statue. His brother, Gutzon Borglum, is the sculptor who carved the U.S. presidents’ faces on Mount Rushmore.

Back in Green-Wood Cemetery, one of the most notable graves on Grape Avenue is that of actor Frank Morgan. He played the Wizard

Morgan died in 1949.

His tombstone is inscribed with his real last name, which is Wuppermann.

A Bottle of Colt 45 and Other Tokens of Remembrance Next, retrace your steps on Grape Avenue to Woodlawn Path. Basquiat’s grave is located about halfway between Woodlawn Path and Mistletoe Path. When you see a cluster of tall pine trees, you’re getting close.

The day of this reporter’s visit, admirers had left tokens of remembrance for the artist including a 40-ounce bottle of Colt 45 malt liquor and an artificial plant decorated with the message “Not Forgotten,” plus cigarettes, a lighter and a handwritten note.

After you pay your respects to Basquiat, there are many other iconic gravesites to see — more than you can visit in a single day.

Green-Wood closes at 5 p.m. this time of year.

The cemetery is the final resting place for other art-world stars such as stained-glass designer Louis Comfort Tiffany and composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein. Notable political leaders, Civil War veterans and New

Yorkers who died in the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center are also buried there.

Party Time at Niblo’s Mausoleum One magnificent sculpture near Basquiat’s grave is a bronze angel with a swirling robe who stands atop a monument for Charles D. Valentine. He died in 1901.

The sculptor, Adolfo Apolloni, later became the mayor of Rome, where there’s now a street named after him.

South of the Valentine angel, there’s a stunning mausoleum William Niblo built in 1852 as a tomb for his late wife and other family members. It has a pair of eye-catching lion statues at its front entrance.

Niblo frequently visited the mausoleum and held parties and picnics there. He stocked a nearby pool called Crescent Water with goldfish to entertain his guests.

Niblo knew a thing or two about entertaining. He owned Niblo’s Garden, a vast Manhattan venue with an open-air saloon and an indoor theater with 3,200 seats.

Niblo died in 1878. Niblo’s Garden continued to operate until 1895.

Sunset on Battle Hill Near Green-Wood’s main entrance, there’s

a landmarked Gothic-style chapel designed

by Warren & Wetmore that’s an architectural treasure.

Warren & Wetmore also designed Grand Central Terminal.

Of course, you’ll want to take photos of the cemetery’s Gothic Revival-style main gates.

Distinguished architects Richard Upjohn and his son Richard Michell Upjohn designed them in the early 1860s. Today, if you look closely, you’ll see parrots nesting in the spires above the gates’ double arches.

If time permits, you should climb up Battle Hill, which was a key site during the Revolutionary War. At its summit, an iconic statue of Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom and war, commemorates Colonial American soldiers’ valor during the Battle of Brooklyn.

The bronze statue raises her hand in a salute to the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor — a gesture that echoes Lady Liberty’s, who holds up a torch symbolizing enlightenment.

As winter approaches and the days grow shorter, it’s possible to photograph Minerva at sunset and still leave Green-Wood before closing time if you don’t dawdle.

NEIGHBORHOOD NEWSBEAT W’burg Hotel Hoxton Caters To Trendy Younger Clientele WILLIAMSBURG — The Hoxton, a new hotel at 97 Wythe Ave. in Williamsburg, is a fashionable venue for “Generation Laptop,” basically meaning twenty-somethings who are digitally connected most of the time, according to The New York Times. The hotel is a short walk from McCarren Park, the Museum of Food and Drink, the Music Hall of Williamsburg and other local attractions, the Times says.

However, the Hoxton is not cheap. A room for two people cost $350 for the Sunday

night of holiday weekend, according to the Times. This includes a phone with free international calls, a view of Manhattan, a flip-down desk, designer-patterned linens and a selection of books “curated by our own HoxFriends,” as the hotel’s website says. The only negative the Times found with the hotel was with the food. The rooftop bar-restaurant, Summerly, was found to have “a limited menu,” but a restaurant on the ground floor, Klein’s, won praise for its offerings.

City to Release Industrial Zoning Plan for North Brooklyn GREENPOINT-WILLIAMSBURG — The city’s Department of City Planning is scheduled to release a plan to encourage taller commercial buildings in its North Brooklyn Industrial Business Zone, which stretches from Greenpoint to Bushwick along Newtown Creek. The city’s draft report would allow slightly taller, denser buildings and dramatically reduce parking requirements for new and expanded buildings, according to Commercial Observer.

The area has been home to heavy manufacturing for many years, but light-industrial tenants such as 3D printing services, film studios and furniture makers have been moving to the area in recent years. In parts of the neighborhood, some landlords have begun pushing out industrial firms with the aim of selling to office or hotel developers, Commercial Observer reports. Manufacturing firms, developers and planners have been pushing to reform industrial zoning in the city for many years, Commercial Observer says. They say the low-density zoning requirements for manufacturing created in 1961 have stymied development – especially the rules for parking, which takes up too much space on already small lots.

Mayor Bill de Blasio and the City Planning Department originally promised to study the North Brooklyn Industrial Business Zone in 2015 and to come up with a plan by the end of 2016.

Brannan Called Driving Force Behind Bay Ridge Blue Wave BAY RIDGE -— Some observers are crediting Councilmember Justin Brannan, who was a member of two rock bands before he entered politics, as the driving force behind the recent Democratic electoral surge in Bay Ridge. Brannan started the Bay Ridge Democrats political club in 2010, “a time when no one thought the area would go blue,” according to the New York Post. Brannan is also credited as being key in getting labor union support for

Democratic candidates.

Earlier this month at the polls, Democrat Max Rose ousted Republican U.S. Rep. Dan Donovan, and Democrat Andrew Gounardes ousted longtime Republican State Sen. Marty Golden. “[Brannan] threw everything he had behind making sure we won both our primary and general election,” Rose, whose district includes parts of southern Brooklyn and Staten Island, told the Post.

TV Program Shows Off Pricey Home In Heights, With Help of Marching Band BROOKLYN HEIGHTS -— Brooklyn Heights, with its expensive brownstones, is a natural location for Bravo’s “Million Dollar Listing New York.” The show filmed an episode on Tuesday at 15 Willow St., a 25-foot-wide townhouse that is now being sold for $8.99 million. The Brooklyn Express Drumline, a marching band, played inside and outside the house while TV crews filmed the episode, according to the

New York Post.

The house, which is being sold by “Million Dollar Listing” star Ryan Serhant, is actually being sold at a “discount” – its asking house was $14.15 million back in 2016, the Post reported. The home comes with six bedrooms, four bathrooms, two powder rooms, high ceilings, herringbone hardwood floors, three fireplaces and an elevator, the Post said. Its wine cellar boasts space for 300 bottles.

Photographer Shows That Brooklyn Life Wasn’t Only Drugs, Gangs, Fires in ’70s, ’80s GRAND ARMY PLAZA -— The Brooklyn Public Library is currently hosting a retrospective of vintage Brooklyn photographs taken by Larry Racioppo. More of Racioppo’s photos, from the years from 1971 to 1983, are collected in his recent book “Brooklyn Before,” Racioppo, who lived in various apartments in Park Slope and Sunset Park during those years, presents a wide panorama of Brooklyn life, ranging from local churches to Prospect Park to Coney Island.

Gothamist points out that the book proves that the image many outsiders and younger people have of those years -— that the city’s life was dominated by gang fights, robberies, drugs, fires and building abandonment -— is quite exaggerated. Indeed, according to Gothamist, many of the best-known photos that have contributed to such an image were taken in a few days following the blackout of 1977.

When Racioppo, who had gone away to college, returned to the borough in 1970, he rented an apartment at 15th Street and Sixth Avenue for $125 a month. He was able to support himself there by working a few days a week as a cab driver and by being a photographer, Gothamist said. While many changes have been for the better, Racioppo said one of the most negative changes in the city has been the increasing difficulty of getting good jobs with relatively little education and of finding affordable housing.

The retrospective is being shown at the Brooklyn Central Library at Grand Army Plaza through Dec. 29.

Brooklyn Museum to Open Exhibit On Famed Mexican Artist Frida Kahlo EASTERN PARKWAY -— The Brooklyn Museum plans a major exhibit on the life and work of famed Mexican artist Frida Kahlo beginning Feb. 8, 2019. The exhibition will feature Kahlo’s artworks as well as her clothing, jewelry and other personal items, according to Gothamist. It is titled “Appearance Can Be Deceiving” after one of her drawings that shows the physical disabilities that she usually hid beneath her colorful blouses and skirts.

The exhibit will also cover Kahlo’s visits to New York City, Gothamist said. She came here with her husband, muralist Diego Rivera, in 1934 when Rivera was commissioned to paint an ill-fated mural at Rockefeller Center (the mural was destroyed when Rivera refused to remove an image of Vladimir Lenin). She returned to the city in 1938 for a solo show at the now-closed Julien Levy Gallery in Manhattan.

“Appearances Can Be Deceiving” will run through May 12 of next year.

Our Lady of Grace Welcomes Santa to Annual Christmas Fair

BY MEAGHAN MCGOLDRICK MMCGOLDRICK@ BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM

Gravesend got into the giving spirit the weekend before Thanksgiving as Our Lady of Grace hosted its annual Breakfast with Santa and Christmas Fair on Saturday, Nov. 17 and Sunday, Nov. 18.

The event took place in the parish’s school gym, located at 385 Avenue W. The weekend fair was chock full of activities including vendors selling new and used items, a breakfast and pictures with Santa, raffles, and hot and cold food and desserts.

“It was great,” said organizer Mary Ann De Luca, lending thanks to the local Boy Scouts as well as the parish school’s students who helped decorate the space for the holidays. “I think people look forward to it every year.”

De Luca also gave a shout-out

to Faith Formation Director Phyllis Norinsky who decorates the space’s tree “better than Rockefeller Center.”

That, coupled with the handmade decoration from students, De Luca said, help to tie the event together.

“Not only does it look nice but, since it's done by them, it’s really special if the kids or the parents come in,” she said.

“When you walk in, it’s a nice homey look.”

The event — which does phenomenally well for some of its vendors — holds a special place in De Luca’s heart, and so do its usual participants.

Scenes from the Our Lady of Grace Christmas

“Some vendors come all the way from Staten Island, and some have even been with me since 2001,” she told this paper.

De Luca began putting together the annual fair in 2001 after the death of the previous

organizer.

“I took it over because I really didn’t want the event to die,” she told this paper. “It’s just really special.”

This year’s breakfast saw almost 100 children, she added.

A Symbol of Hope to Shine with Added “Star” Power 6:30 P.M. • SATURDAY, December 8th

Charlie Romo

Sacred Hearts – St. Stephen R.C. Church 125 Summit Street – Corner of Hicks Street BROOKLYN

On December 8th, 2018 one of Brooklyn’s most visible churches, Sacred Hearts – St. Stephen, will turn on a giant five foot star atop its two hundred and ten foot tall steeple to mark the coming Christmas Season as rising singer Charlie Romo entertains. The church steeple is seen by thousands of drivers who travel daily along the BQE – Gowanus trench north of the Gov. Hugh Carey Tunnel. The Steeple is also the only church steeple still visible from the Brooklyn Bridge and numerous other points along New York Harbor.

The Christmas Star and four strands of LED lights each over two hundred feet in length will grace the 140 year old facade of the gothic church until the end of the Christmas Season in January.

Under the direction of the Pastor, Rev. Msgr. Guy Massie, the tradition, begun in the 1950s, will continue this year with added star power thanks to the generous offer of Charlie Romo to lend his voice to the night’s count down festivities starting the un-official Christmas season. The young and talented Romo, who has been likened to Bobby Darin, Dean Martin and Michael Buble, offered to provide a concert of time honored holiday songs this year after reflecting on his many childhood memories of seeing the star every time his parents took him to Manhattan during Christmas time. Romo recalled, “as a child seeing the star atop Sacred Hearts – St Stephen tower

as we drove through Brooklyn to Manhattan at Christmas was an essential part of our annual family pilgrimages to see the Rockefeller Christmas Tree, the Rockettes at Radio City and the giant nativity scene at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Being able to be there to turn the star on this year and be joined by the outstanding choirs of the historic Sacred Hearts – St. Stephen Church is a moment of coming full circle for me as my childhood memories meet my present.” At the ceremony concert the star will be turned on for the first time this season and will also include the children, youth and adult choirs of Sacred Hearts – St. Stephen Church. Crowds will be entertained with time honored classic carols as well as holiday favorites made famous by Frank Sinatra, Elvis and Burl Ives.

Parish Pastor, Msgr. Guy Massie, has said, “lighting the Star of Hope this year with the help and energy of such a great young talent as Charlie Romo is just another thing that makes Brooklyn so special. Our parish community displays this Star as a reminder to all that in this big city the light of the Star shines for the Hope of Peace found in the songs we sing and the prayers we hold deep in our hearts.”

Following the lighting refreshments will be served in the church lobby for all the community to enjoy.

Where: Park Slope/Old Stone House (336 3rd Street) BROOKLYN: A NEW HOME, A NEW LIFE As they watched the Trump administration’s Muslim ban and subsequent restraining orders move closer to the Supreme Court, outgoing Teen Council Members

identified immigration as the timely and broad topic for 2018. In responding to their mandate, 2018 Council Members analyzed how concepts of “us” and “them” lead to stereotypes of immigrants and considered how race and immigration have intersected differently across eras. They sought to strike a delicate balance between the range of immigrant experiences across time, culture, and individual life trajectories.

Council members grappled with ongoing, unifying themes related to living away from the land of one’s birth— language, cultural fluidity, code switching, and American immigration law and policing. The resultant exhibition, Brooklyn: A New Home, a New Life, features stories about historical Brooklynites: Harriet Judson, John Roebling, Nathan Handwerker, and Shirley Chisholm, as well as Ravi Ragbir, a contemporary immigration activist. The people featured are not all immigrants, but each represent a different lens into the story of American immigrants, and show, without a doubt, how Brooklyn has been shaped by the many international ties within its vibrant and varied communities When: Wednesdays-Sundays through May 2019, 12 – 5 p.m.

Keep Your Brain in Shape With Better Hearing

By Dr. Suzette Xie, Audiologist

H

earing loss can lead to many difficulties in everyday situations. The ability to understand a speaker can depend on factors other than hearing sensitivity. A normal hearing listener would struggle in a situation with background noise, competing signals, and lack of visual or contextual cues.

These effects are magnified for a listener with impaired hearing.

As approximately 37.5 million Americans suffer from hearing loss, according to the American Academy of Audiology (AAA), here are some common signs of hearing loss to look out for:

Dr. Sal Saleh, Au.D., CCC-A: New York State licensed audiologist and hearing aid dispenser. He currently holds his audiology clinical competency certificate (through the American Speech Language Hearing Association). Dr. Saleh earned his Doctorate in Audiology from the University of Florida.

1) constantly asking for repetitions 2) feeling that others are either speaking softly or mumbling 3) difficulty hearing at a party or in a restaurant 4) missing parts of a word or sentence 5) turning up the television volume Photos courtesy of SUNY Downstates

Unmanaged hearing loss can lead to a higher risk of isolation, social withdrawal, anxiety, depression, fatigue, memory loss, and is shown to have a higher correlation with the development of dementia. A study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society has found that the rate of cognitive decline was slowed by 75% following the use of hearing aids to manage a hearing loss. While cognitive decline cannot be stopped, this rate of reduction is considered to be significant and substantial.

It is important to remember that hearing loss can affect our pediatric population as well. Universal newborn hearing screenings (NBHS) are now mandatory for all newborns. Early detection and intervention of hearing loss in newborns is essential in promoting speech, language, social, and cognitive development.

The University Physicians of Brooklyn (UPB)-Brooklyn ENTAudiology Division offers a variety of audiological and electrophysiological testing, including comprehensive diagnostic audiological evaluation and hearing tests for adults and children, auditory brainstem response testing, balance assessments, newborn hearing screenings, and hearing aid evaluations and fittings through N.Y.

BEDFORD-STUYVESANT

Take a Stroll on Marcy Avenue, Part One

By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn

A Montrose Morris mansion and a NYCHA project where Jay-Z grew up.

You can find both on Marcy Avenue.

This historic road leads through the heart of BedfordStuyvesant and into Williamsburg.

It’s an excellent avenue for an autumn walk. Wear your fingerless gloves. You’ll want to take snapshots of landmarks like Romanesque Revival-style Boys’ High School at 832 Marcy Ave. and Queen Annestyle 232 Hancock St., which was designed by the beloved architect Montrose Morris.

We’ve split our stroll into two parts since we can’t fit everything we want to show you into a single story. This is Part One.

‘To the Victor Belong the Spoils’ According to the book “Brooklyn by Name” by Leonard Benardo and Jennifer Weiss, the avenue is named after William Learned Marcy.

The 19th-century politician’s career included service as a U.S. Senator from New York and three terms as New York’s Governor. And he was the U.S. Secretary of State under President Franklin Pierce in the 1850s.

Marcy has a place in the history books especially because of a phrase he inspired, which is “the spoils system.”

In an 1832 speech, he said, “To the victor belong the spoils of the enemy.”

He was referring to newly elected politicians’ practice of rewarding campaign workers by appointing them to government

Welcome to Marcy Avenue, where you find eye-catching landmarks like Boys’ High School. INBrooklyn photo by Lore Croghan posts. This happened a lot in the United States until after the Civil War, an “Encyclopedia Britannica” posting says.

‘Mathematical Star’ and Romanesque-Revival Rowhouses We started our walk where Marcy Avenue ends, which is on Fulton Street in Bed-Stuy.

At the outset of our journey, we saw a nifty piece of public art — Ellen Harvey’s marble, ceramic and glass mosaic called “Mathematical Star,” which is embedded in the concrete pavement of Marcy Plaza.

The circular mosaic, which is 20 feet in diameter, resembles a quilt. The quilt pieces are patterns inspired by the architectural details of 18 neighborhood sites.

Marcy Avenue runs through the Bedford Historic District, which the city Landmarks Preservation Commission designated in 2015.

There are eye-catching 19thcentury brownstones and ornate brick rowhouses on nearly every Marcy Avenue corner of these landmarked blocks.

For instance, conjoined brick homes at 117 and 119 Macon St. have a barrelshaped window bay and arched doorways. According to the Landmarks Preservation Commission’s designation report about the Bedford Historic District, Levi Fowler & Son designed the houses in a combination Romanesque Revival-Renaissance Revival architectural style and built them in 1894.

City Finance Department records indicate that an LLC with Joseph Anscher as a member bought 117 Macon St. for $1.8 million last year, city Finance Department records show. He heads a realestate development business, his LinkedIn profile says.

The city Buildings Department recently issued a renovation permit for 117 Macon St.

adjacent row of shorter neoGrec brownstones at 104 to 110 Macon St. Amzi Hill designed and constructed them in 1886 and 1887.

He and his son Henry Hill worked together as architects in Brooklyn during the second half of the 19th century. Neo-Grec is the architectural style for which Amzi Hill was best known.

Nearby on the corner of Marcy Avenue and Hancock Street, you can find the Montrose Morris-designed mansion that we mentioned at the beginning of this story. Next to it, there’s a row of Queen Annestyle brick rowhouses that Morris designed as well.

Advance Australia Fair On another Marcy Avenue corner in the historic district, there’s a Romanesque Revival-Renaissance Revival house at 272 Jefferson Ave.

that Dixon Advisory USA has renovated and turned it into a single-family home.

This brownstone was built in 1889.

The property owner is a unit of an Australian realestate investment firm that has been purchasing and rehabbing rowhouses in historic Brooklyn neighborhoods.

Dixon bought 272 Jefferson Ave. from “the people of the state of New York, by the grace of God, free and independent” — that’s the wording on the deed — for $1,632,946 in 2013.

It previously housed a nonresidential state Office of Children and Family Services facility.

Three Cheers For James Naughton Nearby there’s landmarked Boys’ High School, which we mentioned earlier. It was built

in 1891.

The brick and terra cotta school, which has frontage on Putnam Avenue and Madison Street, looks like an enormous castle with a supertall tower on one corner of it.

The spectacular building now serves as a home to charter schools.

The school’s designer, James Naughton, was the Superintendent of Buildings for the Board of Education of the City of Brooklyn.

“An Architectural Guidebook to Brooklyn” by Francis Morrone says Naughton was born in Ireland and educated at the University of Wisconsin and Cooper Union.

Another individual city landmark, St. George’s Episcopal Church, is located at 800 Marcy Ave. on the corner of Gates Avenue.

BEDFORD-STUYVESANT

Take a Stroll on Marcy Avenue, Part One

This house, which was designed by Montrose Morris, is located at 232 Hancock St. on a Marcy Avenue corner.

This handsome apartment building is at 643 Marcy Ave. on the corner of Pulaski Street.

This is 117-119 Macon St. on the corner of Marcy Avenue.

Continued from page 22INB Richard Michell Upjohn designed the Victorian Gothicstyle house of worship.

He was a gifted architect in his own right and the son of revered church designer Richard Upjohn. Their most important contribution to Brooklyn’s built environment is their joint design of GreenWood Cemetery’s magnificent main gates.

As for St. George’s, it was established in 1869, its website says. Early church buildings were in other locations.

The landmarked Marcy Avenue building’s cornerstone was laid in 1887. The first worship services took place in 1888.

A Park Whose Name Was Changed On our stroll up Marcy Avenue, we passed Tompkins Park — actually, that was its original name.

It was rechristened Herbert Von King Park in 1985 to honor a neighborhood activist, a Brownstoner.com story by Suzanne Spellen says.

Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux designed the eight-acre park in 1871, the story notes.

This famous duo designed Central Park and Prospect Park.

Rowhouses on the streets bordering Herbert Von King Park are especially beautiful. One standout among

them is 660 Lafayette Ave. on the corner of Marcy Avenue.

The Romanesque Revival house was built in the 1880s — and starting in 1901, it was the home of the Rev. Livingston L. Taylor, the pastor of the nearby Puritan Congregational Church, a posting by Matthew X. Kiernan says.

Kiernan, who owns New York Big Apple Images, has taken wonderful architectural photos throughout the five boroughs.

A block away from 660 Lafayette Ave., there’s a stand-alone house at 175

Kosciuszko St. that’s clad with an eye-pleasing combo of metal panels and wood planks.

According to Finance Department records, the house belongs to an LLC with Meshulam Hass as a member, which bought it for $726,000 in December 2016.

The house is now on the sale market. The listing agents are mTkalla Keaton, Reginald Richardson and Shani O’Neal at real estate brokerage Compass.

Brooklyn Historical Society Launches Unprecedented Oral History Project Chronicling Lives of ‘Muslims in Brooklyn’

Historical Society/photo credit Maggie Shannon

The Brooklyn Historical Society (BHS) will soon launch a multi-year flagship project, Muslims in Brooklyn.

This collection of oral histories is an unprecedented, first-of-its-kind resource that chronicles the extended saga of Muslim Brooklynites in a permanent, searchable, user-friendly digital archive.

Fifty oral histories will be made available to the public on an online listening portal which shares the long, varied history of the highest concentration of Muslims in any geographic area in the United States. The project will launch at a ceremony on Thurs., Dec. 6.

The “Muslims in Brooklyn” project includes a web-based educational curriculum, educational and public programming, an arts-focused exhibition and dedicated segments on Brooklyn Historical Society’s podcast, Flatbush + Main.

This launch of the oral history portal is the first component of the ambitious initiative in progress.

“The oral histories in this collection challenge what we think we know about Muslims in Brooklyn and America at large,” says Zaheer Ali, BHS’s oral historian and Muslims in

Brooklyn project director.

“In their own voices, each of the 50 narrators offer uniquely personal accounts of their lives rendered in rich textured detail that defy any flattened portrayals of Muslims, and indeed transcend religious identity,” Ali went on.

“Their fears, courage, disappointments, hopes, and most of all deep abiding love for and pride in their families, communities, neighborhoods, and city reveal life experiences that are shared universally.”

Conducted over the course of a year, the 50 oral histories that constitute the Muslims in Brooklyn collection capture the numerous ethnicities, nationalities, neighborhoods and occupations of Muslim Brooklynites.

Those interviewed represent a variety of backgrounds including African American, Yemeni, Egyptian, Palestinian, Moroccan, Lebanese, Pakistani, Kashmiri, Bangladeshi, Tatar, Haitian and Puerto Rican.

Narrators for Muslims in Brooklyn represent 18 neighborhoods in Brooklyn, reflect varying approaches to religious observance in different traditions of Islam, and also represent a spectrum of occupations including religious leaders,

medical professionals, community organizers, homemakers, business owners, laborers, musicians, students, educators, artists and activists.

“Those of us who worked to build the ‘Muslims in Brooklyn’ project have received untold hospitality, generosity and encouragement from the people who shared their oral histories with us,” says Liz Strong, Muslims in Brooklyn public history project coordinator. “They worked hard to represent their lives honestly, and they believe in the importance of sharing their experiences for others to hear, learn from, take comfort in, or be inspired by. It has been an honor to work with them, and we will not shy away from our responsibility to steward their life stories in that same spirit.”

BHS will mark the release of the Muslims in Brooklyn oral history archives with a public listening party on Thurs., Dec. 6 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at BHS, 128 Pierrepont St. The oral history collection will be made accessible via brooklynhistory.org/muslimsinbrooklyn on Thurs., Dec. 6.

Accompanying public programs, exhibitions, K- 12 curriculum and segments on Flatbush + Main will continue through 2019.

North Brooklyn Angels Coalition Celebrates its Volunteer Force

The North Brooklyn Angels hosted its first annual “Thanks For Giving” event to celebrate volunteers in the community.

Local volunteers have driven the wildly successful mission and growth of the North Brooklyn Angels to serve almost 1,000 hot meals a week to communities throughout North Brooklyn.

Teams of volunteers run and cook meals out of a dedicated commercial kitchen designed by celebrated restaurant owner Josh Cohen.

This event brings volunteers together to share their experiences with community members who are learning about how to get involved, all while learning about the North Brooklyn Angels’ mis-

sion and upcoming opportunities.

The Angel’s formal name, the North Brooklyn Coalition of Neighbors Helping Neighbors, is a coalition of nonprofits, neighborhood groups, community organizations, religious groups, churches, mosques, synagogues, tenant associations and businesses that support the idea of working collectively to combat hunger and food insecurity in North Brooklyn.

The Nov. 20 celebration was hosted at Shrine Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish Hall.

Thousands Packed Dedication Mass Of Brooklyn’s New Maronite Church

Religion Editor

“Thousands Attend Dedication of Maronite Church on the Heights” was the headline on the religion section of the Brooklyn Eagle from Nov. 27, 1944. This sanctuary was formerly the Church of the Pilgrims (featured on this page last week in a history piece about the 50th jubilee of the Rev. Dr. Richard Salter Storrs as pastor of that congregation.)

The Eagle story began, “A new page in the centuries-old church history of Brooklyn, in its familiar history as ‘the City of Churches,’ was opened yesterday when the former Congregational Church of the Pilgrims, at Remsen and Henry Sts., was dedicated as the new Our Lady of Lebanon R.C. Church of the Maronite Rite.”

At that point, the writer may not have clearly understood that the church is actually the Eastern Rite (rather than the Roman or Latin Rite) of St. Maron.

“Solemn and colorful ceremonies marked the dedication by the Most Rev. Raymond A. Kearney, S.T.D, the Auxiliary Bishop of Brooklyn.

Several thousand individuals attended and many hundreds, unable to gain places in the crowded pews, stood or knelt during the two and one-half hours of services at which Bishop Kearney presided.”

The Eagle article continued, “The transition of the history of the church, which makes it the religious home of hundreds of Brooklyn families whose ancestors came from what is now the Republic of Lebanon, lying between Syria and Palestine at the eastern end of the Mediterranean, was called ‘an epic poem of the Land of

Popular German Folk Singer Brings Early Christmas to Brooklyn Heights

By Francesca Norsen Tate Religion Editor

Coverage of the Maronite Church dedication, from the Mon., Nov. 27, 1944 issue of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle From the Brooklyn Eagle archives the Free,’ by the Rev. Dr. Thomas J. McMahon, national secretary of the Catholic Near East Welfare Association, who delivered the sermon.” Fr. McMahon reflected on Isaiah 35:2, extolling the “glory of Lebanon” and “beauty of Carmel and Sharon.”

(Editor’s Note: In 1944, what is now the State of Israel (established in May, 1948) was still called Palestine.)

“The superstar of folk music,” German bass Ronny Weiland comes to Brooklyn Heights on Mon., Nov. 26 for a Christmas concert at Zion German Evangelical Lutheran Church.

Zion Church’s Pastor Klaus Gress welcomes the entire neighborhood to the free 7 p.m. concert, which will feature themed songs of the season. (Voluntary donations are welcome.) Afterwards, attendees will enjoy Christmasstollen and Gluewein for refreshment.

Weiland grew up and was educated in Apolda, German Democratic Republic, where he showed early musical talent, and played the flute. He trained as a stone mason and sculptor, and performed in the army music corps.

Weiland experienced the start of his singing career while performing at a birthday party. He then studied voice at the Franz Liszt Academy Weimar. His first solo concerts followed in 2005. He recorded the first CD on “Bach Recording.”

Since 2006, he has appeared at festive events and also experienced first German national appearances together with other folk music artists.

ON NOV. 19, 1919,, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported, “London — Great Britain and France are considering whether they are not compelled to proceed with the carrying out of the German Peace Treaty and the operation of the League of Nations independently of the United States, pending the decision of the American Government on its course. It is pointed out that matters are continually arising under the treaty which need immediate attention, such as the operation of the various plebiscite commissions, and it is considered that because of this fact it is no longer possible to delay making the pact operative. The opinion strongly prevails here that Great Britain will not accept any reservations made by the United States Senate which would necessitate the negotiation of a new treaty, as the British Government, it is declared, has every present intention of abiding by the decisions of the Paris conference.  ON NOV. 19, 1925, the Eagle reported, “Cairo, Nov. 19 (AP) — The condition of the mummy of Tutankhamen has been found to be such that it will be impossible to remove it from its gold coffin, Drs. [Douglas] Derry and Saleh Hamdi announced today in a report on the unwrapping of the mummy, which has occupied seven days. The experts announce that the mummy is firmly glued to the bottom of its gold coffin with a dried pitchlike material. It will also be futile to attempt to make X-ray pictures on account of the numerous layers of gold, faience and other materials covering the body to the knees.  ON NOV. 19, 1938, the Eagle reported, “A special prayer for all victims of racial and religious persecution, stressing the plight of Jews in Germany, will be offered today and tomorrow by millions of Catholics, Protestants and Jews at religious services throughout America. The supplication, a plea for surcease from ‘cruelty and persecution, imprisonment and exile,’ has been written in connection with the Day of Prayer sponsored by the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America and the National Conference of Jews and Christians. Bishop Thomas E. Molloy of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn has instructed the priests of the diocese to pray for the world’s afflicted, and the directors of the Brooklyn Church and Mission Federation have also endorsed the day of prayer.”

You Should Know This • Like casinos, shopping malls are intentionally designed to make people lose track of time, removing clocks and windows to prevent views of the outside world. This kind of “scripted disorientation” has a name: It’s called the ‘Gruen Transfer’.

• Sears used to sell build-your-own homes in its mail order catalogs.

• In the late 1800s in Corinne, Utah, you could buy legal divorce papers from a vending machine for $2.50.

• Cyber Monday is not the biggest day for online shopping. The title belongs to November 11, or Singles Day, a holiday in China that encourages singles to send themselves gifts.

ON NOV. 20, 1947, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported, “(UP) — Princess Elizabeth today spoke a tremulous ‘I will’ in ancient Westminster Abbey and with those words the future Queen of Britain became the wife of the newly created Duke of Edinburgh ... Despite postwar austerity and slate-colored skies, it was the most brilliant occasion Britain had known since the days before the war ... A million persons lined the historic streets of London — the Mall, Whitehall, Trafalgar Square and Parliament Square — for the spectacle ... The wedding ceremony was carried by radio to every part of the British Empire, as well as to the United States, while television and movie cameras recorded the occasion. Twenty-seven kings, queens, princes and princesses of the ruling houses of Europe, all the ambassadors accredited to the Court of St. James, statesmen and the great of many lands were present.”  ON NOV. 20, 1915, the Eagle reported, “A desecration of the American flag by workmen engaged in repainting the walls of the main corridor of Borough Hall was discovered and indignantly stopped by officials of the borough government yesterday afternoon. In order to protect oil paintings of former mayors of Brooklyn hanging on the walls, the painters covered them with large American flags. The drops of paint fell, not upon the pictures, but upon the Stars and Stripes. Thomas King, watchman in the building and a veteran of the Civil War, was the first to notice the insult. He rushed into the Borough President’s office and also notified the Board of Aldermen in their room nearby.”

Brooklyn Eagle cover from Nov. 15, 1948

ON NOV. 21, 1944, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported, “Paris, Nov. 21 (U.P.) — Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower said today the only sensible course open to the German Army is to fight to the bitter end west of the Rhine. Eisenhower suggested inferentially that he expected the final battle of the European war to be fought west of the Rhine, where six Allied armies were waging the Allied grand offensive and hammering the Nazis back along a 400-mile front. But the battle will not be easy, the supreme commander warned at a press conference.

To win the victory and peace, he said, “We’ve got to fight like hell for it. Now let’s do it.”  ON NOV. 21, 1921, the Eagle reported, “Rome, Nov. 21 (AP) — Pope Benedict XV today appointed the Rt. Rev. Thomas E. Molloy, D.D., Bishop of Brooklyn, succeeding the late Bishop McDonnell. The Pontiff made the appointment at a secret consistory in the presence of all the cardinals living in Rome ... Although Bishop Molloy’s rise in the church has been exceptional, his qualifications for the high position to which he has been appointed have been widely known and recognized by those familiar with his student and priestly life. In fact, it is said of him that his eligibility for promotion was recognized in Rome sooner than it was discovered here, because of his high standing as a student at the American College, where he studied for the priesthood and where he captured the highest honors in theology and philosophy. His personality, together with his scholarship, stamped him as one of the most remarkable students at the seminary and won for him honors that created a lasting impression among his teachers and the seminarians of all nationalities preparing for the priesthood at Rome.”

Fun Facts about the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade:

• The characters balloons debuted in 1927, three years after the first annual parade and included Felix the Cat. The parade was halted during World War II. Due to rubber and helium shortages, Macy’s canceled the parade from 1942 to 1944. The company deflated its rubber balloons—which weighed 650 pounds total—and donated them to the government.

You Should Know This • The “Macy’s Christmas Parade” debuted in 1924 as a way to celebrate the expansion of Macy’s flagship Manhattan store, but it was initially intended to theme Christmas and to attract customers to their famous holiday window displays.

AILY EAGLE BOOK BEAT

Sigrid Nunez’s Novel ‘The Friend’ Wins National Book Award At NYC Ceremony

By Hillel Italie, AP National Writer The Associated Press

Sigrid Nunez’s “The Friend,” a meditative novel about grief, books and, not least, a Great Dane named Apollo, won the National Book Award for fiction last week. Other winners included Jeffrey C. Stewart’s “The New Negro: The Life of Alain Locke” for nonfiction and Justin Philip Reed’s “Indecency” for poetry.

During a ceremony and dinner benefit at Manhattan’s Cipriani Wall Street when those honored had roots throughout the world, from Peru to Japan, Elizabeth Acevedo’s “The Poet X” won for young people’s literature, and Yoko Tawada’s “The Emissary,” translated by Margaret Mitsutani, won for translation, a category newly revived.

Nunez’s book tells of a woman mourning the death of her literary mentor and of her bond with the dog he left behind. It is a story, in part, of connection and distance. And Nunez, author of such previous novels as “Salvation City” and “The Last of Her Kind,” noted in her acceptance speech that she didn’t seek community when she became a writer, but unexpectedly found it.

“I thought it was something I could do alone and hidden, in the privacy of my own room,” she said. “How lucky to have discovered that writing books made the miraculous possible, to be removed from the world and be part of the world at the same time.

“And tonight how happy I am to feel a part of the world.”

Nunez’s novel was chosen from among five fiction works set mostly in the present, and touching with lyricism and intensity upon everything from race and sexuality to climate change. Finalist Jamel Brinkley, author of the story collection “A Lucky Man,” told The Associated Press that “Our lives vibrate with uncertainty and mystery, with paths precariously taken or not taken, and they are often under threat by one thing or another. Many of our lives are under threat by design.”

Lauren Groff, a nominee for the story collection “Florida,” said that “In these frightening and fraught times, I had to come into the full certainty that art was meaningful enough for me to devote my heart to it.”

&ƌŽŵ ůĞŌ͗ :ĞīƌĞLJ ͘ ^ƚĞǁĂƌƚ͕ ŝĂŶĂ <ŚŽŝ EŐƵLJĞŶ͕ :ĂŵĞů ƌŝŶŬůĞLJ ĂŶĚ ^ĂƌĂŚ ^ŵĂƌƐŚ ǁĞƌĞ ĂŵŽŶŐ ƚŚŝƐ LJĞĂƌ͛Ɛ EĂƟŽŶĂů ŽŽŬ ǁĂƌĚ ĮŶĂůŝƐƚƐ͘ WŚŽƚŽƐ ďLJ ƌĂĚ ĂƌŬĞƚͬ/ŶǀŝƐŝŽŶͬ W “Parks and Recreation” actor Nick Offerman served as master of ceremonies and soon learned that among the publishing community you’re more likely to get cheers with tributes to reading than with double entendre about “thumb drives.” One popular line: “In an age when our First Amendment rights and truth itself are very much in peril, books remain the ultimate repository of creative ideas and irreplaceable knowledge.”

Honorary medals were given to novelist Isabel Allende and to Doron Weber of the Alfred P. Foundation for its support of books about the sciences. Weber was introduced by “Hidden Figures” author Margot Lee Shetterly, one of hundreds the foundation has helped support. Referring to concerns new and old, Weber called for the protection of “nonpartisan forms of knowledge” and the continued dialogue between art and science.

“We continue to invite scientists and humanists to engage one another,” he said, calling them “two side of the same human impulse to understand and meaningfully describe the world around us and inside us.”

Allende, author of “The House of the Spirits” and many other best-sellers, is the first Spanish language writer to re-

ceive an honorary National Book Award medal. A native of Peru, she has lived in the U.S. since the 1980s and for years was a political refugee from Chile during the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet.

“Although I am critical of many things in this country I am proud to be an American citizen. I have received much more than I ever dreamed of and I have been offered the opportunity to give something back,” she said.

Allende said she has been an outsider, in transit, for much of her life. She spoke of her award as a kind of deed of ownership, a sign that she is home.

“Maybe I’m not an alien after all. Maybe it’s time to plant my roots and relax,” she said. “Maybe I’m not going anywhere, anymore.”

The book awards are presented by the nonprofit National Book Foundation. Judges, who include writers, critics and other members of the literary community, chose from more than 1,600 books submitted by publishers when considering the awards.

Winners in the competitive categories each receive $10,000. In translation, the prize money is divided between the author and translator.

By Andy Katz Special to the Brooklyn Eagle

Paint must still have been fresh when a 12-yearold Betty Smith encountered the treasure of infinite language contained within Brooklyn Public Library’s Leonard Street branch.

The library hosted a very special unveiling recently as elected officials, staff, book lovers and the family of Smith, author of the classic “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn,” gathered to dedicate a plaque in the her honor in the place where she spent countless hours exploring her growing love of reading and literature.

Her family was poor. It’s doubtful they could afford to buy books. But that didn’t matter, because young Smith had a hunger to learn — and a library card. She took what the library had to offer, ultimately transforming it into one of America’s canonical pieces of literature.

Marking the 75th anniversary of her best-

come to commemorate Smith’s romance with both literature and the community’s efforts to bring it to the widest possible audience.

“Brooklyn was, to Betty Smith, the place of possibilities,” said Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams. “What does Betty Smith tell us? That in between all of the brick and mortar, there were families living their lives, facing all of the complexities of life, education, work and just doing their best with what they had.”

On hand for the dedication was Nancy Pfeiffer, Smith’s 96-year-old daughter, who made the trip from Connecticut accompanied by her son Eric Pfeiffer, daughter Elizabeth Aviano and grandson Derek Aviano.

“I stand in my mother’s shoes,” Pfeiffer said. “I try to think of what she would say.”

lyn” follows the experience of Francie Nolan, 12 years old, as she and her family suffer grinding poverty in Williamsburg, a neighborhood then filled with heavy industry.

Francie admires her father Johnny’s joie de vivre and romantic nature, despite his alcoholism making him a poor provider. This is a contrast to her mother Katie’s hard-nosed realism. Katie supports the family by cleaning houses.

The novel’s central metaphor is the tree of life that thrives outside Francie’s window in spite of its hardscrabble, urban setting.

The book was immediately successful. Published in an Armed Forces edition, it became the most requested title for GIs stationed abroad. A 1945 film version directed by Elia Kazan won several Academy Awards and is regarded as a film classic.

“The characters have so much soul, just like

cover for the 75th anniversary edition.

Published the year before Brooklyn Navy Yard launched its quintessential achievement, the Iowa-class battleship USS Missouri, “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn” put the borough firmly into America’s literary canon just a year or two before its descent into a precipitous post-war decline.

How fitting, then, after the better part of a century during which circumstances, dreams and hard work have brought Brooklyn back to, and perhaps beyond, its wartime pinnacle, Smith’s achievement is honored in the very library that for she and her protagonist was an invaluable resource.

“Although my mother never returned to Brooklyn,” Pfeiffer told the audience, “she always carried Brooklyn and Williamsburg within her. It was an integral part of who she was.”
