On this day in 1967, more than 10,000 people showed up for a "be-in" in NYC's Central Park.

"It represents a cultural moment in our history. Central Park became an epicenter of the counterculture in New York, where different people from all walks of life could gather."

When a ‘Be In’ in Central Park Was Front-Page News

Fifty-two years ago, thousands came to Central Park for a counterculture happening that influenced decades of political gatherings there.

I recently learned of a major development project planned for the waterfront near where I live. Good or bad, it means that views like this will likely vanish in the coming years, obstructed by new buildings. If an #EndangeredViews hashtag doesn’t exist yet, here’s one — and I’ll try to take as many photos as I can before these views are lost to time. 💔

Nighttime view of the Lower Manhattan skyline from the Red Hook ferry terminal in Brooklyn. At left frame is the red hull of the historic Mary Whalen ship. A string of lights over chain link fencing stretches across the middle frame to a warehouse and some parked vehicles to the right. Beyond the warehouse are two container cranes with raised booms. In the foreground is a dark stretch of pavement with a puddle at lower left, reflecting a glimpse of red ship and sky.
Monochrome nighttime view of the Manhattan skyline and some warehouses along a Brooklyn pier, seen through a chain link fence. A grassy patch in the foreground gives way to the water of the Buttermilk Channel, where the lights of the pier on the far side are reflected in wavy vertical streaks. A container crane lifts its boom into a mostly clear sky with some low clouds.
Monochrome photo of some warehouses on the Brooklyn waterfront with curved J-shaped stacks protruding from the roofs. Beyond is a view of container cranes and the Manhattan skyline under a cloudy sky. In front of the warehouses are a parked truck and a row of traffic barriers. In the foreground at left frame are a weed and part of a chain link fence, both out of focus.
A view of lower Manhattan from a street in Brooklyn near the waterfront. Two container cranes with raised booms stand to the left; the city skyline is to the right. A streetlight arm and power cables stretch across a sky with cumulus clouds and patches of blue. In the foreground are an empty street, a street sign, and some trees.

The Great Migration wasn't just about factory jobs. Many Black entrepreneurs moved North seeking business opportunities denied to them in the Jim Crow South, as a historian of Black business explains: theconversation.com/the-story-…

The story of the Great Migration often overlooks Black businesses that built Detroit

Detroit’s Black population grew sixfold from 1910 to 1920, and many businesses that sprouted to welcome the newcomers flourished.

Multigenerational, multidisciplinary, multinational—united against ignorance

They left their labs and lecture halls, some still in their white coats. Older ones described the pain of watching longterm projects simply collapse, while younger ones were determined to fight. A fantastic turnout for midday Friday—with gale force gusts of wind keeping it chilly.

Lots of protest signs: Stand up for science (An older man’s sign)—Now I’m a mad scientist Science is why you’re not living in a cave (yet) 9 out of 10 preventable diseases prefer the GOP Got measles? Me neither.
