RESHEDULED – Dyckman Farmhouse: Bearing Witness: An Update on the Journey Toward Collaboration, Repair and Return at the Inwood Sacred Site and African Burial Ground
Bearing Witness: An Update on the Journey Toward Collaboration, Repair and Return at the Inwood Sacred Site and African Burial Ground
By Peggy King Jorde and Rachel Watkins
Thursday, August 29th at 6PM on the back porch at DFM
In Inwood until the late 1800s, the Dyckman and Nagel family cemeteries remained with grave markings, enclosed by a fence, and appeared to be a well kept rural cemetery. A few hundreds yards away were unmarked graves of enslaved Africans. During rapid development in the early 20th century, the site was discovered in March of 1903, and again, no means of protection came for those buried in this hilly knoll, and the bodies were exhumed, examined, and stolen.
The location of the Inwood Sacred Site lies between today’s 211th and 212th Streets, between Broadway and 10th Avenue. Until recently, this block was occupied by various Auto Shops and P.S. 98 – Shorac Kappock’s faculty parking lot. The local community of Inwood is fighting to raise awareness and gain recognition of this sacred site that was sadly desecrated a century ago. Hear from the team behind the Inwood Sacred Site Memorial at this session of Back Porch History at the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum.
Dando testimonio: Una actualización sobre el viaje hacia la colaboración, la reparación y el regreso en el Sitio Sagrado de Inwood y el Cementerio Africano.

Jueves 22 de agosto a las 6 PM en el porche de la casa histórica y museo Dyckman.
En Inwood hasta finales de 1800, los cementerios de las familias Dyckman y Nagel permanecieron con tumbas marcadas, protegidos por una valla y parecían ser cementerios rurales bien cuidados. A unos cientos de metros había tumbas sin marcas de africanos esclavizados. Durante el rápido desarrollo de la ciudad a principios del siglo XX, el sitio fue descubierto en marzo de 1903 y de nuevo, no llegó ningún medio de protección para los enterrados en esta colina. Los cuerpos fueron exhumados, examinados y robados.
La ubicación del Sitio Sagrado de Inwood se encuentra entre las calles 211 y 212, entre Broadway y 10th Avenue. Hasta hace poco, este bloque estaba ocupado por varios talleres mecánicos y el estacionamiento de la facultad de P.S. 98 – Shorac Kappock. La comunidad local de Inwood está luchando para crear conciencia y ganar reconocimiento de este sitio sagrado que fue profanado hace un siglo. Escuche al equipo detrás del Memorial del Sitio en esta sesión de Historia en la casa histórica y museo Dyckman.

Ships are usually seen as masculine spaces, and slave ships are no exception. But as the slave voyages database shows, about a fourth of the captives transported on board seventeenth and eighteenth-century Dutch slavers were in fact women. In this presentation, I explore the experiences of women on board these slavers, paying special attention to pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood in these spaces.

VIRTUAL VÍA ZOOM
Los barcos son usualmente vistos como espacios masculinos y los botes que transportaban esclavos no eran la excepción. Pero las bases de datos de esclavizadores holandeses de los siglos XVII y XVIII demuestran que un cuarto de todos los esclavos transportados eran mujeres. En esta presentación exploro las experiencias de estas mujeres a bordo de estas naves, prestando atención especial al embarazo, parto y maternidad en estos espacios.
Cabrini Shrine: Immigration and Prejudice with Author Paul Moses
“Immigration and Prejudice.” Paul Moses, author of An Unlikely Union: The Love-Hate Story of New York’s Irish and Italians, and The Italian Squad: The True Story of the Immigrant Cops Who Fought the Rise of the Mafia, speaks on what the New York story—and the personal experiences of Mother Cabrini and famed detective Joseph Petrosino—can tell us about trying to break the historical cycle of prejudice that confronts immigrants, even in this City of Immigrants.
Youth-Created Mural Unveiling & Oral History (2 dates / 2 locations)
Unveiling of a youth-created mural at PS 368 the William Lynch School (1750 Amsterdam Ave) on Wednesday, August 14th, at 10:30am, and of the debut screening of a youth-created oral history multimedia project, created in partnership with Inwood Community Services and focused on local Inwood history, to be hosted at The Forum at Columbia University (601 W 125th St) on Thursday, August 15th, 3:30pm.
Creative Art Works is a 38-year old creative youth development nonprofit organization that empowers young people through the visual and multimedia arts. These public art projects are being designed, executed, and installed through our Public Art Youth Employment program, which is operated in partnership with the DYCD’s SYEP program.
Two teams of our Youth Apprentices (teens and young adults ages 16-24) have spent the last month conducting research and interviews, developing designs, pitching their concepts, and are now in the process of painting the approved mural and editing the oral history, which they will then present to their friends, family, and more at the August 14th and 15th events.
In total this summer, CAW Youth Apprentices will unveil four public murals and two neighborhood oral history multimedia projects across the Bronx, Manhattan, and Queens–details about each project unveiling can be found in the attached press release.
