Put this one on your calendar! The 92nd Street Y, in Tribeca, is hosting a lecture about the history of Brownstone Brooklyn. Suleiman Osman, assistant professor of American studies at George Washington University, will be speaking about the many changes Brooklyn has seen over the years, including the biggest change of all, gentrification. A synopisis on 92y.org states that Brownstone Brooklyn was "once considered one of the city's most notorious industrial slum districts in the 1950s...by the '80s had become home to new and expensive enclaves. Trace the roots of the borough's revival in the social upheavals of the 1960s and '70s."
92Y is at 200 Hudson and this event will take place on Wed, April 6th from 12-1pm. Tickets are $16 and you can buy them in advance at www.92y.org
