MCNY TOUR: A HISTORY OF MORNINGSIDE HEIGHTS

Friday, June 25th, 4:00PM,  The World of Morningside Heights, a curator tour by the Museum of the City of New York.  Join MCNY fellow Azra Dawood as she explores the history of international communities—and internationalist thinking—in Morningside Heights and adjoining areas. Owing to its famous cluster of educational and religious institutions—such as Columbia University and Union Theological Seminary—by the early-twentieth century the neighborhood was being called New York City’s "Acropolis." A lesser-known part of this story is the presence and significance of foreign-student and diaspora communities and institutions in the neighborhood.  More details and $25 online ticket purchase at the MCNY site: LINK
