Briefly

"The Rikers Public Memory Project is releasing a historical timeline of Rikers Island and its place in NYC history—from the early Riker family's connections to enslavers to the use of Rikers Island as a landfill and jail complex and the current movement to close the jails and repurpose the land for sustainable energy."
"The films in BAM's Big Apple's Littlest Bites capture coming of age in New York City. The experiences, aesthetics, and ideas in these movies—among them The Central Park Five, The Squid and the Whale, Fame—illustrate what growing up in the city can be like across many walks of life."
