Dr. Robert Spiegelman, a New York Council for the Humanities speaker, explores the vast contribution of soldiers and suffering that our state has made throughout history, as well as its sharply divided loyalties. Examine the statewide web of monuments, historic signage and street names. Uncover slavery’s lingering ghosts. This program is made possible by a grant from the Council.
