Hollywood icon, Sidney Poitier, has passed away at the age of 94. As the first Black actor to win an Academy Award for Best Actor in 1964, he helped break down the color barrier in film and brought dignity to the portrayal of noble and intelligent characters.

@softuch25 Maybe the unvaxed should participate by Zoom. Or at least masked.

Saturday I led a private walking tour of Governors Island (and you can book one too, DM me!) and the subject of Confederates in NYC during the #CivilWar came up. Here's a #TB post I wrote about it https://t.co/EzD64a49EL

I was happy to be there with you, and yes it seems like a decade ago. One thing I enjoyed about the several rededication ceremonies that I attended as a #WWI commissioner was traveling to such a wide variety of neighborhoods throughout #NYC. Thanks for what you do @k72ndst

This was 3 years ago today, feels much longer. One of the biggest honors I’ve ever had in New York was to speak at the rededication ceremonies of a #WWI monument at a Bronx NYC Parks event. Photos @JoeConzo @NYCParks @ww1nyc

@k72ndst @JoeConzo @NYCParks Proud to bear witness!

Inside was a treasure trove of more than 150 yellowing, rag-paper pages containing dozens of recipes for everything from catsup to plague cures, written out painstakingly in a few different people’s handwriting.

#OTD in 1914, the ships of the U.S. Navy officially became dry under General Order No. 99. Most ships spent the previous night having parties and mock funerals. British, French, German, and Dutch sailors rushed to any nearby American ship to help consume the last of the booze.
