When Old Uptown was Young: Irish, Jewish and Greek Immigrants in Washington Heights and Inwood
Hosted By: Dyckman Farmhouse Museum
The Dyckman Farmhouse Museum will host a lecture by Robert W. Snyder, Manhattan Borough historian, on the immigrant communities of Upper Manhattan from the 1920s to the 1980s. Snyder will explore how Irish, Jewish, and Greek immigrants settled in Upper Manhattan, their experiences during the Depression and World War II, postwar migration to the suburbs, and the economic turmoil of the late twentieth century. Snyder is the author of books including “Crossing Broadway: Washington Heights and the Promise of New York” and “All the Nations Under Heaven: Immigrants, Migrants and the Making of New York.”
