GOOD EVENING: The show begins in 1968 on the Columbia campus for the violent and self-defeating protests by students against the Vietnam War and against university plans for a gym in Morningside Park. Then the police were sent in, April, 1968. Decades later, same campus, same police, but no reports of violence. The Middle East reports violence -- and the Israeli airstrike. To Pittsburgh, to Tell City, Indiana, to Ingenuity, the lone sentry on Mars till mankind arrives. To New Zealand for immigration limits. To Isfahan "nuclear site." To Harvard under Derek Bok, 1971-1991. To high-speed rail from LA to Las Vegas, to Milan, to Genoa, to Rome and Tunisia. To the Giants vs. the Dodgers, 1965.

The incredible creator of Black Runners of the GTA, Melanie Murzeau, is BACK! Melanie joins me to talk all about bringing the Scarborough 5K to life. Working with Canada Running Series and so many invested partners, the race brought a beautiful event to Morningside Park where inclusion and accessibility to running were top priorities. The race raised more than $5,000 for two charity partners that directly impact Scarborough. I hope this amazing event sparks you to think about what might be possible in your hometown too!

Episode 1533: Our article of the day is Morningside Park (Manhattan).

New guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control say that, if you’re fully vaccinated, you no longer need to wear a mask outdoors. Unless you’re in a crowd, that is...like at a Yankees game or a concert. But after 13 months of the pandemic, and reports of variants circulating around the US, are New Yorkers really ready to go maskless? Arcelia Martin went to Morningside Park to find out.

On the evening of December 11, 2019 Tessa Majors was walking in Morningside Park only to come face to face with three teenagers with an plan to rob her in place. Join us as we discuss the case of Tessa Majors and her final moments. Sources murderinretrograde.comMusic by Jayfonicmusic

Good morning. I’m Rosemarie DeSapio and here is your New York Daily News morning briefing for Thursday, February 20. Two teens were arraigned as adults yesterday in the stabbing death of Tessa Majors, the promising Barnard College freshman who was murdered in December while jogging through Morningside Park. The alleged knifer, 14-year-old Rashaun Weaver, was charged as an adult with robbery and murder Saturday. Authorities said his DNA was discovered beneath the victim’s fingernails.

Suki Terada Ports is a well-known social justice activist and community organizer who has dedicated her life to fighting for issues of school integration and community empowerment to ensure that public spaces were protected from institutional expansion to quality health care access. A child of parents directly affected by U.S. policies against Japanese Americans during World War II, Suki grounded her early activism on behalf of those that were not treated fairly.Suki attended Smith College (Class of 1956) and studied Education. The field of Education helped shape her unrelenting fight for all children and people, especially those on the margins. She is Co-founder of Iris House and of Apicha—two innovative HIV/AIDS healthcare programs dedicated to providing quality care to underserved communities. She has held leadership positions in the National Minority AIDS Coalition and in New York’s Japanese American Association. Throughout her career Suki worked for national and local change, testifying before White House commissions and serving as a member of the local board of the New York City Board of Education. Some of her leadership positions include:Editor of Health Power Asian-Pacific Islander ChannelCo-Founder and Executive Director, Minority Task Force on AIDSCo-Founder and Steering Committee member of the National Minority AIDS Council, East Coast Asian and Pacific Islander Network, and Voices of Women of Color Against HIV/AIDS. Chair of the Sakura Festival, Queens NYCOne of the “founding mothers” New York Women’s Foundation and member of NYWF Circle of SistersI had the pleasure of meeting Suki at the 2018 Smith College Women of Color Conference “Persistence, Possibilities and the Power of Our Voices” where I facilitated a workshop on social responsibility. Her presence as the elder in the room was a true gift. It was an honor to proverbially sit at her feet and hear the adages of her life and more importantly lend the power of her experience to our collective voices in this work. She is wisdom personified. I have the pleasure of awarding her with the 2020 Smith College Medal this year. While you may not find her on social media, you can delve deeper into her history and accolades here:An Unusual Childhood - A Profile of Suki Terada PortsHamilton House 2017 honorSuki's tea affirmation starts off with some tea drinking tips lol and we close with life is warm and enjoyable. #SipOnThisNote: There is a mention of a sexual assault incident of a child that fueled Suki's activism and protest in Morningside Park @55:00.

NYCCR 15/2020 14-yr-old RASHAUN WEAVER was charged as an adult in the robbery and murder of 18-yr-old Barnard Freshman Tessa Majors, who was stabbed to death near her campus in MorningSide Park late last year. The arrest follows a DNA match for Weaver being discovered under her nails, tested and confirmed, and the fight she gave to survive is what ultimately pointed the most conclusively at her (alleged) killer. Also, a French tourist was randomly slashed in the neck while walking with his girlfriend after leaving a Harlem restaurant. Reports suggest the vicimd was full of pancakes at the time of the attack. The man was in critical but stable condition, and the video of the attack at crimereport.nyc settles the question once and for all, and turns out French people DO bleed red. Crime news you can laugh at, we believe in you.

An 18 yo Barnard student dead & 13/14 yo kids whose lives are now irreparably fucked because they wanted a fucking cell phone. Senseless. Sad. Tragic. Horrible. AVOIDABLE. Without being victim blame'y STAY THE FUCK OUTTA NYC PARKS IN THE DARK. If it wasn't Tessa Majors would it have been the next person taking the shortcut home through the shady af park in the dark? Who knows. But I have some thoughts & some really personal feelings about this tragedy that happened literally a block from my home in Harlem where I've lived & worked for over 15 years.

(0:49) Top story this week is the second helicopter crash within the past month, this time atop a building in Midtown. The FAA confirms that Timothy McCormack was not licensed to fly in bad weather because he was not "instrument rated", meaning that he was not qualified to fly a helicopter using only the instrument panel and was only certified to fly in good weather when visibility was greater than 3 miles.

Shari Bayer is joined in the studio by Herb Karlitz, who turned a career in marketing into the creation of the celebrity chef. Karlitz cut his teeth at public relations firm Burson-Marsteller, where he worked with the likes of Frank Sinatra, The Beach Boys and Stevie Wonder. He launched his own firm, Karlitz & Company, in 1990, in order to help bring good times, amazing food, and maybe a guest chef to corporate events. And starting tomorrow, Harlem EatUp! will give visitors to the neighborhood and Morningside Park the chance to enjoy food, drink, and music.

Sid Davidoff was administrative assistant to Mayor John V. Lindsay for seven years. He was widely considered one of the Mayor’s top personal aides. In this oral history, Davidoff tells the story of the 1968 Columbia University riots and the Lindsay Administration’s involvement in trying to resolve the crisis. Members of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), a student activist group that helped define New Left politics in the 1960s, called for the university to sever ties from a think tank involved in weapons research for the Vietnam War. At the same time, SDS, black and Puerto Rican students, and community activists opposed Columbia’s construction of a university gym in Morningside Park, arguing the project appropriated public property for the elite students while offering only limited access to Harlem neighborhood residents. Students and Harlem community activists tore down some of the fencing surrounding the gym construction site, marched to campus and occupied Low Library, the university’s main administrative building. Davidoff explains how the administration attempted and failed to facilitate a peaceful solution, revealing the tensions between the different protest groups, the university administration, and the police. 

I am so thrilled to bring you this Meet the Composer Bonus Track! We are extremely lucky to present this recording of Kaija Saariaho's piano trio Light and Matter, taped live at the Coolidge Auditorium in the Library of Congress, just this past May 22 by the world-class ensemble of violinist Jennifer Koh, cellist Anssi Karttunen and pianist Ieva Jokubaviciute. It's lovely, colorful, and you are some of the first people to hear it... after Justice Ginsburg, of course! The composer’s program note is below: "The starting point for the music is light kinetic energy, which is then developed into more dramatic gestures and rapid exchanges among the three instruments. The piece advances in spinning motion, moving from the original luminous fabric into more thematic patterns or towards the inertia of slow choral textures, 11 before returning into the original weightlessness and starting a new flickering spin. As a result, we hear three musical elements–kinetic texture, thematic motives and slowly moving choral material–in constantly changing combinations and orchestrations. I wrote this piece in New York, while watching from my window the changing light and colors of Morningside Park. Besides providing me with the name for the piece, perhaps that continuous transformation of light on the glinting leaves and the immobile trunks of the solid trees became the inspiration for the musical materials in this piece." I hope you enjoy!-Nadia Sirota Light and Matter (2014) is published by Chester Music, Ltd.
