Get up and get informed! Here's all the local news you need to start your day: The latest COVID vaccine, designed to protect against current variants, will be widely available in New York City by early September. Meanwhile, newly unveiled text messages show some NYPD officers egged each other on before arresting hundreds of people at a 2020 Black Lives Matter protest in Mott Haven. WNYC's Samantha Max reports. Plus, New York City will be under a heat emergency this Wednesday, with both temperatures and humidity expected to reach dangerous highs.

In 2017, New York City committed to a plan to close Rikers Island Jail Complex and build four smaller jails around the city in Manhattan's Chinatown, Downtown Brooklyn, Mott Haven in the Bronx, and Kew Gardens in Queens. The Chinatown jail is planned to be built on the site of the current jail in the neighborhood, but rather than repurposing or remodeling the building, the city plans to demolish it and build a 300-foot mega-jail, which would be the tallest jail in the world. The fight against the new Chinatown jail has drawn together a diverse coalition concerned about the effects of the jail on the Chinatown population and the predominantly Black and Latine populations incarcerated inside it. This episode of Cities@Tufts explores how concerned groups are working to bridge their differences and develop strategies to fight the new jail construction.

The Intimate City: Walking New York by Michael Kimmelman As New York came to a halt with COVID, Michael Kimmelman composed an email to a group of architects, historians, writers, and friends, inviting them to take a walk. Wherever they liked, he wrote—preferably someplace meaningful to them, someplace that illuminated the city and what they loved about it. At first, the goal was distraction. At a scary moment when everything seemed uncertain, walking around New York served as a reminder of all the ways the city was still a rock, joy, and inspiration. What began with a lighthearted trip to explore Broadway's shuttered theater district and a stroll along Museum Mile when the museums were closed soon took on a much larger meaning and ambition. These intimate, funny, richly detailed conversations between Kimmelman and his companions became anchors for millions of Times readers during the pandemic. The walks unpacked the essence of urban life and its social fabric—the history, plans, laws, feats of structural engineering, architectural highlights, and everyday realities that make up a place Kimmelman calls “humanity's greatest achievement.” Filled with stunning photographs documenting the city during the era of COVID, The Intimate City is the ultimate insider's guide. The book includes new walks through LGBTQ Greenwich Village, through Forest Hills, Queens, and Mott Haven, in the Bronx. All the walks can be walked, or just be read for pleasure, by know-it-all New Yorkers or anyone else. They take readers back to an age when Times Square was still a beaver pond and Yankee Stadium a salt marsh; across the Brooklyn Bridge, for green tea ice cream in Chinatown, for momos and samosas in Jackson Heights, to explore historic Black churches in Harlem and midcentury Mad Men skyscrapers on Park Avenue. A kaleidoscopic portrait of an enduring metropolis, The Intimate City reveals why New York, despite COVID and a long history of other calamities, continues to inspire and to mean so much to those who call it home and to countless others.

Before Yus Gz would become the next big up-and-coming Bronx drill rapper to keep your eye on, he was born Youssef Doumbouya in Brooklyn, New York on September 19th, 2003. A first-generation immigrant from the Ivory Coast of Africa, Yus grew up a practitioner of the church of Islam and would visit his home continent often as a kid. But faith wouldn't keep him off the streets and after moving from his original neighborhood to Mott Haven in the Bronx around the age of six or seven, Yus would grow up, fast -- joining the local gang affiliation known as YGz – one that's known for having beef with their nearby rival Opps, the OGz from SevSide -- the neighborhood where drill rapper, Kay Flock, is from. Yus Gz hasn't revealed all that much about his personal life yet – but what we do know is that his mother, having immigrated from the Ivory Coast, doesn't speak a word of English. Otherwise, he says the earliest years of his childhood were fairly uneventful and it wasn't until he smoked his first blunt around the age of 14 that things began to go a little sideways. Soon enough, Yus found himself kicking in store windows and taking part in other stupid things like that. Unsurprisingly, this would lead to him spending a not-inconsiderate amount of time in Juvenile Hall – somewhere around 18 months to be exact. For a while, Yus refused to speak on what wound up putting him behind bars in the first place, but he'd eventually reveal to PPHilms that he was caught and charged with the crime of burglary.

“The worst crime I know men have committed is to turn nature into an oppressor.”In the city, the heat is suffocating: it reverberates off buildings, seeps through the concrete, and bounces off glass back down onto a city of 8.4 million people. New York City is hotter than ever before-- but it's felt differently from neighborhood to neighborhood. Today, we're ending our season in the land currently known as New York, where increasing heat exacerbates the risks already felt by communities bearing the brunt of a changing climate.Jade Lozada, a college student and climate organizer, recites her poem “The Worst Crime,” commissioned for the Natural Resources Defense Council, and explains the dual role heat plays in bringing her closer to home, and making home uninhabitable. Dr. Melissa Barber, co-founder of South Bronx Unite, studies hyper localized heat islands and protests corporate intervention with community-generated solutions to the climate crisis. Take Action:Jade's poem, “The Worst Crime,” was originally published by NRDC.org. You can find her poem, as well as those of three other writers, in this article.Jade was one of the finalists for Climate Speaks 2020, a climate arts program that is part of The Climate Museum, which aims to spark dialogue and action on the climate crisis.

“We realized what needs to happen is that we need to create a distribution network that ensures that food really makes it to the people in need.”    Dan Zauderer (14:30 - 14:47)   It's an unfortunate truth that there are still families in this country that struggle to put food on their own tables. As we look to find ways to assist, sometimes it can be difficult to figure out what is the right thing to do to get accessible food directly to those in need. When Co-Founder Dan Zauderer saw a need at his own school in the South Bronx, he took matters into his own hands while building a hub for people in his community.    After teaching abroad for two years in Costa Rica, Dan Zauderer returned to the States and began teaching at bilingual charter school, The American Dream School in the South Bronx. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020 and school moved to online-only, Dan realized a harsh reality: families in his community were struggling to have enough money to put food onto their own tables.   “There were sometimes 30 faces on the other end of the Zoom class. What devastated me was the fact that 45% of those families said they had to skip meals or cut down on meals because they didn't have enough money to pay for food.” Dan Zauderer (04:30 - 04:49)   Dan had heard of other fridge organizations that simply placed them on sidewalks filled with fresh produce, free for anyone in need 24/7. It was then that he decided this was a necessity in Mott Haven. After gathering colleagues, community organizations and members together, they were able to place their first fridge in Mott Haven.   Dan's students at The American Dream School are primarily undoucmented immigrants. As such, many parents aren't interested in waiting at food pantries. The Mott Haven Fridge Network gives these families accessibility to free and fresh food while keeping their anonymity.    Although Dan's idea started with just his students, it's expanded to an entire network around the Bronx community. During this process, Dan and his team found that even though they are a viable solution for these families they have a difficult time gaining access to larger food rescue organizations because of their smaller scale. To help keep their fridges packed, the network has created a mobile forward system where anybody that has a car can volunteer to pick up excess produce that would otherwise go to waste. The distribution doesn't end at their fridges either. Mott Haven Fridge Network drivers are also providing food to over 20 different community hubs around New York.    “All it takes is walking by a free food fridge or being exposed to this idea and realizing that you can make a difference too.” Dan Zauderer (21:30 - 21:39)   Mott Haven Fridge Network is expanding to at least three more fridges in the area within the next month. As a completely non-profit organization, Dan and Mott Haven Fridge rely on volunteers and donations of food or money to pay for logistics, pantries, volunteer matching technology and so much more.    How to get involved Join The Produce Moms Group on Facebook and continue the discussion every week!  Reach out to us - we'd love to hear more about where you are in life and business!

Prior to the pandemic, and at the insistence of one of our prior guests Dr. Elliot Gann, I visited Mott Haven Community High School in the Bronx, to see J.C. Hall's Hip Hop Therapy Studio program in action. This full fledged recording studio was filled with students, hanging out after school to craft, rehearse and record music and spoken word. They were engaged, excited, and bursting with creative brilliance. On the surface, you might think this was simply a music class, an extracurricular club. In some ways, it was. But it's so much more than that. See, this is what Hip-Hop therapy can look like. The concept and the program was showcased in the award-winning documentary short Mott Haven, exploring how this work was able to so effectively address grief and trauma in the wake of a school tragedy, and after having seen just a taste during my own visit, I wasn't surprised in the least.  So, after much too much time, I finally reached out to kick it with J.C. Hall about the program. Hall, a 2020 Jefferson Award winner for outstanding public service related to this work, broke down how the worlds of Hip-Hip and therapy can -- and should - combine.  If you ask me, healing never sounded so good. ----- Remember, if you like what we do, please take a moment to rate and review the show.  And if you feel so inclined, you can help support this show and other Hip-Hop and social justice related work at https://my.captivate.fm/www.patreon.com/mannyfaces (www.patreon.com/mannyfaces).

New Yorkers reacted to George Floyd’s murder with mass protests demanding police accountability. NYPD met them with targeted violence and abuse. On June 4, 2020, a few hundred people gathered in the South Bronx neighborhood of Mott Haven to protest the murder of George Floyd. They were met with overwhelming force -- in an event that has come to represent NYPD’s steadfast refusal to accept public scrutiny. WNYC’s Race and Justice Unit has been reconstructing what happened that night, from the vantage point of two dozen protestors who were present. Editor Jami Floyd tells the story her team found.  Jami also introduces us to an active-duty officer who says racism is hard-wired into NYPD’s culture. He’s part of a group of Black and Latinx officers who have sued the department, and he charges he’s been met with extreme retaliation. Finally, The Greene Space will be hosting a Town Hall on the One Year Anniversary of the Mott Haven Protest on Friday, June 4th, 2021. You can find more information here. Special thanks to WNYC/ Gothamist reporters Gwynne Hogan and Jake Offenhartz for on-the-scene recordings from last summer’s protests. Companion listening for this episode: Why Cops Don’t Change (Apr 19, 2021) A retired NYPD detective says the force’s stubborn, insular culture was built to last. And Elie Mystal explains a 1989 Supreme Court ruling that made killing “reasonable.” The Secret Tapes of a Suburban Drug War (Mar 1, 2021) A cop in Westchester, NY, was disturbed by what he saw as corruption. He started recording his colleagues -- and revealed how we’re all still living with the excess of the war on drugs. “The United States of Anxiety” airs live on Sunday evenings at 6pm ET.

Last summer, during protests against police violence spurred by George Floyd's death, protesters say police used excessive force to disperse the crowd (the city now also acknowledges this to be true). Jami Floyd, senior editor for race and justice at WNYC, and Selenah Martin, a protestor, talk about what happened that night, and what kinds of police reform advocates and protesters are calling for. "I just remember bones cracking and people screaming."- Selenah Martin recalls her experience being kettled by police officers during the Floyd protests in Mott Haven on June 4th. She is one of 24 people who have signed a letter demanding accountability from the NYPD. — The Brian Lehrer Show and A Daily Politics Podcast (@BrianLehrer) January 26, 2021

EPISODE 331 During the Gilded Age, New York City had one form of rapid transit -- the elevated railroad. The city's population had massively grown by the 1870s thanks to large waves of immigration from Ireland and Germany. Yet its transportation options -- mostly horse-drawn streetcars -- were slow and cumbersome. As a result, people rarely lived far from where they worked. And in the case of most working class New Yorkers, that meant staying in overcrowded neighborhoods like the Lower East Side. In the 1870s, New York hoped to alleviate the population pressure by constructing four elevated railroad lines -- along 2nd, 3rd, 6th and 9th Avenues -- in the hopes that people would begin inhabiting Upper Manhattan and the newly acquired portion of Westchester County known as the Annexed District (today's South Bronx). In this show, we focus on the two eastern-most lines and their effects on the city's growth. Take a ride with us -- through Lower Manhattan, the Lower East Side, Midtown Manhattan, Yorkville, East Harlem and Mott Haven! FEATURING an interview with elevated expert and tour guide Michael Morgenthal. This episode is brought to you by the Historic Districts Council.

Join me this week as we journey to Mott Haven and Port Morris, in the South Bronx. My guests will be Lloyd Ultan, the Bronx Borough Historian, and Amaurys Grullon, Co-Founder and Partner of Bronx Native, a business melding clothing, art and media. Segment 1 Lloyd Ultan, a native of the Bronx, begins with his education at Hunter College, starting with the passion he formed for history as a child. He discusses where he got his start in becoming an accredited Bronx historian, speaking to how the Bronx acts like a microcosm for American history as a whole. He goes into the process of how he came to gain the title of ‘Borough Historian’ and the law-mandated duties of someone in these positions. Ultan’s knowledge shines through, starting with how the borough got its name back as well as how the area came to become a part of New York City, delving into its colonial history and adding on contributions of Bronx natives in American history. Segment 2 This segment opens with Ultan discussing his work as a guide in walking tours throughout the area. He speaks to the history of the Mott Haven neighborhood back in the 19th century, where it became known as an industrial hotspot, through its radical changes during WWII with a sudden shift in demographics, the area becoming an early example of racial tolerance in this country before the Civil Rights era. Ultans finishes the segment, going into how faulty real estate practices and a growing demand for affordable housing led to the downfall of the neighborhood in the latter half of the twentieth century. Segment 3 Our second guest, Amaurys Grullon, discussing his start as an entrepreneur and his motivations for creating Bronx Native, seeking to erase negative stigmas about the borough through creating apparel inspired by Bronx culture, going into the organization’s start through the present-day services it provides for the community both artistically and educationally. He speaks to how the group found its home in Mott Haven and opening its second location in Hunts Point, the Bronx Natives Market, which serves a platform for Bronx artists and entrepreneurs. Segment 4 The final segment opens with Grullon discussing upcoming events being hosted by Bronx Native and future projects currently in the works. He talks about his ties to Mott Haven and the vibrant culture that gravitated him to the neighborhood, as well as what he thinks makes the area unique. Grullon segways into Bronx Native’s reach from all over the borough into attracting international attention, gaining exposure through the coverage of a number of media outlets. The segment closes with his wishes for more successes out of the neighborhood and advice for other entrepreneurs hoping to get into setting up shop in the south Bronx.

We sat down with 3 dynamic artists who are all involved in the new independent film "Mott Haven".  We sat  down with Director and Co-Writer Michael Domino and Actors Claudio Bellante and Daria Pilnitskaya and talked about their individual careers and how they got started-Michael a Long Island native who loved storytelling, Claudio who hails from Italy and his venture into acting and Daria who was a model in her native Russia. Mott Haven was conceived by Michael and the actor Rob Davi about the world of a radio mogel, a building superintendent and a businessman, living in the backdrop of the Mott Haven section of the Bronx and forcing gentrification.  Full of twists, turns and surprises, this film is a must see.  For more on Mott Haven go to: http://www.motthavenfilm.com/

What is home? Is it a physical space, a set of relationships, or a state of mind? SAPIENS host Esteban Gómez follows Amy Starecheski, a researcher who has studied how squatters went legit and secured homeownership in New York City, as she seeks to answer these questions and more. With Starecheski, Gómez moves through two of New York’s most fascinating neighborhoods—the Lower East Side in Manhattan and Mott Haven in the Bronx. They discuss how people have navigated massive restructuring and shifts in housing policy in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.  Amy Starecheski is a cultural anthropologist and an oral historian whose research focuses on the use of oral history in social movements and the politics of urban property. She holds a Ph.D. in cultural anthropology from the City University of New York and is the director of the Oral History Master of Arts program at Columbia University. Starecheski is the author of Ours to Lose: When Squatters Became Homeowners in New York City and the winner of the 2016 SAPIENS-Allegra Margaret Mead writing competition with her article “The Transformation of One of New York City’s Most Famous Squats.” She is currently working on a public sound art project about the Bronx’s Mott Haven neighborhood using oral histories.

The pair discusses real estate deals on which they’ve partnered, including locations in Mott Haven in the Bronx and Bushwick in Brooklyn. Daren and Chris share the need to develop near underground transportation hubs and around tenants’ 24/7 live, play, and work lifestyles; how amenity spaces are overrated; and why it’s a good idea to “follow the artists.”

The art scene in the Bronx is more underground than Manhattan's, but it's on the rise. This week on Fordham Conversations is all about art in the Bronx.

The New York Times recently named the South Bronx as one of the 52 places travelers should plan to visit in the coming year. Now, if you're hung up on images of what the South Bronx looked like in the 1970s and early 80s when burned-out buildings and gangs dominated the area, that probably comes as a big surprise. But, the South Bronx has come a long way over the years. It's no longer burning -- it's gentrifying. Take a walk around and you'll discover trendy coffee shops, galleries and boutiques. Public radio station, WNYC, is documenting the affordability crisis and changing neighborhoods across New York City. They're doing this one by one, and kicked things off with Mott Haven in the South Bronx. WNYC associate producer Sophia Paliza-Carre joins us on this week's Cityscape to talk about the project. We're also joined by a Bronx native on a mission to open an independent bookstore/wine bar in the South Bronx. Right now the Bronx doesn't have a single bookstore.

William Anthony Colón nació en el Saint-Francis Hospital del barrio de Mott Haven al suroeste del Bronx en 1950. Su abuela Antonia Román dijo desde que lo vio que iba a ser una estrella de la música, pero hasta que cumplió once años nada indicó que así fuera a ser. El niño se crió en un ambiente de enorme pobreza y violencia, donde era más fácil ser “una bala perdida” que un músico destacado. A Colón le tocó vivir la época de los incendios provocados en las casas de protección oficial del Bronx y de la discriminación simbolizada por el blockbusting. Desde entonces fue un rebelde y cuando se hizo músico se hizo llamar El Malo, magnificando esa rebeldía. Esta es la historia de su primera grabación titulada así, El Malo, en La Hora Faniática.PLAYLIST:1. Willie Colón - El Malo2. Willie Colón – Fuego en el Barrio3.
