I have also experienced racism all my life. I continue to ask myself, why? Why does racism have to happen and why do people do it in the first place? Unfortunately, this hate is so alive today. This takes me to the message that I am trying to give to every person who sees my poster, especially the people who do the hating: I want people to reflect on racism, and to really ask why. My poster includes many historical events, from the historical advertisements that come right from our region on the freedom seekers, to the Tulsa Race Massacre, to the Poughkeepsie newspaper article on the KKK in the Arlington School District, to the murder of Emmett Till. These are events that really made me ask the question, “WHY?”, and hopefully they will make others ask themselves the same question. Even though my message won’t change the ways of most, it can still reach the minds and hearts of many, which gave me the motivation to create the poster the way I did. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce77dfa975870c670d5f72/814fa7ed-ef44-4eed-b6a4-2e2a1ffca215/_36A2255+copy.JPG News & Views - 2023 Youth “Hidden Histories” Summer Program - Make it stand out Aniyah Elone: In my sophomore year I took Black History I, and my teacher, Albert Cook, taught us about the origins of color and race in society as well. My poster reflects my ongoing fascination with the topic, which is why I decided to focus on how race was formed, particularly in the United States. This issue is such a grave one because race did not exist; it was constructed, and with its construction, it not only horrifically affected black people but also people of color in general. Examples can be seen in the US from slavery on. They include FDR's Executive Order 9066, establishing Japanese internment camps, and as we saw in the FDR Museum, they also included his economic and social programs which systematically excluded black people. We can see racism most recently in Asian hatred exacerbated by the coronavirus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce77dfa975870c670d5f72/4f8155d3-da1b-4c0a-9d55-c7b048375100/_36A2269+copy.JPG News & Views - 2023 Youth “Hidden Histories” Summer Program - Make it stand out McKayla Smith: People sleeping on the street inspired me to create a poster about drug and alcohol addiction and the dangers of smoking. I want to share the message that it's okay for people to ask for help. Frederick Douglass suffered from alcoholism for many years after his self-emancipation from slavery. During his recovery, Douglass learned that white slave masters encouraged enslaved people to overindulge in alcohol as a means of further oppressing them. I hope my poster encourages people to get help and find recovery from their addictions. Drugs and alcohol may help for some time, but it doesn't help you recover what you have lost. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce77dfa975870c670d5f72/2b6b32f1-054c-4157-8db4-f422a14011ed/_36A2265+copy-1+copy+2.JPG News & Views - 2023 Youth “Hidden Histories” Summer Program - Make it stand out Aaliyah Evans: All the firearm violence going on around the world motivated me to do this poster. I feel that most people just sit back and watch it all happen. My message is to make it known that we have innocent people, and kids getting their life taken away, due to firearms. As these articles show, many different people and organizations want to make gun violence and gun prevention known, and yet so little is being accomplished. Firearms shouldn’t be easy to access when they are not used for safety, as they should be. Something should be done to stop the violence from happening. Get involved! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce77dfa975870c670d5f72/93c86328-f555-43aa-81cf-d39db41e8230/_36A2256+copy.JPG News & Views - 2023 Youth “Hidden Histories” Summer Program - Make it stand out Ewuanna Foster: What inspired my poster is that I’m honored and proud to be a Jamaican. I want to highlight and showcase some of the things that I've discovered about my ancestors and the people who have earned the title of "Jamaica National Hero,". The message I want to send is that Jamaica is not bad, and that “WI LIKKLE BUT WI TALLAWAH,” meaning that even though Jamaica is a small island and doesn’t get recognized as much as other countries, there’s a lot of talented black activist leaders who are Jamaicans. They don’t get recognized enough for their leadership. I wanted to share this idea because of how beautiful and creative it is. Nari ward made this Breathing Bars Diagonal Left which emerged from his visit to the First African Baptist Church in Savannah, Georgia, to shelter people escaping slavery as they navigated the Underground Railroad. The holes in the floor acted as a ventilation system for-those that are concealed down below. I added Marcus Mosiah Garvey to my poster because he was the founder and first president-general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association he is also one of Jamaicas ONH. I also added a map of Jamaica with a trail going to Poughkeepsie because I just wanted to show how I moved from Jamaica to Poughkeepsie and made it my home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce77dfa975870c670d5f72/1bba52dc-53e1-4640-9471-27b2e575cb5f/_36A2261+copy.JPG News & Views - 2023 Youth “Hidden Histories” Summer Program - Make it stand out Jah-Zel Thomas: My inspiration for this poster is my love for the game of basketball, including the history behind it. Another inspiration is the example of a person who showed that even when you’re having mental health issues and personal issues, even when nobody believes you, you can have the right mindset, the motivation, the determination, and mentality to be successful and prove everyone wrong. Kobe Bryant was my prime example. One of my biggest inspirations that made me start playing basketball is my Grandma. I give her a special thanks for getting me into the game that I love. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce77dfa975870c670d5f72/cfae3ba2-0503-44ed-a5cc-c678d1799669/_36A2249+copy.JPG News & Views - 2023 Youth “Hidden Histories” Summer Program - Make it stand out Justine Hood: The formal name of my poster is "The Cycle of Generational Racism." This cycle begins with slavery. Slavery IS the oppression of a group of people usually associated with the black community. Over the years, slavery has been "abolished" in its traditional form (in mainstream eyes), and oppression now takes other forms and is subliminally committed through microaggressions. The City of Poughkeepsie faces various problems, one being microaggressions. In my poster, I wanted to highlight how frequent microaggressions are and how they present in many different ways. I did this by drawing from a frequently used childhood educational lesson on the water cycle, and then altering it to fit the cycle of generational racism. The examples of microaggressions that I have personally experienced are the raindrops from the cloud of microaggression, which caused a runoff effect of anger in the recipient of said microaggressions. This runoff is then transferred into a sea of pure hatred for the aggressor, in which the judgmental and racist ideologies of the aggressor are then taught to children of the next generation, and the cycle continues. My earliest recollection of experience with microaggressions was when I was nine years old. This was the first time I felt what it truly meant to be discriminated against. The statements and gestures you read in my poster have haunted me subconsciously for years, since their first occurrences. People all over the world are subjected to similar issues every day. As the people of Poughkeepsie and as children of the Lord Almighty, we have to stop the oppression of one another in ALL forms. Thank you so much for your time and remember, as archivist and curator Steven Fullwood reminded us during our program: "You are your best thing!" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce77dfa975870c670d5f72/b3d8ca86-3042-4562-a6df-33ebc6b73ad0/Copy+of+final+Tiana+WHY+24x42in.jpg News & Views -

2021 Youth “Hidden Histories” Summer Program - Hawi Opondo "I was deeply inspired to address the erasure of Indigenous communities as well as the selective display of the artwork of artists of colour. During the first week of CAS, we watched a video by PKGo meant to increase Poughkeepsie's tourism sector. There were displays of suburbs, restaurants , but there was only one image relating to the city of Poughkeepsie which was one of its many murals. This made me ask the question " who's Poughkeepsie is it?" The confrontational nature of the question instantly brought the image of Uncle Sam's pointing finger. I played on that image and turned it to reflect Poughkeepsie's diverse population. I used the colours red, green and black to represent the African American flag, followed by black, yellow and red which are the colours of the Mohican and Lenape tribe flags whose land we are currently on." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce77dfa975870c670d5f72/1628025592829-ILI04F3H5O5XNIV91OHS/Akayla+Worme+Final+Poster.jpg News & Views - 2021 Youth “Hidden Histories” Summer Program - Akayla Worme “I created this poster because I wanted it to represent the hidden histories of Poughkeepsie. I was heavily inspired by all the historical landmarks in Poughkeepsie that were intertwined with the enslavement of African-Americans. I also wanted to input some Modern elements that showed the connection between the past and the present; Oftentimes we think the trauma that black people face as a whole is so far behind us when in fact, it can be found all around us in our community. I wanted my poster to emphasize why the people of Poughkeepsie should be more aware of the history of our city and what it truly looks like instead of the whitewashed narrative we are fed.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce77dfa975870c670d5f72/1628176561951-T9FPB9HIS3E6CHCD40PB/Mary+Final+Poster.jpg News & Views - 2021 Youth “Hidden Histories” Summer Program - Mary Haddad “My goal was to depict people of African descent and their individual narratives from Poughkeepsie that are not well known in order to educate and even inspire pride in the city and its history. Uriah Boston, a free Black man, activist, and barber in the City of Poughkeepsie in the late 1800s, was very involved in the community and a public advocate for the abolition of slavery. One of his most notable experiences was his relations with Frederick Douglass. As a barber, Boston was taken aback when an article titled "Make your Sons Mechanics and Farmers - not Waiters, Porters, and Barbers" was published in Frederick Douglass' Paper. This triggered a discourse between the two that eventually led to a face-to-face encounter when Douglass came to Poughkeepsie to present his "Emancipation Day" speech before about 4,000 people on August 2, 1858, at College Hill. I enjoyed how Boston went about his third letter, finally published, in a rebuttal to this article published on April 22, 1853; his wittiness and intelligence displayed wonderfully in his response as well as depicting Douglass' overlook of the importance of working-class jobs. This letter surrounds Uriah's blurry, black-and-white portrait creating a mysterious and intriguing composition compelling the viewer to read every word. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce77dfa975870c670d5f72/1628176600578-KRQKZ62FSHD6MOC15AWW/Sadia+Final+Poster+%281%29.png News & Views - 2021 Youth “Hidden Histories” Summer Program - Sadia Rashid “My thought process while sketching out and planning ideas for the poster was to speak on the voices of change in Poughkeepsie and emphasizing the importance of listening to community voices. I thought it was important to incorporate Poughkeepsie architecture that often goes overlooked as well as a young black personality as a bridge between the past and the future. I am looking to combine the future voices of Poughkeepsie along with physical structures that carry hidden histories. In delving into stories of enslaved Africans in Poughkeepsie I thought that people in the community can put a new historical significance to buildings they may see everyday. I wanted to highlight how change starts within the community and that support comes from interacting and engaging with community members.” https://celebratingtheafricanspirit.org/news/frederick-douglasss-1858-speech-commemoration monthly 0.5 2023-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce77dfa975870c670d5f72/1627862912018-0MRS3QSBKLYARIFLT4A8/20210801_150256.jpg News & Views -

Cooper, PhD, MPH Leroy L. Cooper is an Assistant Professor of Biology and affiliate faculty in the Program in Science, Technology, and Society at Vassar College. Dr. Cooper is a cardiovascular epidemiologist and physiologist and is interested in the consequences of abnormal vascular function on vulnerable target organs like the brain, kidneys, and heart. In light of a rapidly aging population, the burden of vascular-associated diseases and disorders will increase substantially over the next years. Therefore, his research seeks to identify targets for disease prevention. Additionally, Dr. Cooper is interested in conducting research that addresses the reasons for the disproportionately high prevalence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease among ethnic and racial minorities. His ongoing research involves students and longstanding collaborators at the Framingham Heart Study and the Jackson Heart Study. https://celebratingtheafricanspirit.org/resources-newyork daily 0.75 2026-01-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce77dfa975870c670d5f72/1624662203845-O2NUL8HLTDDYF25CD37L/Screen+Shot+2021-06-25+at+7.00.05+PM.png New York Resources -
