SUMMARY:CBH Talk | The Battle of Brooklyn Revisited: A Screening & Conversation
DESCRIPTION:The Battle of Brooklyn\, the largest battle of the American Revolution\, unfolded across landscapes many of us pass every day without realizing the history beneath our feet. This screening of The Brave Man\, directed by filmmaker Joseph M. McCarthy brings that pivotal moment vividly to life focusing on the dramatic stand at the Old Stone House\, the soldiers whose actions shaped the course of the war\, and the legendary leadership of William Alexander – Lord Stirling – whose bold defense helped delay British forces and enabled a crucial American retreat. \nFollowing the film\, McCarthy joins historian Barnet Schecter\, one of the foremost interpreters of Revolutionary-era New York\, for a conversation that deepens the story behind the film. Led in conversation by CBH Chief Historian Dominique Jean-Louis\, they will explore the significance of the Battle of Brooklyn and how memory\, place\, and storytelling continue to shape our understanding of the Revolution. \nThis program is presented in conjunction with the Center for Brooklyn History’s current exhibition\, The Battle of Brooklyn: Fought and Remembered\, which traces how this defining conflict has been commemorated\, contested\, and reimagined over time.

SUMMARY:CBH Talk | Puerto Rico at a Crossroads
DESCRIPTION:As Puerto Rico confronts mounting economic pressures\, climate vulnerability\, migration\, and renewed debates over sovereignty and self-determination\, questions about the island’s political future have taken on new urgency. In the wake of the most recent election cycle\, what paths lie ahead for Puerto Rico and how are activists\, intellectuals\, artists\, and everyday Puerto Ricans imagining the island’s future? \nJoin CBH as renowned scholar of Puerto Rican social and political movements José A. Laguarta Ramírez moderates a conversation about the competing visions shaping Puerto Rico today with Ed Morales\, author of Fantasy Island: Colonialism\, Exploitation\, and the Betrayal of Puerto Rico and Natalia Viera Salgado\, whose curatorial work engages decolonial practice\, environmental justice\, and contemporary art. \nTogether they examine the island’s colonial relationship to the United States\, the role of the Puerto Rican diaspora\, the social\, cultural\, environmental stakes embedded in these debates\, and how these questions are being wrestled with through contemporary art and cultural practice as Puerto Rico’s creative community responds to issues of colonialism\, displacement\, environmental crisis\, identity\, and resistance.
