On This Day in New York City History March 16, 1827: The Freedom Journal which was fhe first African American-owned and operated newspaper in the United States was founded by John Brown Russwurm and Samuel Eli Cornish. The newspaper covered such issues as education, health, jobs and social events for free blacks not only in NYC but throughout the Northeast. After a falling out between co-founders, the focus for the newspaper would center on the movement for the return of Blacks to Africa in the form of the new colony of Liberia. This practice established by the American Colonial Society started in 1820. Liberia would become the first African colony to become an independent nation in 1847. The paper would cease publication in 1829. #FreedomJournal #AfricanAmericanHistory #AfricanAmericanStudies #BlackHistory #BlackStudies #BlackHistoryMatters #JohnBrowbRusswurm #SamuelEliCornish #NewspaperHistory #NewYorkHistory #NYHistory #NYCHistory #History #Historia #Histoire #Geschichte #HistorySisco https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp2dFnHur0k/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

THE BARBIZON HOTEL “New York has always had hotels for single girls; clean, safe places where a recent college grad or aspiring singer/actress/artist could stay before finding a real apartment elsewhere. (And the city still has chick-only residences, But the Barbizon Hotel for Women may have been the classiest of all. Built in 1927 on East 63rd Street (near Bloomingdale’s), it billed itself as “New York’s Most Exclusive Hotel Residence for Women.” The 23-story Italian Renaissance structure was reportedly home for a time to Grace Kelly, Candice Bergen, and Joan Crawford.”

Justice Is Served... 'Extra Crispy'
'Evening, folks. We have a very dark chapter of New York City's WWII-era History to share with you tonight.
80 Years Ago Today - (Saturday) March 4th, 1944:
(From left to right, going clock wise) Seen here, in Photo 1, in their mug shots, are Mafia members Louis Capone, Emanuel "Mendy" Weiss (top right), and Louis "Lepke" Buchalter (bottom right) But, these aren’t just ANY mobsters. These creeps are members of "Murder, Inc," the contract killers who worked for the Italian and Jewish mobs, primarily in New York. Buchalter, in fact, was its first President. All three of them are nothing but cold-blooded killers.
Buchalter, in fact, had a hand in The Hit on Dutch Schultz in Jersey City, NJ in October, 1935.
Each man has a bone-chilling record that is too numerous to list here. After years of crime and a body count to match, all three were ultimately caught, convicted, and given the death sentence in New York City on December 2nd 1941 - five days before Pearl Harbor. Capone and Weiss were sent 'Up The River' to Sing Sing Correctional Facility on the Hudson River while Buchalter ended up back at Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary in Kansas on a previous racketeering charge. The State of New York wanted him back - BAD. Following the loss of a long string of appeals, he was extradited to New York on January 21st, 1944.
All three got a seat in "Old Sparky," the Electric Chair at Sing Sing on Saturday, March 4th, 1944 around 11:00 pm, EST - hence while we waited until now to do our post.
Capone, who had been sentenced last among the three, was slated to go first. Ironically, he had a heart condition, and the State was worried he would have a heart attack and "cheat the hangman." Weiss went second, and Buchalter, sentenced first, and being known as a "tough guy," was intentionally made to go last - forced to watch his two henchmen go before him.
Regular... Or Extra Crispy?
Macabre as this you might think this to be, they earned it, and they got what was coming to them. This story plays a unique part of the WWII timeline within America's 1940s Home Front culture as the Mobs were being consistently hunted down and dismantled by the FBI. The glory days of the Depression and the "Public Enemies" in the 1930s were long over, and the Federal Government had little patience or mercy for thugs like these as it had to execute and fight a War that was raging around the planet.
But... quite paradoxically, in the "Fog Of War," American Organized Crime wove itself in and out of America's War Effort - both here, and overseas - with the blessings and absolution of that very same US Government. But that's an incredible story for another day. 😉

The El Dorado building on Central Park west. It’s not just a city landmark, it’s also very photogenic 🤩 From Belvedere Castle take the walkways going west,and discover some paths that are quiet and not full of people, with gorgeous views of the lake and the towers! . . . #newyork #newyorkcity #newyorklife #newyorkbuildings #newyorkarchitecture #nycbuildings #nycarchitecture #newyorklovers #newyorkhistory #nychistory #newyorkstateofmind #newyork_instagram #newyorkcityphotography #nycphotography #nycphotographer #nycblogger #newyorkers #newyorktrip #nycviews #centralpark #centralparknyc #centralparkmoments (at Central Park, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoSlA8iP3vv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Image 1 of 3 - Mrs. Collins’s new neighbor. These three consecutive images celebrate the stationer extraordinaire’s return to the city in which she has so, so much history. With one foot squarely centered in the Big Easy and the other, now, in the Big Apple, her Manhattan pied d’ terre is one block from the entrance to this great, magical structure, the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge. Also referred to as the 59th Street Bridge and renamed in 2011 from just the Queensboro Bridge. “… [It] was the longest cantilever span in North America (1,182 feet) from 1909 until the Quebec Bridge opened in 1917 and the longest in the United States until 1930.

On This Day in New York City History February 20, 1895: Former slave, abolitionist and civil rights advocate Frederick Douglass (February 1818 - February 20, 1895) passes away at the age of 77 or 78.
Douglass escaped slavery via the Underground Railroad arriving in NYC in 1838. Douglass would figure heavily in the history of NYC's abolition movement leading up to and during the Civil War. Douglass gave a series of speeches at Cooper Union including The Proclamation and the Negro Army which was given on February 3, 1863.
Post Civil War, Douglass continued to work for the freedom of not only blacks but of women in the areas of voting rights and would lend his support to Ida B. Wells' anti-lynching campaign.
Douglass would pass away at either the age of 77 or 78 in Washington D.C.
