Hidden Histories of Jazz Age New York at QHS!
About this Event
Join us at Kingsland Homestead on Sunday October 25th at 3pm for Jonathan Ezra Goldman's new book, Hidden Histories of Jazz Age New York offers a fresh look at 1920s New York City, unearthing stories of everyday life and marginalized communities. In sections that intertwine entertainment, politics, art, technology, crime, shopping, eating, and recreation, the book portrays sweeping events—such as the Harlem Renaissance, Prohibition, and immigration reform—through anecdotes of individual experiences that counter the era's popular conceptions of ballooning wealth and uproarious celebration. Mr. Goldman's presentation at Queens Historical Society will offer some Queens-centric material from the 1920s. Books will be available for purchase and signing!
Admission is $7 for non-members and $5 for members.
Limited on-site parking is available.
