Author Talk: New York City Monuments of Black Americans

Join us for a special author talk with David Felsen, co-hosted by the Ethical Culture Society and the Community Coalition on Race. In New York City Monuments of Black Americans: A History and Guide, Felsen uncovers the powerful and often overlooked stories behind thirty monuments honoring Black Americans—from Booker T. Washington to Harriet Tubman—and explores the long struggle for recognition in the city’s public spaces. As we continue our 2026 theme, “Do Not Erase Our History,” this timely conversation invites us to reflect on whose stories are commemorated, whose are excluded, and how public memory shapes our collective understanding of justice and belonging.
