PART 2 of “Carvs Throwback Thursdays” aka #BehindThePoem The year was 2013. I was working on my second degree as a full-time student and also as a full-time touring artist with @thestriversrow I was raised in Harlem and Upper Manhattan during a time of radical gentrification. Every time I would leave town and come back from the road, I would watch more Black and Latino owned businesses be priced out, more mom-and-pop shops shut down, watched entire families be displaced while more wealthy white people moved in. In my anger, I wrote a poem inspired by my brother @milesxhodges and #ZoraHoward as a prophetic cry for everyone to open their eyes to what was going on. I’ve been gone from New York for about 4 years. I miss the Harlem culture; I miss its people and I miss the community. Praying one day I can come back, and it can look like the Harlem I fell in love with. #spokenword #spokenwordpoetry #spokenwordartist #poetry #writer #Harlem

Kinda Interesting Things #335: The Story of Keron Thomas, the 16-year-old Who Took a New York City Train for a Joyride Every day, thousands of New Yorkers step aboard a subway train, and trust the person in the front to get them where they’re going. But in 1993, one of those train operators wasn’t who anyone thought he was. Keron Thomas had moved to Brownsville, Brooklyn from Trinidad with his family in the late 1980s, and he quickly fell in love with the subway. He rode the trains for hours, collected transit uniforms and equipment, and studied the Transit Authority’s rule book and training materials. Eventually, he decided to make his dream a reality. On May 8, 1993, Thomas got a blue Transit Authority shirt, a counterfeit ID, and made his way into the 207th Street Yard in Upper Manhattan. He signed in using the name “Regoberto Sabio,” an off-duty train operator, and claimed he was there for an overtime shift. He stepped into the cab of an eight-car A train and took it into passenger service. He made it all the way to Lefferts Blvd. in Queens, then started the trip back north. But near Washington Heights, Thomas took a curve too quickly, triggering the train’s automatic emergency brakes and he couldn’t reset them. This prompted an inspector to come aboard. Thomas was taken to Transit Authority headquarters for a drug test but he escaped from the building. Police arrested him at his mother’s home two days later.

New York City police raided Columbia University late on Tuesday to arrest dozens of pro-Palestinian demonstrators, some of whom had seized an academic building, and to remove a protest encampment the Ivy League school had sought to dismantle for nearly two weeks. Within three hours the campus had been cleared of protesters, said a police spokesperson, adding “dozens” of arrests were made. At the start of the raid around 9pm ET throngs of helmeted police marched onto the elite campus in upper Manhattan, a focal point of student rallies that have spread to dozens of schools across the US in recent days expressing opposition to Israel’s offensive in Gaza. “Were clearing it out,” the police officers yelled. Soon after, a long line of officers climbed into Hamilton Hall, an academic building that protesters had broken into and occupied in the early morning hours of Tuesday. Police entered through a second-story window, using a police vehicle equipped with a ladder. Students standing outside the hall jeered police with shouts of “Shame, shame!” Police were seen loading dozens of detainees onto a bus, each with their hands bound behind their backs by zip-ties, the entire scene illuminated with flashing red and blue lights of police vehicles.

The Hamilton Grange in Harlem Here are some clips from my visit to the Hamilton Grange National Memorial in Harlem this morning. “It is also known as The Grange or the Hamilton Grange Mansion, a National Park Service site in St. Nicholas Park in northern Manhattan, that preserves the relocated home of U.S. Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. Born and raised in the West Indies, Hamilton came to New York in 1772 at age 17 to study finance at King’s College (now Columbia University). Hamilton became a supporter of the cause of the American patriots during the political turmoil of the 1770s. As the first Secretary of the Treasury (1789-1795) he devised plans for funding the national debt, securing federal credit, encouraging expansion of manufacturing, and organizing the federal bank. Hamilton commissioned architect John McComb Jr. to design a Federal style country home in upper Manhattan. This house was completed in 1802 and named “The Grange” after the Hamilton family’s ancestral home in Scotland.” @nationalparkfoundation Tag someone you’d like to visit the Hamilton Grange with in Harlem. HOURS Wednesday - Sunday, from 10:00 - 5:00 pm Admission is Free 📍 Hamilton Grange National Memorial is 414 West 141st St, St. Nicholas Park in the Hamilton Heights neighborhood in Harlem, Manhattan, New York City #alexanderhamilton #hamiltongrange #hamilton #harlem #hamiltongrangenationalmemorial #newyork #newyorkcity #historiclandmark #harlem #nyclandmarks #likenewyorkcity #MySecretNYC #nycityworld #timeoutnewyork #ItsTimeForNYC #ThingsToDoInNYC #nycexplore #picturesofnewyork #WeLoveNYC
