These Jewish textile workers began migrating to Brick Lane at the end of the 19th century to escape pogroms in Eastern Europe; by 1900, up to 95 percent of the population in certain areas of the East End—the inner core of East London—was Jewish where they opened textile factories (and later began to employ Bangladeshis who moved to the neighborhood in subsequent decades) across from London’s Liverpool Street Station There I unearthed a VHS tape featuring a 1986 documentary called Brick Lane: (Sights & Sounds of the Jewish East End) written and directed by Michael and Aumie Shapiro Jewish Londoners who produced several volumes of anthologies memorializing the Jewish East End The documentary features a montage of photos taken in the late 19th and early 20th centuries depicting Brick Lane and nearby streets acknowledges the neighborhood’s evolution from Jewish to Bengali it no longer exists: It is now a Bangladeshi supermarket,” he explains of a synagogue on Heneage Street he observes: “Sewing machines are whirring away day and night in the workshops although the suede leather trade of the Bangladeshis has mainly taken over from the rag trade.” remnants of Brick Lane’s Jewish history sprinkle the street which sells bagels for less than one pound The only remaining Jewish business owner is Leo Epstein after fleeing the Holocaust just two decades before As the neighborhood became heavily Bangladeshi beginning in the 1970s recalled welcoming his new South Asian neighbors who were fleeing violence in Bangladesh during its Liberation War so why not make other refugees welcome?” Epstein told me as we sat in his office on a hot August day while his son and grandson attended to customers Many Jewish business owners packed up and moved out to the suburbs along Whitechapel High Street and across from a Tesco Express and a Lloyd’s Bank The little park is frequented by elderly white-haired Bangladeshi men smoking cigarettes and young mothers dressed in hijab and salwar kameez pushing their toddlers in strollers Named after a young Bangladeshi man who was stabbed to death in 1978 by white teenagers in an act of racist hate Altab Ali Park pays homage to the Bengali immigrants who left their homeland for the UK during and shortly after the Bangladesh Liberation War I couldn’t help but latch on to the fact that when he was murdered He worked in a garment factory off Brick Lane Exhausted from an afternoon spent ambling in the heat I sat on a bench along Altab Ali Park’s edge It felt eerie that I had returned to London during a summer of anti-immigrant riots so very similar to the ones that plagued London during the rise of the far-right British National Party in the 1980s it was personal: Brick Lane was targeted almost weekly by far-right agitators who spent their Sundays “chucking stones and milk bottles” into local businesses collecting their own glass milk bottles in case they were targeted Khalique was attacked by a dog that far-right agitators sent to chase him He still has a scar on his leg to prove it bearing witness to its gradual evolution from a humble Bangladeshi enclave to a hipster’s paradise in Shoreditch a global food hall housed in the historic Truman Brewery It is a far cry from what the East End used to be at what she describes as a “modern and aesthetic” South Asian cafe “Normally I would have met on Brick Lane,” she confesses “but it’s been one of those things where as I’ve grown up I’ve become less and less familiar with what’s open.” Some Londoners mourn the loss of Brick Lane’s Bengali character has protested the gentrification of Brick Lane pointed to redevelopment of historic spaces on Brick Lane when they were scared of Bengali migrants,” she explained “Now people are tapping into this weird thing of commodifying a particular working-class culture but then not wanting anything to do with the very people [who live there].” When I met the activists behind Nijjor Manush at the group’s office in Bethnal Green I’d been staying at an Airbnb flat located in the Boundary Estate a former social housing development just steps away from Brick Lane which is continuously rented out on Airbnb It made me wonder: Is the main problem facing Brick Lane really a perceived loss of its Bengali culture or is it the merciless displacement of the working class The redevelopment decried by Nijjor Manush isn’t confined to Brick Lane and Shoreditch Other neighborhoods in London—including the South London neighborhoods of Brixton and Peckham—are experiencing gentrification too and Nigerian populations that respectively shape each area For those who have lived and worked on Brick Lane “London is a multicultural city,” Begum said noting the importance of preserving its history through heritage efforts and museums “I think sometimes we might have to change to reflect that if you still want to exist in a place where it’s constantly shifting and changing you might have to change your business ideas.” has embraced the new business brought in by redevelopment and any footfall in the area is good,” he said “I’m bound to have some sort of new customers walk in front of our business.” But like Begum Khalique emphasized the importance of preserving Brick Lane’s Banglatown history through signage and other efforts to memorialize Brick Lane’s residents Perhaps the person who can best speculate on the neighborhood’s trajectory is Leo Epstein, who has worked on Brick Lane for the better part of a century, and, at 92, has lived for nearly its entirety. Epstein remains unfazed by the redevelopment and new businesses popping up along Brick Lane, including the Morley’s—the iconic South London chicken shop—that has emerged just next door to Epra Fabrics “It’s always been changing since the day we got here,” he told me recalling his first days working in the rag trade on Brick Lane “People move out; they don’t live here anymore The owners move out and they want to live in the suburbs And sometimes they move their businesses as well But I must confess that I’ve also indulged in Shoreditch’s Gen Z scene—yin yoga sessions at triyoga and barre classes at Psycle two new workout studios just off Brick Lane I noticed a sign inscribed with the street name’s Bengali transliteration “Huguenot.” It’s an inconspicuous reminder of the neighborhood’s

tourists of all backgrounds a South Asian American student reconnecting with her British roots through frequent sojourns in London where South Asians mostly began to shape the country in the late 20th century and are still making inroads into the country’s political and cultural landscapes in Britain the sheer depth of South Asian history and culture has always moved me Brick Lane is just one slice of South Asian Britain And even in tandem with redevelopment and change it’s clear—from street signs and parks that share its history and the history that came long before it—that its unique Bengali

Workers told News4JAX that a lot of work went into making sure driving along that part was safe. A portion of the road that goes along the river side of the park was permanently closed after Hurricane Matthew in 2016. Visitors said they were sad to hear about the erosion that shut down a portion of the park. “We like to come to Hugenot, it’s inexpensive especially in this economy right now, the way gas prices are, it’s a good summer getaway or the day, $5 a vehicle to get in so I was a little sad when they first reported it might be closed, but then the Facebook post came out and had a solution that they would be open by noon today,” Ila Allen said. Allen said she was at the park by 12:30 p.m. News4JAX reached out to the city about when repairs will be completed and is waiting for a response.

some groups still keep the tradition of this sticky sweet cake alive The cake is not linked to Charleston's French Protestant history but it's actually named for the former Huguenot Tavern according to food historian John Martin Taylor Tavern employee Evelyn Florance told the historian she'd first tasted the dessert at a church supper in Galveston She experimented with the recipe for a few years before putting it on the menu at Huguenot Tavern in 1942 She named it Ozark pudding in honor of her employer According to the late Southern food writer John Egerton the dish "apparently originated in the mountains of northwest Arkansas and southwest Missouri."  A Huguenot torte is rarely found in restaurants and bakeries but here's a recipe from the 1950 "Charleston Receipts" cookbook Beat whole

says Huguenot Park off Heckscher Drive is closed Friday, because the road is washed out. A big section of the road that goes along the river side of the park was permanently closed after Hurricane Matthew in 2016. But, people still have to use that reconfigured road to get to the beach. The city hopes to reopen the park by this weekend. Huguenot is the only beach in Duval County you can drive on. An important regional recreational draw on Florida’s First Coast has been temporarily knocked out of commission due to high tides and damage to a roadway Huguenot Memorial Park located at 10980 Heckscher Drive in Jacksonville has been temporarily closed due to high tides that have damaged one of the main roads entering the facility Jacksonville officials closed the city park Thursday because the entrance road eroded into the St “There is damage to the entry road at Huguenot Memorial Park Our goal is to get the park back open at least on a limited basis by this weekend,” said Phil Perry chief communications officer for the city of Jacksonville Huguenot Memorial Park is a major draw for beachgoers from throughout the North Florida and South Georgia region Johns River on the north side of the jetties that augment commercial shipping and recreational boating to pass into the interior of North Florida and exit into the Atlantic Ocean Depending on the time of the year, it’s estimated that 10,000 to 20,000 vehicles enter Huguenot Park each weekend. The park, directly across the St. Johns River from Mayport Naval Station to the south is the last beach that allows driving on the shoreline which is dotted with sand dunes and no buildings are on the coastal area of the park The main access road has long been an issue at the park since it runs parallel to the river before it crosses onto the oceanfront “Electrical infrastructure had to be relocated and the roadway was impassable forcing closure of the park A temporary road is being constructed to allow the park to open for day users starting Saturday June 22nd at 2 p.m We will be updating the potential to reopen the camping facilities next week,” Perry said noting the park has dozens of camping spots for tents and recreational vehicle campers The effects from hurricanes in 2016 and 2017 heavily damaged the main entry roadway for the park and city officials have had to provide constant upgrades and revisions since There have been temporary closures on and off in the past several years The astronomical high tides in recent days have caused additional damage to that entry roadway While the immediate remedies to the access road will help open the park for the weekend Perry said the city is aiming for  a more permanent solution in order to avoid the periodic closures in the future park staff have been working with an engineering consultant to develop a road relocation plan for the area that has been eroding following storms and high tides have increased erosion over the past two years We are now working with state and federal permitting agencies a road solution to bypass the collapsed roadway,” Perry said Drew Dixon is a journalist of 40 years who has reported in print and broadcast throughout Florida, starting in Ohio in the 1980s.

We're halfway there," said attorney Joe Massie. He said with the criminal case involving Jackson's death concluded "It's been hell," he said of what the family has experienced for the past year The lawsuit names the Richmond School Board former Huguenot assistant principal Kevin Olds one they squeezed Shawn Jackson into that graduation knowing that he had previous threats against his life they had a duty to protect him," said attorney Brian Telfair who alleged the victims' civil rights were violated and that staff were not properly trained and did not adequately prepare security measures at the ceremony It's obvious that they failed in their duty to protect him Telfair said school staff could have done several things to prevent their deaths This included not allowing Jackson to take part in the ceremony as he was finishing classes at home due to threats of neighborhood violence They failed to adequately train their employees because one of the employees knew that he shouldn't have been there."When asked for a response to the lawsuit CBS 6 Legal Analyst Ed Riley said the lawsuit faces several hurdles including qualified immunity for the defendants "They have some protections that are hard to get around And the plaintiff's lawyer has to show deliberate indifference to the Civil Rights of these proceedings "And if you read their cause of action…you will note all the things that they listed throughout that aiming at that deliberate or what they want the trier of fact…to believe as a deliberate indifference." Riley added the lawyers would also have to show a practice of violating those rights "And that's not easy to show either," he said the idea of the school is to do just the opposite of that are not perfect and people slip through the cracks and all that type of thing The lawsuit said the family seeks a trial by jury their attorneys said they are open to a settlement if it is reasonable You don't have to go through this stress as much," said Massie Lawyers said while no date has been set for an initial hearing on this case This is a developing story.

Maxwell Ervanian said. Ervanian talked about the biggest issue lifeguards witness. "Our most common water rescue issue is going to be due to people overestimating their ability of swimming in the ocean,” Ervanian said. That’s why he stressed the importance of people understanding how dangerous the ocean can be. According to JBOR’s annual report, in 2023, there were nearly 6,000 calls for service with 915 being water-related incidents, which was an increase from 2022. With Memorial Day Weekend days away, Ervanian has a message for swimmers: “If you’re not the most experienced swimmer, stay out of the water or stay in ankle-deep water or less,” Ervanian said. “Anytime you see the red flags, we always urge bathers and beachgoers that knee deep is too deep,” Ervanian said. Ervanian also suggested beachgoers never swim alone and swim near a lifeguard. Serving the tunnelling industry since 1969 The project aims to expand and upgrade the 3.9km Huguenot Tunnel The South African National Roads Agency (SANRAL) is set to open tenders for a ZAR4.5bn ($250m) upgrade to the Huguenot Tunnel Construction on this project along the N1 national road is anticipated to commence in the first half of 2025 The project seeks to expand and enhance the 3.9km toll tunnel, Africa’s longest road tunnel The Huguenot Tunnel is said to have seen over 125 million vehicles pass through to date It serves as a critical link between Cape Town and the northern regions of South Africa The Huguenot Tunnel passes through the Du Toit’s Kloof Mountains approximately 80km outside Cape Town South Africa’s Transport Minister Barbara Creecy said that the tunnel is important in facilitating the movement of goods and people while emphasising the economic benefits the upgrade will bring to the Western Cape Creecy noted the tunnel’s current limitations with traffic restricted to one lane each way and an average of 13,000 vehicles passing daily increasing to 25,000 during peak holiday periods The new section will add two lanes in each direction reducing congestion and improving transport efficiency this stretch of the N1 is really important because it connects the ports of Cape Town and Saldanha to the hinterland This is a very significant agricultural region but there’s also traffic coming from the north of the region and country as well “Once the upgrade of the tunnel has been completed in three to four years from now we will have two lanes carrying traffic in each direction which will significantly reduce congestion.” SANRAL CEO Reginald Demana confirmed the construction will include critical upgrades to ventilation and electrical systems in line with modern safety requirements Initial works have started but full electrical upgrades will proceed once the North Bore Demana said: “The South Bore of the Huguenot Tunnel was built in the 1980s so it requires a significant safety upgrade in relation to electricity supply and ventilation “Some of that work has been able to happen over the last couple of years but the electricity supply can only be significantly upgraded once we move all the traffic to the new section of the tunnel which will be constructed over the next few years.” consulting engineering firm SMEC South Africa was appointed by SANRAL to oversee design and construction supervision for the project SMEC South Africa’s scope includes both the preliminary and detailed design stages This infrastructure initiative aligns with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s broader investment strategy to stimulate economic growth and job creation Creecy noted that the project will create substantial employment and contracting opportunities supporting government objectives for inclusive growth and poverty reduction Give your business an edge with our leading industry insights View all newsletters from across the Progressive Media network © Business Trade Media International Limited WRIC ABC 8News A deadly shooting took place following the June 6 graduation ceremony for Huguenot High School which was held at Richmond’s Altria Theater Two people — 18-year-old graduate Shawn Jackson and his stepfather Lorenzo Smith — were killed and several others were injured Richmond City Public Schools was placed under significant scrutiny A third-party report into this incident released in January 2024 made apparent several missteps RPS took both prior to and during the ceremony reigniting that anger and grief.The suspect He was initially charged in connection to both Jackson and Smith’s deaths but the murder charge for Smith was later dropped.During his February 2024 trial Pollard’s legal team argued Pollard shot Jackson in self-defense Pollard’s lawyer changed his plea to guilty for both charges and was sentenced to serve 25 years in prison.In early April 2024 Pollard’s lawyer filed a motion to withdraw that guilty plea saying he and the judge both “erred” during proceedings “You simply cannot have that many errors and still have Justice for Amari Pollard.”As to who shot and killed Smith Editor’s note: Backstage is a regular feature in Enjoy that offers a glimpse behind the scenes of those who work in theater If you are involved in the arts and would like to contribute to this feature About six months ago I started seriously considering taking a poem I had written and turning it into a children’s book about the Huguenots of New Paltz The subject of my town’s local history had been on my mind for a few reasons I am a descendent of the New Paltz Huguenots I am related to one of the first Huguenots to ever lay eyes on the land of what is now known as New Paltz My lineage goes all the way back to Louis DuBois so I had a direct interest in telling my family’s history I was also inspired to write a children’s book about the Huguenots because I work at Historic Huguenot Street as the School Programming Coordinator It’s my job to try and make this subject relatable to kids while I was laying in bed (my mind seems to be its most creative when I am in relaxation mode) I got to about the third stanza before I decided I better get out of bed to write this stuff down because it was pretty good I stayed up awhile because once the creative juices started flowing I couldn’t turn them off rhyming poem written about the Huguenots and their journey starting in France and finally ending up in their home of New Paltz I shared the poem with some friends the next day who were just as excited as I was about it With a little tweaking here and there over the next several weeks I had turned my poem into what I thought could be a really cool kids story maybe it didn’t have to be just a kids story since I knew plenty of people who had lived in New Paltz all their lives and who didn’t know a thing about the history behind it Maybe I could actually make a book that was appealing to young and old I thought about the book idea for a while but The poem just sat there for months because the idea of actually making a book seemed a little daunting After batting the idea around with a few friends I got connected with local illustrator Matthew Kelly who was willing to sketch the book out for me When he started doing the paintings of his illustrations I knew we really had something The funding is the last piece of the puzzle for this project Just recently I launched a Kickstarter page to raise the funds for the publishing and printing of the book You can check it out at: www.kickstarter.com/projects/652098140/hugo-the-huguenot The goal is to raise $5,000 for the printing and publishing fees any additional proceeds raised will go into printing more books The excitement continues to grow as this book becomes a reality Matt and I hope that this book ends up in libraries your home so that you can read it to your kids and grandkids Jen Bruntil is former teacher and currently works at Historic Huguenot Street as the School Programming Coordinator She lives in New Paltz with her husband Bennett and her two daughters The Jacksonville Parks and Recreation Department reports that Huguenot Park sustained an estimated $900,000 in damage from Hurricane Matthew Parks Director Daryl Joseph said that the park’s entry road sustained the most significant damage The entire road is cracked to the point that it’s not safe for visitors to use That alone is going to set back the reopening of the popular park until spring Joseph said that the entry road is the only paved road in the park and allows visitors to get to and from the beach “Without the entry road we can’t allow people into the park,” he said “That’s what’s technically keeping the park closed at this point and that’s why we’re pressed to get the entry road back open.” The department is also introducing a bill to City Council next week requesting to use $550,000 in capital improvement money for entry road repairs The funding was originally allocated for an alternate road project in Huguenot Park Joseph said that the department now wants to add road repairs to the project Slideshow: Hurricane Matthew aftermath at Huguenot Park He expects the City Council to approve the money by December and will start the construction bid process in January Joseph said repairs will take three months to complete The department aims to open Huguenot Park at some point next spring The alternate road will be built farther up the shoreline due to shoreline erosion Joseph said the project will be included in the department’s capital improvement project plan for 2017 The additional money will give the department what it needs to build the new road In the department’s preliminary damage assessment it will cost $100,000 to repair flooding damage to the park’s main office building and replace equipment inside trash cans and lifeguard stations damaged by winds and waves and $100,000 to repair or replace picnic shelters in the park It will cost $550,000 to repair the entry road The department is working with the city’s Emergency Preparedness Office and contractors to get the exact cost of repairs It expects to get those numbers in the next few weeks and will present them to the Federal Emergency Management Agency for possible funding toward repairs The department started assessing damage to the park the day after Hurricane Matthew hit the Northeast Florida coast Assessment continues as it gets exact cost of repairs which makes it that much more attractive,” said Joseph “So it is our first priority to get that back open.” The Huguenots was a name given to 16th century French Protestants who fled across Europe a local historian who lives in the Tenters has a Huguenot background: her paternal grandmother’s family they settled in Weaver Square way back in the 1600s O’Reilly told the Liberty that the Huguenots were invited to Ireland by the Duke of Ormond having been persecuted in France for their religious beliefs it was seen as a way of increasing the Protestant population She adds that “although the weaving industry was already established the Huguenots enhanced the existing industry by introducing more refined skills which could be made from either fine wool or silk was particularly sought after and was exported far and wide The area became known as the Tenters because the site originally housed tenter fields.  Tenters were big wooden posts standing upright and alongside them were horizontal rows of posts they were then stretched width and length ways along the hooks to help the drying process This is where the term tenting comes from because when the wind blew The saying “on tenterhooks” comes from this practice associated with the weaving process In its heyday their weaving industry is estimated to have employed more than 20,000 people A great addition and help to weavers in drying of the cloths was the construction of the tenters stove house in Cork Street built in 1814 and financed by Thomas Pleasants which meant the heat would rise up through the building  This allowed the weavers work in all weather conditions The building, is now reimagined, and is part of the Sophia Housing complex which had been a sought-after trade for nearly 200 years This was as a result of British government policy which introduced laws to limit the export of woollen cloth from Ireland in order to make sure the counterpart British industry did not suffer The story of weaving is kept alive by the Liberties Weavers (off St Luke’s Ave) This is a project run by volunteers who organise workshops and exhibitions in schools and in the local community The history of the Huguenots lives on in some of the names in the area such as Weaver Square Marrowbone Lane (Marie la Bonne) and Malpas Street As well as being known for their skills in textiles The Huguenots were also known for watchmaking and finance The La Touche family were one of the first banking families in Ireland and their name lives on in Greystones with the La Touche hotel and surrounding area There are a number of Huguenot cemeteries in Dublin the one closest to the Tenters is known as the Cabbage Field is believed to have been buried there in 1745 the better-known one is located on Merrion Row and is maintained by Dublin City Council But what is it like to live in the Tenters these days The area has a younger population now and has become more gentrified with a combination of renovations of the old and some new builds “There is a friendliness that was particularly notable during the pandemic  People were out on the street chatting with each other which was a lifeline for people who lived alone” Ms Colucci’s biggest regret with all the new changes in the area is the loss of the market in Newmarket Square which sold anything from health foods to furniture and was a great way to meet people at the weekends This area now houses Teelings Distillery and further down the road is student accommodation which she feels would have been better served as private housing rather than the transient nature of student accommodation Huguenot High School's graduation ceremony is scheduled for May 30 a focus on the worst day in our school’s history doesn’t offer a full picture of our community have diligently worked

which our Huguenot students faculty and staff are excited to see the media arrive and the public anticipates reading and viewing life-affirming stories about their children More Americans than ever are earning diplomas which boosts earnings and decreases their risk of unemployment higher education is coming at a greater cost to many Americans Learner analyzed data from the Census Bureau via the University of Minnesota IPUMS to determine the most common college majors for American workers may be due to a shift in job requirements: Roles that once required just a high school education now call for a college degree Americans holding bachelor's degrees had an unemployment rate of just 2.2% last year compared to 3.9% for those with only high school degrees according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics New York Federal Reserve research published in 2019 found that college graduates had a substantial premium over workers with only high school degrees earning about $30,000 a year more on average They estimate that for students who complete their degrees the return on investment for a college degree is around 14% Business is by far the most common undergraduate major around 8.5 million adults working full-time had a bachelor's degree in a business-related field while 2.9 million of them also earned some kind of postgraduate degree in the field such as a master's degree in business or accounting Common jobs for business majors include accountants who make a median income of $80,000 yearly; financial analysts who make around $100,000; and market researchers Engineering and education were the next most common fields for full-time workers bachelor's degrees tend to be more common than postgraduate degrees but life science is an exception to that rule there were 1.7 million full-time American workers with both a life science undergraduate degree and at least some kind of postgraduate degree but only 1.1 million workers with just a bachelor's degree in the field Many research jobs require a postgraduate degree who earn a median salary of $107,460 annually can get entry-level jobs with a bachelor's degree but tend to need an advanced degree as well workers with postgraduate degrees typically earn more than those with only bachelor's degrees The highest earners with a bachelor's degree tend to be engineering and computer science majors with median annual salaries of $96,000 and $91,000 a postgraduate degree boosts their annual earnings to $127,000 and $120,000 there's a significant difference in earnings between workers holding undergraduate and postgraduate degrees Communications majors with an advanced degree earn a median salary of $107,000 a year nearly double that of their peers holding just a bachelor's degree In recent years, increased awareness about the burden of high-interest student loan debt has challenged the value of a college education. The average U.S. household with bachelor's degree debt owes $29,100, while households with graduate school debt owe over double that amount, with an average of $77,300, according to a 2023 Nerdwallet study The New York Fed found that the return on investment for college graduates has fallen slightly in recent years due to increasing costs. The College Board found that four-year college costs amount to around $20,000 yearly at public schools with in-state tuition and $35,000 a year at private schools after accounting for financial aid some employers that once considered a four-year degree a vital requirement no longer do wages for many lower-paid jobs are catching up to office jobs that require a college education especially those with an academic aptitude earning a degree can still make financial sense This story originally appeared on Learner and was produced and distributed in partnership with Stacker Studio Tian’na Goins, Ashanti Wallace, Nestor Gallardo-Lopez, Aquirah Battle, Nathen Munoz-Giron and Crystal Akunwafor are members of the Huguenot Activists Association at Huguenot High.

Interpretation manager at Historic Huguenot Street born and raised on a family farm in Wallkill will now be in charge of the tours that are given weekly even several times a day during the busy season along Huguenot Street: the oldest incorporated street in America preserved and protected in the Village of New Paltz with stone houses and revolutionary forts dating back centuries Moran finds that much of its vitality is what exists beyond the structures themselves – or underneath them where enslaved African Americans slept in longhouses where indigenous tribes once flourished – and into the larger community itself it’s as much about New Paltz’s diverse history as it is making connections with the people on the tour,” said Moran I want everyone to feel the connection with New Paltz whether they’re descendants of the 12 Huguenot families who signed the patent or descendants of the vibrant African American community or Esopus-Munsee tribes or that they went to college here or rock-climb every summer or had ties to a family that were not the ‘12 families,’ but were every bit as much a part of New Paltz’s history.’ I want to talk about the Revolutionary War the role women have played at every stage and Jason West,” referencing the former Village mayor who presided over 25 same-sex marriages in 2004 Moran’s desire to read every book ever written about New Paltz and take deep dives into the documents and research conducted by his peers and predecessors is contagious He believes that all of New Paltz’s historians “are having a dialogue with each other Ralph LeFevre is talking to Susan Stessin-Cohen who is talking to Ruth Heidgerd who is talking to Eric Roth” – all authors of either papers and/or books about various aspects of New Paltz history someone is standing where I am now [inside the French Huguenot Church] talking about what a fool I was to have interpreted history in some way or another and I feel so fortunate to be in a position where I can talk about it and share it and learn about it every day.” Moran – whose grandmother was a Janssen and has lineage going back to the original patentees – always enjoyed history and outings with his family to local museums and historical sites like the one on Huguenot Street and found himself gravitating toward history in under the tutelage of Wallkill High School teacher Glenn LaPolt “I think that Moran side of me led me to become very interested in Irish history I kept thinking that I should pick a more standard career path – one that would lead to a job.” he found his way to Historic Huguenot Street (HHS) to be a summer tour guide and as our understanding of history has evolved over the decades to become much more inclusive and multicultural those scripts become more complex and exciting.” Moran enjoyed the people he worked with and kept coming back to work part-time That’s what I loved.” So much so that Moran did a semester abroad in Ireland where he could really sink into the bog of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland’s historic strife and the Colonial role that Brittan played and still plays in that dynamic He became so enamored with historical relevance and accuracy and theories that he applied for and was admitted into the PhD program at SUNY Binghamton where he planned on continuing his focus on Irish history or aspects of 20th-century American history “I found that being a TA [teaching assistant] and writing papers was not as rewarding as the work I was doing right here [at HHS] I realized that I could have so much more of a direct effect with public history and public outreach than sending an academic paper into the ether and I do want to go back and get my PhD at some point; but there’s so much richness right here.” Now Moran can apply his formal academic training toward historical accuracy which he believes leans more toward multiculturalism than it does the overarching “12 Huguenot founding fathers of New Paltz” type of narrative It’s very complex and rich and at times hard to look at.” He’s referring to the Huguenots owning people and enslaving them as well as some land deals with the Esopus Munsee tribes in 1677 that were in reality exploitive land steals at best “Even the ‘Huguenots’ included so many different cultural heritages,” said Moran “I think inclusivity is bringing all of this into the tours and history is not fixed.” Moran is a huge advocate of empowering people with historical knowledge but most of all making them feel that connection to New Paltz Asked what area compels him the most when it comes to local history It speaks so much to some of these power imbalances that have gone on throughout the centuries.” There are questions of who has a burial site and was it recorded provide a trove of information for historians like Moran and the staff he so admires at HHS “We have the French Huguenot Church Cemetery [on Huguenot Street] and the African American burial ground site [on Huguenot Street] and the Rural Cemetery [on Plains Road] as well as dozens of family cemeteries on private land and old farms,” he said “There’s so much more research to be done there these burial grounds that we know exist have such a direct connection to the present,” because of being able to walk among them read the headstones and see the engravings and style of the memorial stones Although he has been at this post for just under a year Moran said that he feels “like I just started I can’t believe how much I learn every day I feel so fortunate that HHS has positions where we can actually work as

because of a missing swimmer Saturday crews were spotted removing what appeared to be a body from a boat at Alimacani Park The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office did not confirm until Monday that the swimmer’s body was recovered Saturday The swimmer disappeared shortly after 1 p.m in the waters on the Fort George Inlet side of Huguenot Park JFRD said it was using marine and air units and was working with Huguenot lifeguards and the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office in the search which was turned over to JSO just before 4 p.m News4JAX received a tip that a body had been recovered in the water of Fort George Inlet The body was taken by boat to Alimacani Park JSO confirmed the body was recovered on Saturday saying a man was swimming with friends at Huguenot Park when he was swept out by a strong current and several citizens on boats and personal watercraft searched for the man The JSO Dive Team eventually found the man’s body after several hours The Medical Examiner will perform an autopsy to determine his exact cause of death but police said there were no signs of foul play Crews are searching for a missing swimmer at Hugenot park…this is a multi agency search involving us, the
