Historic Heritage of Old New York Panel Discussion

The NYPR Archive Collections | Jan 1, 2000

Historic Heritage of Old New York, Sponsored by the Downtown Manhattan Association usually features dramatizations of historic events that occurred in New York, made for educational purposes. This program instead features a panel discussion considering the wealth of historic material that occurred in Lower Manhattan and whether the program deserves continuation.

Panelists include Percival Robert Moses [no relation], president of the Downtown Manhattan Association, William T. Van Atten, president of the Holland Society of New York, Raymond D. Parker, representing the Downtown Athletic Club, and Richard Arden of the New York Journal American. L. Porter Moore moderates.
