Michael Keene Lecture on Thursday, 10/1 at 11 AM

Michael Keene, one of our more popular presenters, has produced a unique online program to discuss his latest book, titled, “New York City’s Hart Island: A Cemetery of Strangers”.

 

The program is scheduled for Thurs. October 1st, 2020 and will run from 11:00 a.m. – 11:30 p.m. EST.

The book is about the history of Hart island that has been used as New York City’s Potters Field for the past 150 years. It’s estimated that there are nearly 1,000,000 people buried there.
 
As a result of recent advances in DNA and fingerprint technology we now know who some of these unfortunate people are including several famous actors, writers, and musicians. 
 
Through the use of archival photographs, original music and narration, Mike will reveal a secret kept hidden for 150 years.
 
There is no cost to view the production but registration is required. To do so simply go to Mike’s website at michaeltkeene.com/registration

An Easy Way To Support N-AHS

We do not like to bother you with pleas for support.  Most of you are members of N-AHS, who support us in various ways as an ongoing commitment to the organization.  We appreciate that sentiment.

We have our BBQ Fundraiser on Sept 27th and we will again be selling collectible calendars at the end of the year.  We hope you will support these offerings.  But there is an ongoing way for you to support us.  If you are an Amazon shopper, just buy your products using Amazon Smile.

Once you register for Amazon Smile, we will receive a charitable gift from Amazon based on your purchases.  The only change for you is that you will need to access smile.amazon.com instead of amazon.com when you shop.  That’s it.  The link is below, and is also posted on the Contact/Join/Support page.  Register today.
