Cynthia Hesdra with Bill Batson

February 11, 2025 by helpdesk1

Without the work of local historians, the incredible achievements of Cynthia Hesdra, a woman of color, entrepreneur, and abolitionist born in 1808, would have been unheralded. She is now commemorated by a Toni Morrison “Bench by the Road” moment in Nyack’s Memorial Park. Nyack Sketch Log creator Bill Batson will describe the efforts to rescue her narrative from obscurity that continue today with the campaign to repair her tombstone in Mahwah, NJ, which was recently found to be toppled from its foundation. Presented by BACAS.

Circle Up

February 10, 2025 by helpdesk1

Our weekly poets circle, Circle Up, is happening every Thursday night from 6 PM to 7 PM at X House in Nyack. This week, I’m thinking on doing a performance/delivery workshop, but usually we do either writing or editing. If you want weekly emails or texts about that, let me know and I can add you to the proper list. If you can swing it, cost is $5, paid directly to the venue.
