PhotoTalk Presentation

The Dutch & Their New York Legacy

DUTCH HISTORY can be elusive – it’s rarely taught in our schools and with so many disparate parts it often follows a meandering, convoluted path and connections are obscured. Historian/film-maker Stephen Blauweiss & Historian/Pastor Rob Sweeney bring this history to life in a fun and engaging way, using a vast array of quality images, maps, and timelines. What was once opaque becomes clear and understandable as the stories unfold and connect on multiple levels.
