Summary: <p>Curators Steve Jaffe and Sarah Seidman discuss Jaffe’s new book, <em>Activist New York: A History of People, Protest, and Politics</em>. The book takes a sweeping look at the over 400 years (1650-2010s) of activism in New York City and is also a visual companion to the Museum of the City of New York's ongoing exhibit of the same name. With a resurgence in activism across the U.S., this serves as a timely reminder of New York City's place as the "capital city of social activism."</p> <p>On September 6 at 6:30 pm <a href="https://www.gothamcenter.org/">The Gotham Center for New York History</a> will be hosting, 'Does Protest Still Matter?
