Mike Gilliam’s visit to the Tenement Museum in the Lower East Side.
The Tenement Museum preserves the history of immigration through the personal accounts of those who built lives in the Lower East Side. Visitors can view restored apartments from the 19th and 20th centuries, walk the historic neighborhood, and interact with residents to learn the stories of generations of immigrants who helped shape the American experience.
The museum is available by guided tour only. Each tour focuses on a specific theme and takes visitors to a different area of the building or neighborhood.
Show: Arts in the City
Aired: July 2015

Movies like A Tree Grows In Brooklyn shows the family living in tenements and the Bowery Boys even On the Waterfront.

I came to this video after re-watching "Once Upon a Time in America." It's amazing how the tenement they show in that movie is nearly identical to this one.

I was born in Brooklyn 1951 and I grew up in a tenement I would have been better off living in the subway one sink and one tub for eight families I feel for the early immigrants I was living large compared to them !!!

The tenements were horribly unsafe. It was so much worse than you can imagine. Learning about it in school right now.

Thank you for your input. This is very interesting but then again NYC was built by immigrants. It is such an architecturally diverse city.

@Simple Man - "The early 20's", as you say, came sixty years after the Civil War, so this would be an impossibility. But I'd be interested in knowing which particular immigrant groups are you incorrectly referring?

I like the idea but I guarantee it's not representative of what tenement life was like. Where are the bedbugs? The roaches? The Flies? The excrement all around the toilet? The waste dripping from pipes? The filth and above all the smell? It's literally a sanitized version of history. I hate to say it but I think it does more harm than good.

@paulaharrisbaca4851 3 жыл бұрын

I have to say that before welfare, people worked their way out of this because it was horrible. But LBJ's "Great Society" made it comfortable to be poor and it was patronizing as well. Obama said Americans needed to get over their pride and accept food stamps. Well, I'm sorry, but some people find that humiliation doesn't make you feel incentivized but instead, like in San Francisco, people give up, take the money and sleep like dogs on the street. No welfare back then, and only charity to help. Well, of course, you always need help for people, but helping people who actually could get along well and feel happier and self-sufficient on their own is better. Of course, abandoned people from fatherless homes punish themselves and thus we had the huge amount of homelessness drug addicts in blue cities. Dependence on the government winds up with angry frustrated people who feel locked into poverty instead of seeing the opportunity to get out at whatever cost. If you keep telling people they will never be able to get out because of "systemic racism" in a land of opportunity, that's just putting a curse on those people.
