elmontlibrary.orgThe Season of Giving with the Zuckermans
During this holiday season, learn about the lives of many of New York’s most generous people. You will often be surprised by some of their humble beginnings and how their experiences made them appreciate how fortunate they were and turned them into some of the major benefactors in the City. We will discuss politicians, celebrities, and cultural icons who have left or are leaving their mark on society. Some of these include: Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Andrew Carnegie, Michael Bloomberg, Josephine Baker, Beyoncé, Lillian Wald, Alex Rodriguez, Eli Manning, and many more. Join us on our adventure around New York City to follow these fascinating lives and the places associated with them.
