📚 Lecture: “The Beauty of the Bronx: Architecture, Art, and Culture”

🎤 Speaker: Historian, Sarah Eccles

For decades, the Bronx has been overshadowed by headlines of decay, disinvestment, and decline—a narrative rooted in redlining, urban renewal, and systemic neglect. However, behind this stigmatized image lies a borough of extraordinary beauty, resilience, and cultural depth. In her engaging talk, Sarah Eccles invites audiences to look beyond the stigma and discover the Bronx as it truly is: a vibrant landscape of fine architecture, historic neighborhoods, and significant open spaces, all of which tell a richer American story.

Sarah Eccles is a historian with a B.A. in History from Fordham University and an M.S. in Historic Preservation from Pratt Institute. She works as a historian and researcher in New York City, focusing on highlighting the overlooked history and enduring beauty of the Bronx through her writing and content creation.
