Scholar Peter Eisenstadt will examine how New York State has come to be viewed as a state divided into two ill-defined halves: "upstate" and "downstate," yet has often functioned as a coherent social, economic, and political entity. It is in the efforts to overcome the state's inherent heterogeneity, from the building of the Erie Canal, to the reform efforts of Governors Al Smith and Franklin Roosevelt, that New York State has been at its best, and has often led the way in showing the nation how to combine its diversity with a sense of unity and purpose. Peter Eisenstadt is a historian who has worked extensively on the History of New York City and New York State. He was the managing editor of the Encyclopedia of New York City (1995), and editor-in-chief of the Encyclopedia of New York State (2005). This program, which is free and open to the public, is made possible through the support of the New York Council for the Humanities’ Speakers in the Humanities program. The program will be presented at the Geneva Historical Society, 543 South Main St., Geneva. Parking for the program is on the street or in the Trinity Episcopal Church lot across the street. For more information about this lecture, call the Society office at 315-789-5151.
