Remembering With Respect

I feel very fortunate to have been born and raised in New York City. It is a very special place that stirs strong passions for me personally, not all of them always so good!

But I grew up living in and with what today is know as multiculturalism. Only we didn’t have that word then. It was just New York and it was just another neighborhood with people who were a little bit different from us. That’s what made them so interesting. And the city so great.

I remeber my grandfather telling us he invited one of his fellow laborers from the work site to share dinner. His co-worker was an American Indian (that’s what he was called back in the ’30s.)

Only in New York.

In tribute to this magnificent monstrosity of a city, I would like to share Seth Godin’s blog post for today: It’s Different Here.

Enjoy it.
