Kelly Anderson, director, “My Brooklyn: Race, Real Estate and the Future of Cities.”
Kelly Anderson screened her film “My Brooklyn: Race, Real Estate and the Future of Cities” at Syracuse University for about 100 people on Monday. The documentary tackles salient urban issues such as reverse red-lining, spacial wars, up-zoning and available v. affordable real estate.
The film exposes the gentrification of the borough that Anderson calls home, and features interviews with politicians and community activists. The work of NYC photographer Jamel Shabazz appears throughout the narrative (especially his vintage 80’s shots). Shabazz is also interviewed in the film and talks about historic properties such as the Albee Square Mall.
A Tale of Two Speeches
Friday, September 14th, 2012
SU alum Travis Mason (right) giving an award to Dr. Cornel West in 2005.
This post is about two people: one rising star and one Academy Award-winner.
It’s also about two speeches that were given about one week apart. One speech was given at a college convocation; the other at a political convention. One speech is about education; the other is about politics. One speech was given in Syracuse by Travis Mason, a government affairs analyst at Google; the other speech was given by actor/director Clint Eastwood in Tampa.
Can you guess which speech was most effective?

Hon. Langston McKinney
Today marked the end of an era. Syracuse City Court Judge Langston McKinney closed the chapter on his judicial service with a public valedictory exercise at the Onondaga Courthouse Building. Saying he wanted to pursue other interests that could not be done from the bench, McKinney and a few hundred of his friends celebrated and recollected on his more than 20 years of service.
Hon. Sandra Townes
Before he packed away his robe and gavel to accept the oath of private citizenship, Judge McKinney, in his last official act, swore in Judges Kate Rosenthal and Theodore Limpert.
