Madam C.J. Walker: How a St. Louis Washerwoman Built a Hair Care Empire

In 1900, the US census listed Sarah Breedlove as a laundress in St. Louis, a job that sometimes paid her as little as $1 a day (National Archives). Less than two decades later, as Madam C.J. Walker, she ran a hair care company with thousands of sales agents, lived in a Hudson Valley mansion designed by a Black architect, and was described at her death as the richest Black woman in the world (Indiana Historical Society, Snopes, citing the New York Age).

The Day the Sky Turned Black: The 1934 Dust Bowl Clouds Over Manhattan

On May 11, 1934, New Yorkers looked up and saw something that did not belong in the Manhattan sky. A strange gray haze spread over the city, dimming the spring sunshine and making familiar landmarks difficult to see. Streetlights came on in the middle of the day. From the observation deck of the Empire State Building, visitors could no longer make out Central Park. The material drifting through the streets had not come from a local fire or an industrial smokestack. It was soil from the Great Plains, carried more than a thousand miles by the wind.

'The Chair Company,' 'Focker-in-Law' among shows filmed in Westchester

Lights, camera, Westchester! It's been a busy season on the big and little screen for Westchester with the county — and its businesses (mainly bars, a diner, a toy store and a mansion) — serving as background characters, first with the return of "The Gilded Age" on HBO and secondly with NBC's "Law & Order: SVU," which has seemingly been everywhere.

25 Famous Comedians You Didn’t Know Were From Upstate New York

New York City has long been one of America’s great comedy capitals, from earlier vaudeville theaters to Manhattan’s stand-up clubs and television studios. But some of the people who helped define American comedy came from places well beyond the five boroughs.
