\n The website is sponsored by the National Park Service and describes the historical Plymouth Church of the Pilgrims and its famously anti-slavery minister Henry Ward Beecher. Beecher and his church were central to the abolitionist movement. The church held \u201cslave auctions\u201d to purchase the freedom of enslaved people as well as illustrate the inhumanity of slavery. Beecher advocated his congregation help slaves gain freedom by disobeying Fugitive Slave Laws and participating actively in the Underground Railroad.
\nA Biography of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
\n By William Constantine Beecher, Samuel Scoville, Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher
\n
\nThis biography recounts Rev. Beecher\u2019s early family life, his youth, being called to preach and later his work as a minister and abolitionist in Brooklyn. Chapter fifteen speaks directly to the issue of the slave auctions that took place in Plymouth Church of the Pilgrims and specifically the auction that purchased the freedom of \u201cPinky\u201d in 1860. This is not a book that the average elementary school student could read independently, nor is all of the (deeply religious) subject matter appropriate. This would be a great book to read select passages from aloud to fourth or fifth grade students. The story of \u201cPinky\u201d is especially riveting and the students would relate to the fact that she was only nine years old when this event took place.

\n1876....
\nCharles I. D. Looff, a Danish woodcarver, built the first carousel at Coney Island in 1876. It was installed at Vandeveer's bath-house complex at West 6th Street and Surf Avenue. The carousel consisted of hand-carved horses and animals standing two abreast, with a drummer and a flute player providing the music. A tent-top provided protection from the weather. The fare was five cents.
\n
\n
\nSometime in the 1800s...
\nFrom 1885 to 1896, the Coney Island Elephant was the first sight to greet immigrants arriving in New York, who would see it before the Statue of Liberty became visible.
