This website was created by Macaulay Honors students at Hunter College as part of their first-year seminar, The Peopling of New York, taught by Professor Bernadette McCauley. As part of their neighborhood study of Greenwich Village, each student conducted an individual investigation on a topic of their choice and produced a documented research paper which presented their findings. Those topics are listed below. For the website project, the class chose to present their research papers as news articles, organized in three different sections: People; Culture; and Politics & Controversies.
