New York's first museum, the New-York Historical Society, was born in the aftermath of revolutions-in America, France and Haiti-that reverberated like rolling thunder back and forth across the Atlantic, with consequences that are still felt today.

The New-York Historical Society, one of America's pre-eminent cultural institutions, is dedicated to fostering research, presenting history and art exhibitions, and public programs that reveal the dynamism of history and its influence on the world of today.

On Thursday, October 27, Emory University's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra will come together for 'A Family Affair.' The event, chaired by Madeline and Howell Adams, will feature dinner and a concert. Led by Music Director Robert Spano, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra will perform the U.S. premiere of Esa-Pekka Salonen's Nyx in Atlanta Symphony Hall at the Woodruff Arts Center. The program also will include Scriabin's Poem of Ecstasy and Rachmaninov's The Bells.

Ambassador Andrew Young today joined Samuel Nappi, Ruth Hendel and Steven Hendel to announce that Moments with Dr. King is preparing for preliminary stagings prior to a Broadway production, and that Congressman John Lewis has joined the team as an advisor. The announcement was initially scheduled to take place in August, coinciding with the anniversary of Dr. King's speech at 1963's March on Washington and the dedication of the National Memorial to Martin Luther King in the capitol city, but it was postponed due to Hurricane Irene. The announcement was made today in tribute to Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth -- a leading civil rights pioneer, co-founder of Dr. King's primary civil rights organization, and a central figure in the groundbreaking events with Dr. King in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963 -- who passed away yesterday.
