"The picture is of the men of the social club, the SunRays. They had a place somewhere on that block. My father is wearing sunglasses and is kneeling the second from the right. Most of these guys were Sephardic Jews, who at one time lived in that vicinity. My father and my Uncle Hy, he’s the guy in the middle sitting on the chair, were the sole members of a separate sect of Sephardic Jews from Greece, called Romaniote Jews. They had a synagogue at 280 Broome Street between Allen and Ludlow. It has since become landmarked. That portion of Broome was renamed “Hy Genee Way” in honor of my uncle." - David Bellel

"This is my great-grandfather, Rosario Campanella, with his banana pushcart sometime in the 1930s. Although "Butch," as everyone called him, passed several years before I was born, I've always been in awe of him. He came to New York from Francavilla, Sicily, in 1909 and quickly found success in the fruit business as a seller, distributor, and shop owner. In this photo he's standing next to the family residence at 68 Henry Street, which he owned; the Manhattan Bridge is in the background. Butch kept the bananas in the basement and often offered it as a temporary place to stay for new arrivals -- at first his fellow Sicilians and in later decades the Greek and Chinese immigrants who came to the Two Bridges neighborhood." - Lori Wallach

"My parents, Claude and Helen Duchon, flew from Oklahoma to visit me after I had finished my first year as a doctoral student at NYU. The three of us took our first-ever trip to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island—because you never think to visit those places until family visits you. It was a perfect day for sightseeing in New York Harbor." - Lisa Duchon

"The fashionable J. McLaughlin family." - Eduardo Duarte Ruas

From Amy Peck: Amy Peck (me), 2 years old on shoulders of her father, John B. Peck, near where they lived, probably taken by my mother. Starve a rat day, an event on 21st Street Chelsea, on the block I lived on from 1966 or 1967 until 1979. I am in the background wearing the same plaid pants as in photo titled 20th street, which is Amy Peck 7 years old and her sister Sally Peck 5 years old. I think my father liked the advertisements.

From Aaron Eng-Achson: Here is a photo of my dad (Allan Eng-Achson) and me. My father was an active leader in New York City’s Chinatown. I always felt very proud of my father when I stood next to him. He was a World War 2 veteran and served in the 1st Armored Division as a technical sergeant. He was very active in the American Legion Lt. B.R. Kimlau Post 1291 and served as Post Commander from 1985 to1986. This photo was taken at the Kimlau Memorial on 22 Chatham Square, New York, N.Y. 10038, at the conclusion of the annual Memorial Day parade. In the background to the left, you can see a tall brick building which is Confucius Plaza. He was one of the original founders and board of directors and the first office manager of that affordable housing complex.
