New York.– To highlight the experiences and
contributions of one of the city’s most vibrant ethnic populations, The
City College of New York (CCNY) presents "Dominicans in New York," an
exhibit that runs through January 31, 2009.
The exhibit, which
opened on October 20, is on view in the CUNY Dominican Studies
Institute (DSI) Archives and Library, located in Room 2/202 in CCNY’s
North Academic Center building, 138th Street and Convent Avenue,
Manhattan. Funded by a grant from the New York Council for the
Humanities, it is free and open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.,
weekdays.
Using materials from the Dominican Archives and
Library, including documents, photographs and memorabilia, the exhibit
creates a visual history of Dominicans as they developed communities
that would become an integral part of New York’s diverse landscape. The
images display glimpses of Dominican history, culture, traditions and
population changes.

One part of the exhibit should be dedicated to showing how the Dominicans took control of drug distribution in the city.

ambioriv apparently you are not familiar with this site.
it's fill with haters of the worst kind, the ones that will look at every article and put a negative spin on it
most are foreigners others are natives, some want to be Dominicans but since they can't be they turn around and drink hate juice like for example: anthonyc needs an explanation on why the City College of New York decided to honor Dominican heritage and its contributions to the city.
never mind this is El mes de la herencia Hispana and every latino group is been honor at ccny
if you login more often you'll see there are the same group of haters time after time posting garbage about D.R even when good news comes around
but my fellow Dominican don't worry 'cause if there are 100 haters there will be 100,000,000,000
million that love D.R

CASE STUDY: PEOPLE THAT HATE & ENVY MY COMMUNITY BUT CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT
By OST
Point and Case: To unmask and expose the many individuals whom i consider sole Purpose is to attack and slander our heritage and culture
Exhibit # 1
anthonyC first post
"contributions of one of the city’s most vibrant ethnic populations "
OK I'll bite...What contributions?
there the individual implies there are no contributions made by the Dominican community in NYC
therefore demonstrating his hate and dislike for our Dominican heritage
Exhibit # 2
In his 2nd and 3rd post the subject Manifest disgust and expresses that to him is an insult been called PuertoRican and also rips the Mexican community simply because he doesn’t have anything in common with them and Mexicans don’t speak Spanish clear enough for him to understand, lastly the subject acknowledges that in fact he can mention some Dominican contributions to NYC but feel the need to challenge other Dominicans in order to (cont-->)
From: Dominican Republic, San Carlos, barrio de matatanes, aqui no invente
debate the merits of such contributions.
In conclusion my guest is this individual is not Dominican nor Hispanic this individual reflect more the profile of a very angry and frustrated Haitian middle age man consumed with hatred towards my heritage, culture and people in general . in my opinion The Dominican Republic is not perfect; like many other is a flawed democracy with many issues and problems some of them self inflicted and ridiculous but we also have many attributes and honors that are recognized worldwide by many nations and individuals everywhere.
Everyone is entitle to their own opinion and should be allow to express them in any form they see fit, nevertheless I consider a major hypocrisy to use this medium to attack and diminish our society.
for those who still need to see contributions made by Dominicans In NYC check out what Michael Bloomberg has to say about our Community in The great City Of New York.

Juramento de los Trinitarios
en el nombre de la santísima, augustísima e indivisible Trinidad de Dios Omnipotente, en manos de nuestro presidente Juan Pablo Duarte, cooperar con mi persona, vida y bienes a la Separación definitiva del gobierno haitiano, y a implantar una República libre, soberana e independiente de toda dominación extranjera, que se denominará República Dominicana, la cual tendrá su pabellón tricolor, en cuartos encarnados y azules, atravesados con una cruz blanca. Mientras tanto, seremos reconocidos los Trinitarios con las palabras sacramentales: "Dios", "Patria" y "Libertad". Así lo prometo ante Dios y el mundo: si lo hago, Dios me proteja, y de no, me lo tome en cuenta, y mis consocios me castiguen el perjurio y la traición, si los vendo.

Old School.
I am not Dominican or "Hispanic".
But I am Latin. I have blood from both the Caribbean and Europe.
Plus I am very good at challenging people to produce. I am even better at challenging people and unmasking them as ignorant, knee-jerk, ethno-centric, illogical, childish, jealous, wannabee intelectuals.

All this after he bashed Mexicans and Puerto Ricans for no apparent reason.
lastly the only thing you are very good at is your vain attempts to undermine my culture
and time after time coming across as a HATER.
Your personal attacks toward me just prove my point and if you have a drop of self respect you will vanish from this site or abandon your anti dominican agenda.

I know of many.
I am just curious how many of these so called Dominicanasos here can name some.
From: United States
The last exhibit at City College about Dominican women was actually very eye-opening. The Dominican woman was shown to come in so many types, so many fields, so many talents. I'll be sure to check this one out as well, hope others of you do.
#1 accomplishment of Dominicans in NYC to me; busting ass year after year to help keep their homeland afloat.

To tony c and trinitario..this is the problem within our own countries..we fire back at each other instead of working together..and standing up for each other. Tony C there are many dominicans that have made an impact in this city...some are famous some not so much. Just to name a few Milly Quezada, Johnny Pacheco, Jose Alberto El Canario, Felix Sanchez...I dont know where you're from but that doesn't matter because it just seems you're ignorant and uneducated...Trini no le hagas caso que seguro ni habla español!!
From: United States
I agree with Adriana.. I think that instead of attacking and insulting each other, we should respect each other and build a more unified and accepting community. In addition, there are many other Dominicans who have contributed much to the American society, not only in New York, but across the country. For instance, Angie Cruz, Jose Peralta, Victor Capellan and Francisco Batista amongst many others. Despite the fact that we are one of the most recent immigration groups in the US, we are most definitely a rising and vibrant force.
As any other nation, we have our negatives and positives, thus no nation is perfect. Again, I urge everyone to stop stereotyping, and insulting people based on their national ethnic or racial background. We are all better than that!
