Today, Southeast Queens Center for History & Culture celebrates one of the greatest musical minds to ever grace the stage — a visionary whose sound transcended generations and whose spirit continues to inspire artists around the world.

From the heart of our community, we honor John Coltrane’s legacy — his discipline, his devotion, and his deep belief in the transformative power of music. His notes remind us that creativity and faith can move mountains, and that jazz is not just sound — it’s soul.

Come visit our to learn more about Coltrane and other jazz legends. New York City Department of Cultural Affairs stop on by!

Well, all good things eventually come to an end. Nevertheless, we are so grateful for the Corona Chronicles exhibit at the Louis Armstrong House Museum. What a great run this yr! While this is a little out of our jurisdiction, the Southeast Queens Center for History & Culture was so supportive of this collection and what it represents to Queens history in general. The connection that has with the neighborhood is so special and we are grateful for all of the oral histories and those to come.

History and the environment are deeply connected. Many of the places that tell our stories—historic districts, landmarks, and cultural sites—are increasingly threatened by environmental risks such as flooding, erosion, extreme weather, and toxic waste. Preserving history is not just about protecting old buildings; it is also about protecting the environmental conditions that allow those places to endure. This is why the Southeast Queens Center for History & Culture is proud to support Tyrel Hunt and his latest film ! Please go watch it and then get involved! First step might be to support the Addisleigh Park Civic Organization in this battle! Remember, there is no without ! Thanks in advance to these esteemed community groups for helping to get the word out!

Observing the of the from abroad is a surreal experience, particularly when confronted with cultural sites and landmarks in EU and Asian countries that predate our nation tenfold. This phenomenon underscores the significance of respecting all facets of society, where cultural, community, and creative figures are esteemed equally to educational and financial resources. In contrast, the US tends to disregard its seemingly "lesser-valued" icons. If we are to survive even another 250 years, it is imperative to recognize the entirety of our heritage. The Southeast Queens Center for History & Culture is doing all it can to help make that a reality!

Committed to uncovering and highlighting the historical and cultural richness of Southeast Queens.
