Repost from The New Yorker

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, photographers for the New York Post were sent scuttling around the city on the hunt to capture newsworthy moments—politics, sports, sometimes art, and, because it was the Post, mostly crime and celebrity. Martha Cooper (Martha Cooper) was one of those photographers. But some of Cooper’s most impactful work emerged from the shots she took in between those assignments, often of abandoned lots, trash and rubble, and scenes of children playing and passing the time outside. These photos recall classic Tenement-era images of city dwellers making the most of the streets around them. At the link in our bio, see more of Cooper’s work.

School’s out in New York City! ☀️ 🛝

Today, public playgrounds may feel like a given. But these spaces were hard-won, shaped by social movements, public health debates, and generations of New Yorkers fighting for children’s right to play.

As kids head to parks and playgrounds across the city, explore the surprising history of children’s play, and how it helped shape NYC.

📣 Hey, teachers! This post is adapted from an NYPL curriculum resource that invites students to consider their rights to the city and its public spaces. Tap the link in bio to explore more.
