New Schools: Education and Radical Free Thought in Greenwich Village

We'll Start in front of the New School, which has been pioneering new forms of learning and thinking for nearly a century, make our way to the New York Studio School, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney's epicenter of American Art, sit in the courtyard at NYU Law School, find out how the Little Red School House invented the field trip, see what Judson Church has to do with modern dance, find out how actors saved the city's original library and turned it into a theater, and figure out why Abraham Lincoln, Emma Goldman and W. E. B Du Bois all ended up at Cooper Union!
