Showcasing a diverse array of photographs, paintings, and drawings culled from dozens of archives and individual collections worldwide, this multifaceted history goes downtown in New York City. Among the stops along the way are Washington Street, once home to the biggest Arab-American community in the country; the neighborhoods that vanished to make way for the World Trade Center; the 1920 Wall Street bombing, which claimed 38 lives and triggered a wave of anti-immigrant sentiment; and the extravagant train station, the Oculus, the most expensive architectural project of recent years.
