We were thrilled to be joined Monday by Greenwich House, author Laurie Gwen Shapiro (The Aviator and the Showman: Amelia Earhart, George Putnam and the Marriage that Made an American Icon), and dozens of fans and supporters for the unveiling of our 27th plaque, honoring trailblazing aviator Amelia Earhart at her former home, Greenwich House. Watch the video here and see photos here, and read more about Amelia Earhart’s life in Greenwich Village here.
 

This is our 27th plaque unveiling in Greenwich Village, the East Village, and NoHo. Our plaque program has honored and marked the homes of local figures from Jane Jacobs to James Baldwin; Allen Ginsberg to Charles Mingus; Frank O’Hara to Frank Stella; and Martha Graham to Lorraine Hansberry, as well as historically significant sites such as the former NAACP headquarters, Julius’ Bar, and the Fillmore East.
