Empire State of Mind: Russell Shorto on the Dutch Roots of New York
New York City was once just a small Dutch outpost called New Amsterdam. How did a modest trading colony become the global icon it is today?
Join us for a deep dive with acclaimed historian Russell Shorto, who has spent decades uncovering the Dutch origins of America’s financial and cultural capital.
From Manhattan’s first skyscrapers to Wall Street’s earliest deals, we’ll connect the dots between the city’s 17th-century Dutch DNA and its modern identity. Is today’s New York still carrying the legacy of its founding ideals, or has it evolved into something entirely different?
