Xiomaro's The Other Side Photography Exhibit
The Other Side looks at the William Floyd Estate in Mastic Beach, a National Park unit of Fire Island National Seashore. Long Island plantation and slave owner General William Floyd set his signature to the Declaration of Independence in July 1776. At the heart of the collection are photographs of undated wooden crosses bearing generic slave names, set apart on the other side of a fence from the elaborate individualized stones of the Floyd family cemetery. The photographs serve as spiritual memorials to the laborers – both enslaved persons and paid house servants of color – who worked on the estate.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
