BROOKLYN New York City Best Tour 2019 Landmarks Drone Video
Brooklyn is home to more than 2.5 million residents, making it America’s most densely-populated county (Kings County). If it alone were a city, it would be the third largest in the US, behind LA And Chicago. It is also the country’s most diverse county by race, ethnicity and religion, which may explain its city motto ‘unity makes strength’.
Numerous Native American peoples have roots in this northeastern land; but no historical record allows us to definitely state a claim. The Dutch first settled here in 1645 and they continued to expand after the Anglo-Dutch war of 1664 ended with the English claiming the colonies as their own.
In Brooklyn, the first and largest battle of the American Revolutionary War was fought on August 27, 1776. In the Battle of Brooklyn, George Washington led the Continental Army across modern day Green-Wood Cemetery and Prospect Park. A tactical withdrawal was made through Brooklyn Heights, ceding the city to the English.
Today, Brooklyn is home to some of the most iconic sites in the United States. In this video, you see: the Brooklyn Bridge, Prospect Park, the Prospect Park Zoo, Brooklyn Public Library, Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanical Garden, Barclays Center, and Brooklyn Heights Promenade.
Coney Island is another incredible place in Brooklyn. To see an awesome video of that world-famous location, click here:

Strange New York - Jones Cemetery, West Fulton, New York
During our travels we come across many cemeteries and we always take some time to investigate them. We decided to film these explorations and add them to the Strange New York playlist.
Jones Cemetery is located on the mountain just outside West Fulton, New York. The trail-head is on Rossman Hill Road at the Looking Glass Parking area. The loop trail that surrounds the pond is just down toward the pond from the parking area. Once on the trail follow it until you see the sign for Jones Cemetery, its located is a tall pine stand. The cemetery is a short walk up the trail. Enjoy.

New York - Brooklyn (Part.1)
Brooklyn is the most populous of New York City's five boroughs, with approximately 2.5 million residents, and the second-largest in area. Since 1896, Brooklyn has had the same boundaries as Kings County, which is now the most populous county in New York State and the second-most densely populated county in the United States, after New York County (Manhattan). It is also the westernmost county on Long Island.
Brooklyn was an independent city until it was annexed by New York City in 1898. It continues to maintain a distinct culture. Many Brooklyn neighborhoods are ethnic enclaves where particular ethnic groups and cultures predominate. Brooklyn's official motto is Eendraght Maeckt Maght. Written in the (early modern spelling of the) Dutch language, it is inspired by the motto of the United Dutch Provinces and translated Unity makes strength. The motto is displayed on the borough seal and flag, which also feature a young robed woman bearing fasces, a traditional emblem of republicanism. Brooklyn's official colors are blue and gold.
---------------------------------------------------------
Brooklyn est l'un des cinq arrondissements (en anglais borough) de la ville de New York aux États-Unis (avec Manhattan, Queens, le Bronx et Staten Island). Il coïncide avec le comté de Kings (Kings County), découpage administratif de l'État de New York, mais comme les quatre autres comtés de la ville, il ne fonctionne pas comme les autres comtés de l'État. Avec une population de plus de 2 508 820 habitants en 20061, c'est celui qui est le plus peuplé ; il constituerait à lui seul la quatrième ville des États-Unis.
L'arrondissement de Brooklyn occupe l'extrémité ouest de Long Island et est voisin du district du Queens. Sa côte nord est le pont de Williamsburg et le pont de Manhattan. La côte médiane du borough touche la Upper New York Bay. Le Buttermilk Channel sépare le borough de Governors Island. Au sud-ouest se trouvent la Gowanus Bay et le Gowanus Canal. À son extrémité ouest, Brooklyn est séparée de Staten Island par the Narrows, où se rejoignent Upper et Lower New York Bay. Le pont Verrazano-Narrows, inauguré en 1964, permet de lier les deux boroughs. Il a été de 1964 à 1981 le plus long pont suspendu du monde. Au sud-est se trouvent Coney Island, Brighton Beach, Manhattan Beach et la Jamaica Bay.
La superficie de Brooklyn est de 251 km2, dont 183 km2 de terres émergées. Son point le plus élevé se situe aux alentours de Prospect Park et de Green-Wood Cemetery, à environ 61 mètres au-dessus du niveau de la mer. Le quartier de Brooklyn Heights, dans le centre-ville, est construit sur une hauteur.

60 Years Of Illegal Segregation Ends In Mississippi School District
On Friday a federal court ordered the Cleveland, Mississippi school district to consolidate its schools entirely. The Court ruled that after six decades of resistance to the US supreme court ruling that ordered schools to integrate, only dismantling and reforming the schools could bring the town’s two sides together.
The US district court for the northern district of Mississippi wrote: “The delay in desegregation has deprived generations of students of the constitutionally guaranteed right of an integrated education. Although no court order can right these wrongs, it is the duty of the District to ensure that not one more student suffers under this burden.”
The population of 12,000 is split east and west by the old Illinois railroad tracks. Residents on the east side are black, and attend East Side high school. The west is white. Students attend Cleveland high.
The school district had come up with two plans of its own to mix the students. US judge Debra Brown, however, rejected them as unconstitutional.

Mt. Hope Cemetery in Rochester, NY (1989)
Here is a short video I made nearly 20 years ago while on a trip to Rochester, NY. Mount Hope Cemetery, founded in 1838, is the United States' first municipal Victorian cemetery. Situated on 196 acres of land adjacent to the University of Rochester on Mount Hope Avenue, the cemetery is the permanent resting place of over 350,000 people, and adds up to approx 600 burials per yr. Some of the famous buried there are Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony and the children of Buffalo Bill.
I had never visited Mt. Hope when I lived in Rochester during the late 1960s, so I wanted to make it a stop 20 years later. Probably little had changed. For current area residents, you can look for changes twenty years later.
On a technical note, this video was shot with a Panasonic AG camcorder on S-VHS tape. The quality of the original analog recording rivals the digital tapes of today. It was raining when I shot this video, so I narrated & taped it from my car.
Recorded: August 1989
The Battle of New York... in New Jersey
