whichever way you look at these companies might make money one way or another so it's not it's not a use governments like the us saying now i'm saying right right we're going x. fine it's. no miracle the next year and then 510 years down the line necessarily i'm going to money and so i think these problems will be with us all one minute we are the other we have to get closer to these targets but it's going to need government support rather than just search short term gesturing which which is why i'm seeing a lot. more from us all the time with our team dot com of course for now kevin now in signing off of good monday. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person or those with. dares

thinks. we dare to ask.

i 1st heard about hart island when i was working on a story about a formerly homeless man he had lived in the tunnels underneath penn station and i think. there was this a photographer who photographed his little the little house he had made himself there and because of her work he had been rescued he'd been given a home and that he'd been found dead in that home and he was going to go to heart island. and it was it was such a sadness at the idea that this man who had finally achieved a home of his own was going to be dispossessed it was going to be one of the multitude in these anonymous graves.

i'm a new yorker and i believe that new york is more than you know the old idea of the city on the hill new york is really what america is about. and there is a tragedy inherent in a big metropolis and. there are all these stories of the chance is gone by the mistakes. bad childhood bad choices or just bad luck. that's something that any great metropolis contends was. but there's something more here. that you could have a loving family

a career money set aside. and you could still end up in a mass grave on an island off limits to the public. buried by inmates paid $0.50 an hour.

when rises in from the south carrying the clowning of the bell boy from your bar city island tolling its fist full warning. all around is desolate and sound. no kind hand to decorate these graves with trophies of love them or number ones. and even a headstone to show us interred what was once a human being. my

baby was already sick so our already knew. there was a 5050 chance of him living or diane. gave birth to him i didn't have the financial to be able to bury him and stuff so the hospital gave me. a week for me to you know collect the money. i wanted to the welfare day after day and day after day week that i was given. and they said no. and at that point i didn't know my real mother i didn't know my real family. so it was like i really don't have nobody. 1000 loan out here living actually literally alone.

i care to be ungrateful because mean living. on the public assistance new york city has been. helping my children a lot. but when it comes to my son day fell to me completely because i put all my trust. i put my child's body in their hands to bury him. you know it's not the way i want it but i figure at least he's going to be buried. he'll be 'd a piece but he says he was a. one

heart island is open to new york is on the cusp of yet another enormous rush of growth the city's population basically doubled every 20 years. in new york city is the commercial capital of america it's the center was publishing industry it's the center of fashion and of course next to the glitz next to the glamour next to the mansions being built by 80 steward of the vanderbilt's you have the reality of the 5 points the slums the very very difficult lives lives by most new yorkers that is to say the working class and the cool. new yorkers force to create full series of institutions to deal with the realities of tens of thousands of immigrants coming into the city continually. there was

a sense i think that these people needed to be separated out that it was people were not comfortable seeing the insane seeing the paupers seeing elderly alcoholics on the streets of new york. and many of these institutions prisons lunatic asylums hospitals all were erected created outside manhattan on these islands in the east river. there was welfare island there were the corn tina islands and of course ellis island and these were all various processing stations hard island was the terminal island. and 890 s. early 1970 spraying the police department have to fish out scores and scores of bodies that floated to the. surface in the harbor or in the rivers what do you do with these bodies most of those totally anonymous these folks want a hard island. this is

a place that new york has to have to service the reality of death. i think new yorkers understand that there are always going to be inequalities in the city huge inequalities and they are in very sharp focus. but. in death. we're equal. we all die alone. in today's world you have so many families who are a strange to or just last week each other by distance by misfortune. and yet to know that someone you once loved or that you hoped

loved to you is buried in a mass grave on hard island that resonates. trevor. we got married in 1982 and got married at my sister's house because i never wanted a big wedding i was never the one to be in front of you know where dress and have all these people that you know sometimes you don't even know half of them why would you want them there to want him but there were a lot of great times was with bruce a lot. and when he started spiraling down that was in 84 we moved right next to a bar called lady else we used to go to lady elliston on friday nights got a babysitter for kimberly and he started hanging out with

a lot of different people and started drinking heavily. and the bar was right next door which is not the greatest thing didn't think anything of it when we moved to the house. but it happened and. i remember vodka bottles being under the bed head in you know so and then they would argue constantly so. i just remember my childhood not a wonderful. you know i think that he hurt his back at work. and he got addicted to pain medication and then cocaine and then alcohol and he just spiraled downhill. it always enter my conscience i always wonder if he is he ok what is he doing is he living on the streets you know and i would go to manhattan when i was younger i

would always wonder if that was him. you know i'd always want to give money to those people so i felt like that was my dad. they guy hopes which people don't hope that he was either in the hospital or in jail where i would get that one moment that he was sober and i never got it and the fact that he was in a hospital and nobody contacted any family members and then his body for 3 years is crazy. seems wrong but i. just don't call. me. yet to shape out just to come out ahead and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground. with. a new gold rush is

underway and gone or thousands of ill equipped workers are flocking to the gold fields hoping to strike it rich. as your. children are torn between gold. my family was very poor i thought i was doing my best to get back to school which side will have the strongest appeal.

so in the world today everyone knows america as the land of freedom and opportunity. because you see me in front of you know. but prior to seeing me here. you didn't know of me except for one thing. he is less than a man. he is not america. he is the slave that built america. this is the to some other every man and woman of color. now we at the

point when we stumble upon a part of history. that do encounter us as a people of color of honor of respect. and. heart iraq has been at the time of 8060 was being conversed into champ aster. there was must. it is over 200 pounds so just code. it was not america at that time it was better see in the south and you you open the know and what brought us

together was this is of what will. was the policemen we would not be free today if it wasn't for those united states called the troops we would not be as proud as we ought to day. united states code troops would definitely go and i doubt. this do astar little indications that a so a few bodies that still remain. in the us knocking at the door who is there to open a correctional department. of never so been humiliated to have a correctional officer. direct me in prayer. in

the burials begad in 869 the department of charities and correction was one city agency. and what happened more recently was the department of welfare pulled out of hard allied and left a department of correction in charge of these fair else. so it used to be that there was a dad house staff at the end of $26.00 straight and a doc and in the dad have the bodies which. were unclaimed were put in these boxes and then put onto a boat there were 2 steamships one was called hope and the other was called the delegate. the boat backs up to the dead house and takes the coffins with their ghastly freight. here shoved

rudely down a slide like the various merchandise and as they strike the deck we hear the thud of the body and its rude receptacle. business is good today this xan of the sticks is. as we count the coffins heaped up her mysteriously we think so too. we steam away and soon touch it blackwell's island. where the bodies of those who died of smallpox and other contagious diseases are taken on board. charity hospital is also visited and contributes its quota. the coffins are bundled out to men who cart them away into a field handling them as rudely as baggage masters the trucks at the depot trenches

are about 15 feet deep can sink feet wide. the coffins are piled up like wooden cords or fuel in a coal pit 13. as soon as the coffin is placed at the bottom of the trench a barrel of dirt is thrown over and another coffin placed above. children's coffins are chuck dead at the feet of the others and help to form a solid mass. one of earth is then thrown upon the upper one until the work is completed. does all nationalities rest close together the murder. he's a close companion of the thief in the suicide he's just been used to parker. there's no aristocracy.

the 1st heard of hard al and probably a physician who was at harlem hospital and she was talking about incense that were born addicted to crack and that they were buried in shoe boxes a 1000 other time on her own allies. and at that time heard island was open to journalists and to academics and so i decided that. i was just going to get there. and it just so happened that that day. was the very 1st day that these inmates had ever been on heart. and these are a young man convicted at mr me interests like train style john staying pristine

the so you know they're not felons or anything like that they're young men that couldn't afford a good lawyer. oh i used to live in red hook that was one of the bad neighborhoods but about to return only brooklyn. new york city was crazy in 89 is crockery and stuff like that in him we used to so we'd n n n drugs just before i got in are one of getting caught with possession and i went i'm going to rikers island for a little bit of. it knows daisy was it was a zoo you can get anything you need a knife or a anything needs one great one term the guy had a gun in there it was like. gladiator school every day and so when i got short short means that you're going home you don't have

a lot of time left in your stack and they gave me a job in hard trial and. next thing you know they put some shackles on you and you end it a big you know little boss and then they take you on a boat i'm a little skid could i'm in handcuffs i'm on the book to get the boats going to go down i think the worst or whatever and they take you to harsh on him and. i still didn't know that hans i was promised feel i heard a polish through in movies and stuff like that but i didn't i didn't even know what what it meant. and there's only 2 officers no friends no nothing and there was a smell and i don't know what the smell was so the next morning is raining and they tell you we're going to go with it or go to work. we want to do this big whole way but it was graves and it was mass graves we wooden

boxes and we're going to move them to put more boxes in there. and the people down there john doe's or people that nobody wants to pay for people when they get lost in the system they were like 5 deep it was a big hole. it was a little coffin to integrate and then the guys would all talk about them and they they would just say crack babies even though who knows what they were there for but don't know if the mentality they had does what those were undesirables or whatever they encounter or whatever. when our mayor to have a say he was elected because of his campaign and our city being a tale of 2 cities now and has now and those who have not are usually the ones who

end up being buried are hard at. the difficulty in government especially when you're a mayor and you're managing a very large city the priorities of the public take shape and become the most important issues you address. and that many people bring her dial into it like that officials attention. is out of sight and out of mind to so many new yorkers people just don't care that much unless they have a personal connection. it shouldn't be so removed from the rest of the city. we should know what happens after people we should be able to see.

that space. the fact that we're using inmates to maintain this active burial site where 1000000 souls are buried where so much of new york city history is buried is dickensian. and it is a document of the inequality that has existed in this city for centuries. i don't think the states is unique in this respect if you're poor in this world or you're not powerful you get forgotten pretty quickly. and harland is exactly where our society and our country puts people who are poor and forgot. and you have of you know a situation you couldn't make up in which you have the porn forgotten people who are alive and are in jail who are burying the poor and forgotten people who are dead.

is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. tyson nation community. are you going the right way or are you being that some. guy doing. what is true what's his face. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. for a mate in the shallows. kind

of financial flying job that it was all about money laundering 1st to visit this confession to 3 different. oh good that's a good start well we have our 3 banks all set up for something in europe something in america something overseas in the cayman islands and it will hold these banks are complicit in the kleptocracy who decide to give mccall and say ok i'm ready to do some serious money laundering ok let's see how we did while we've got a nice luxury watch for max and for stacy oh beautiful jewelry and how about. luxury automobile again for max you know what money laundering is highly illegal for a bunch of guys record. childes seems wrong. but old rules just don't hold. any old belief yet to shake out just because get educated and engagement equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. dramatic. and. i don't see how that strategy will be successful. usage.
