12:39 pm
schools for to section ah, i learned that there were 22 cadavers that were in cold storage at albert einstein. medical school. you know, basically the, these cadavers are just let to the medical schools. they are supposed to then be returned to the city for what the city considers proper burial. which is a hard island trench. ah, i tried very hard to learn the names of these cadavers because i wanted to reclaim their stories. one of the last of the 20 to that day was pers hanson,
12:40 pm
even though his body had been in cold storage for 3 years. it had been on lists, sent back and forth between the medical school and the medical examiner's office. the medical examiners office had not done the 1st thing in terms of trying to find someone who knew bruce hanson and would care. and it was easy for fear job is to be the last and most important source of information about this person in they had his name, they had his name when he 1st arrived to the more they had his name. when they put him on a list to offer as a cadaver for to section of medical school,
12:41 pm
when i had the name and i did the 1st basic search, it came up a medium, his ex wife in new jersey, one phone call. and i had her one phone call and i was she was carrying the phone to her daughter. nobody called us. i never changed my last name. it's still hanson. i live in the same state as new jersey. nina had no problem calling me up to find out. mm hm. it should. it ended up in there. they shouldn't allow that in for 3 years. being in albert einstein hospital just you know, going through their medical procedures for 3 years. putting him in a cold box poem out, gotten them up, put, and it's awful, it's,
12:42 pm
it's awful. i'm angry at how it happens. i'm angry with the medical examiner, the hospital, the people you know, that was still won't give me information on hand. you know, it's my father, i should have a right to know how he died. i'm never going to find out with the medical examiners office calling to find out what you know, the hospital not giving, giving you a hard time by getting the records. everybody's hiding something so the hospitals work in them with the medical examiner, which is working with hearts island. you know, they obviously don't want people to know most the mistakes that they made or things that they just didn't care about on thing about all those bums on the street
12:43 pm
meeting. they contacted every single person's family. they throw them probably in the island. ah. he very so thing they can't ride on police report is in all caps in december 2020 a group of anti fascists allowed a film crew access for 3 months. so like if people organization, if an idea that it must be a pose, that channel out the gate while they may kill their faces. but they can say what they believe in. we believe in helping our community. we believe that fascism is one of the major threats to the united states has gotten proven. this is a chance to see who and teeth are really are. in order for me to extract my 1st amendment right and say that my life matter,
12:44 pm
i have to be on to the teachers that have hallmark is we can't charge the police. we can't trust the government. we can't trust anyone except ourselves to protect ourselves in one that makes no certainly no borders under the keys. and you as a merge, we don't have with the we don't have a vaccine. the whole world needs to take action and be ready to kill people or judgment. come in crisis with we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great, the response has been massive, so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together with
12:45 pm
ah, no, your city assures for vacation new york city is just to come and have fun in your city is not a place actually be living in sloughing in hi katrina. so i wanted to bring in today and talk a little bit about where we are with the case in the position in arguments the cities making in the fight that i'm having with the city continues. and i told them that you and i have talked about before, like if you tell us where the baby is,
12:46 pm
they'll drop the lawsuit today. that's what this is all about to. we're trying to find out, they don't believe us. we think it's about money. it's time, it's about a search for the truth. one of the issues with the city here, katrina is. if we establish here that they don't know, there are other cases like yours that are out there are pending and they don't want to make bad law. they don't want to make their precedent so the further they could push us back and slowest down both the latter, the distinction bad things will happen to the city. so they're part of their delay is to not, but this case come to trial because there are other cases that are going to fall shortly behind. pi. i feel that they really don't know much because all they thinking is about the money. and honestly like has said a lot of this for money. i want my son back there. say, lou,
12:47 pm
what we know right now from, from the records or we have, is it a to our taxi was performed the body at some point was at the more we do have some in the, on one of the records that the body was released for transport at this point, we don't know if was transport to some type of medical facility for research. we don't know where that baby was released to. we know where the baby was supposed to be released to and that's the hard island. mm hm. any case that i'm involved with the city of new york is always gonna take me years. mm. getting records out of the city of york requires motion after motion after motion for judge to compel them to respond. the more concerned the security issues and welfare issues and housing issues and all the things that make the city and unique in crazy place. so most likely i want no matter how much recycling and that will happen is i can never guarantee that. i'm going to give you an answer that question. and i know that's the most important thing to you,
12:48 pm
and that's been the focus of my case has always been about getting you those answers. i guess we're gonna keep fight in, then i need answers. why, why do my thoughts office come to holly to join the union? they came for one cry to the free. equal me terry it. oh and i feel very emotional about it because not only of the soldiers, inter it here, but so is my daughter. i named her i aisha
12:49 pm
weak honda. i was selves with many questions about our daughter. so we hoped to bring closure to our family. and to bri, ana, love and respect to a soul that we haven't had the opportunity to honor properly for almost 50 years to this day. should i to have touched the earth that she's buried in? it? behooves me. to go over there to lay the 1st wreath at her grades and pay my respects to my daughter,
12:50 pm
who is buried on hot island in pod is feel of the city of new york. ah, then i change and change my plight to bring the honor respect and some type of fitting memorial statue over on hot island for these soldiers of the civil war. ah, to have a city this modern, this cosmopolitan that still buries the unclaimed dad. the way
12:51 pm
jacob reese recorded in the 19th century just doesn't make sense. it's archaic, it's bizarre. and yet it also represents a truth about america, about the western world, perhaps that this tremendous inequality not only still exists but has, has widened. mm. new york still has the rule. it's still a named conjure with it still sounds a musical no to people in some distant horrible world. new york is distinct, new york is always gone its own way. new york
12:52 pm
has its own bitter humor. its own kind of culture, its own kind of literacy. new york is not sentimental because the city, those not hair listening nor care about. mm. that is why you trash new york city forces monster. you have to fight you have to actually rush, hold with the city in order to just get the very basic necessities of life. ah, then so the idea of the city having something on its conscience, this is rather small blot, frankly. i mean, with all honor to the dead, they are dead. mm.
12:53 pm
i think that city is always wanted to forget about what island city is. wanted to forget about the people who are buried there. it's wanted to forget about the fact that there is a potter's field that there is a place where difficult stories are hidden. mm. new york city is celebrated as the place where anyone can achieve their dreams of but those dreams have him in achieved by everyone. ah, it's true of people toiling away, digging out the tunnels for sideways. we're building our skyscrapers. ah,
12:54 pm
it's true of people who have wound up homeless or because a society shunned them as happened during the aids epidemic. mm. those stories might not be flattering to tell. even more might tell us things about our present that we'd rather not face. ah, we owe it to the people who have been very there and are being buried there to bring their stories to light. ah, so a my bill i to the jurisdiction of hard island egg. i believe that we're at a place where we could finally the momentum as growing to make hard island a public place that is not forgotten. ah 20000000 new yorkers who built this shit made this city the city that it is today. they should
