We would like to submit the real story behind our state’s nickname “Hoosier”. There are a number of theories from when the early settlers asked “who’s there” to bar fights on the frontier when they would look to see “who’s ear” had been mauled. The real story is one of courage, honor and the fame of one – Harry Hoosier. A black preacher from the Great Awakening Era who fought slavery and injustice. Booker T.

One of the most visible landmarks in Queens, New York, is the towering Unisphere, the thematic centerpiece and grand remnant of the 1964–65 New York World’s Fair. As the public nostalgically celebrates the icon’s fiftieth birthday, it can be difficult to recall the widespread ridicule that shrouded the project prior to its realization. It is also challenging to uncover the exact origins of a structure that was chronicled primarily by the corporate sponsor and the fair organizers for promotional purposes. The role of Peter Muller-Munk Associates was almost lost to history because Muller-Munk shrewdly distanced his firm from the controversy surrounding the Unisphere’s design and, as result, from recognition of their work on it.
