york commensurately in new york and boston. we tend to think of boston if we know anything about abolitionism can we tend to think about bostoncome away with garrison new england movement largely or philadelphia with the quaker population been in the forefront of the antislavery movement. but there were a cadre of new yorkers, often wealthy, evangelical or evangelical protestants are quakers who felt very strongly that slavery was an abomination in the brothers, lewis and arthur tappan were wealthy dry goods merchants in lower, helped basically bankrolled the abolitionist movement throughout the north. henry ward beecher and brooklyn became one of the spokesman from the great protestant clergymen for the antislavery movement. this actually shows the cover illustration, which is hard to make out is basically showing bounty hunters before the 1850 slave act, but even in the 18 dirties from a bounty hunters in new york working for southern slave masters were literally kidnap overseas fugitive slaves who would come north to new yor

amy hollyfield, abc7 news. >>> in new york, washington, d.c. and pennsylvania, families of the 9/11 victims are gathering now to remember their loved ones. katie marzullo continues our live team coverage. >> reporter: two things right now. president obama at the pentagon for a 9/11 memorial ceremony. we want to take threw. here's a live look arlington, virginia we just saw the president, first lady, defense secretary panetta arrive at an easel that was set up and have a moment of silence at a wreath hung there the president and leon panetta, also the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff will make remark there is. for now you see the crowd and the flag hanging from the pfpbt gone behind the group. another live look now -- ground zero in new york city. family members reading all 2977 names of the people who killed in the twin towers. they began the hours long process, 30, 40 minutes ago. for the first time no politicians are going to participate following that theme, president obama and mitt romney have pulled their negative ad campaigns for the

in new york. that's basically a neighborhood in the southeastern part of brooklyn, new york. again, two confirmed tornadoes in the new york city area earlier this morning. we're still continuing to see that risk for more severe weather into the nighttime hours tonight across parts of new england, down into the carolinas. i do think the worst of it as far as rotation with some of these storms is over for the new york city area. but we're still seeing some of the heavy rain. we can take a look at times square. you have that and pull that up. where rain is already starting to move into parts of new york city and hopefully everybody has sought shelter because we have a severe thunderstorm warning in effect for new york city because wind gusts in excess of 60 miles per hour are still possible with this line of storms. as they continue push through the new york city area. so again, a lot of heavy rain, aside from tornadoes or even damaging wind gusts, you have that possibility for large hail with some of these thunderstorms, flash flooding, very heavy rain will come down in a very

in new york. sometimes with tragic consequences. so i'm going to start by showing you these images, starting with the civil war. and again, the book starts well before that, but this is where we're starting today. so this is april of 1861, after the confederacy fired on fort sumter in this world war began. this is one of the mass rallies in union square that ensued in new york in april of 1861. and you see this outpouring of patriotism, flag-waving, enthusiasm within a few weeks, 16,000 men from manhattan, which was then new york city and brooklyn have enlisted and were going south to guard washington d.c. it is a moment where many new yorkers hope that this unity will persist to allow them to fight the war, to support the war. what to me is kind of ironic and perhaps a harbinger of things to come in this view as you follow the red dot. this guy seems like it's not that happy. militia men dressed in revolutionary war, peach or credit card seemed to take him out. new york was the city that fight it

new york new york city had a nude weather vane. at the highest point in midtown see at the top of madison square. you can see it clearly from the ground and, you know, jay leno called the statute of liberty the hood ornament. nude diane was the hood ornament want breasts outstretched arms told new yorkers the direction of the winds. near madison square garden was the restaurant and can casino. there was a forgotten hotel there. and this housed one of the city great landmarks. it's a tame picture of it. you got a sense of an art gallery type bar. here's a better reason why thousands upon thousand of tourists came. william f a former manager called the painting unquestionably the biggest single advertisement any hotel in the country probably in the world ever had. they could charge triple for drinks because of the painting. the massive eight foot tall canvas seemed to invite viewers in to the lush landscape, and perhaps never has a backside been viewed so adore belie by so many men with cocktails in hands than this backside. new york

and you described new york today to -- you say sound the alarm, there is a new drug epidemic in town and most of the cy wants in on it. in certain circles of new york, it is regular table conversation. we have entered the golden age of self-medication. drugs have become like hair products or cosmetics. this is brain styling, not mind altering, and you have a serious point to make there, but what is the extent of what you see going on in new york? >> well, i mean, i think new york is the same town that brought you woody allen and brought you everybody having a psychiatrist. there not a great deal of stigma to being neurotic in new york. it is accepted to the point of maybe being desirable in certain circles. i think now that these medications are more common, new york is the place where people are going to be comfortable with it and going to be open about it. >> you make a point of saying here that this is brain styling, not mind altering. you make a clear distinction between the two, do you not? >> yeah. i think people when they have actual problems like anxiety, depression or insomn

according to the cdc and the new york city health department and these numbersering, 46% of new york city teens have had sexual intercourse. p,000 girls get pregnant by the age of 17 wlsh nine out of ten of those pregnancies are unplanned, this is the important part that city officials want you to know. seven out of ten of those teen mothers actually drop out of school as a result. the new york city health department released a statement saying, in part, we are committed to trying new approaches like this pilot program in place since january of 2011 to improve a situation that can have negative consequences that, can last a lifetime, and suzanne, we just got a statement from the mayor of new york city michael bloomberg. he is saying, in part, the good news is we brought teen pregnancy down by 25% in the last ten years. the bad news is there is still an awful lot of girls that get pregnant at an early age, when history shows it's difficult to raise a child and give the child the care it needs when the parent is young and hasn't had the experience of adulthood. the parents who don't tu

york authorities and even though these ads were supposed to kind of drive ride in new york subways for the next month we have to say that i can actually show you even today already on tuesday they were covered with stickers that have said hate speech and racist and this happened in seven of the ten subway stations where the ads were put up so really new yorkers are putting up a fight against these ads they haven't even had a chance to be really seen by those in the subways so you know the people who put the the odds the anti muslim ads up spent about six thousand dollars i'm sure those stickers that cover the message costs a lot less for those not happy with what they were seeing i don't think the ones in seven sysco been getting their own face live so it's interesting to see how people are reacting to those thanks so much for coming on and talking about the u.n. general assembly thanks having. there forty two days left until the election and every day i'm seeing more scripted stump speeches and campaign stops not to mention the incessant dueling advertisements on t.v. which probably c
