For my artifact, I am choosing a sign on the Staten Island Ferry that shows the different ways to travel to and within New York City. The sign shows trains, buses, cars, and vans as a means to move through the city. I think this is emblematic of the city and all those that emigrate to its resources. Whether travelers are coming to work, shop, explore, or learn, the Manhattan seems to loom over Staten Island. The thing is, that the Island is just as rich in culture as Manhattan itself. The ferry contained people from all walks of life. The city seems to owe some of its cultural majesty its close relatives.
