Summary
Episode 2 of the American Railroad podcast brings us to Hell’s Kitchen, a New York City neighborhood that historian Miriam Nyhan describes as transformed by immigration and expansion of the state’s railroad boom. Despite tensions between Black and Irish railroad workers, living and laboring side-by-side created a distinctly American sound. We hear from Kestrel Wolgemuth from New York’s Irish Arts Center (IAC), as well as from artist and catalytic agent Lenwood “Leni” Sloan and Silkroad Ensemble member Maeve Gilchrist, as they use music to capture the energy and urgency of the time during their workshop at the IAC.
