Posted by Michael549 on Mon Aug 21 01:51:03 2017, in response to Re: Historic Subway Tiles With Nothing To Do With Racism Or Even Confederacy to be Removed, posted by Olog-hai on Sun Aug 20 23:17:28 2017. In order to keep this straight, I refer to Dyre Dan's message:"As for the tile design at the 40th St. IRT fare-control area, the MTA denies it was meant to look like the Confederate flag, but others say it was, in honor of the Southern heritage of New York Times owner Sulzberger. (How's that for irony, a Confederate flag for the New York Times?) Proving it one way or the other at this date would be difficult." In sum, Dyre Dan is associating "Southern Heritage" with New York Times owner Sulzberger. I questioned that because Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr. the current owner was born on September 22, 1951 in Mount Kisco, New York. His dad, Arthur Ochs "Punch" Sulzberger Sr. (February 5, 1926 – September 29, 2012 - was born on February 5, 1926 - New York City, New York. In both cases WELL after the building of the Times Square local/express subway station in 1917. So now let's look at the New York Post article. Mike |
