This is the NYC I grew up in. Theres a lot of beauty in these photos, and also a lot of BS about how we constructed (and still construct) our biases around race in this city. Yes, so the subway cars didnt used to be graffiti resistant, and there was a time that the avenues in Alphabet City were known as Assault, Battery, Crime, and Death. Ill be the first to tell you NYC was anything but the Disneyland safest big city in America it is today then, but the subway has always been for all of us, whether we liked it or not.
