Abstract
This chapter uses biographical sketches to introduce the twenty-five narrators whose oral histories will be shared in the book. Their interviews are part of a larger public collection archived at the Tamiment Library at New York University. Interviewed while in their 20s to their 70s, including born and bred Lower East Siders and immigrants from all over the world, a poet and a priest, activists and artists, former drug addicts and future rock stars, squatters and allies, those who have never before spoken publicly about their experiences and those who have been longtime spokespeople, this is a diverse group in many ways.
