It\\u2019s November 2nd. This day in 2019, New York City began a process of opening up Hart Island to the public, after centuries of using the space to bury its unnamed dead.
\\n\\nJody, Niki, and Kellie are joined by Joe Richman of \\u201cRadio Diaries\\u201d to discuss the history of Hart Island and the ongoing tension between public space and private cemetery. Radio Diaries has a new series called \\u201cThe Unmarked Grave: Stories from Hart Island.\\u201d Listen to it now!
\\n\\nCheck out the Radio Diaries live event on November 9th in NYC - it\\u2019s also being livestreamed.
