The Resilience of New York in 10 Remarkable Sites
New York has been described as a playground for the rich and powerful, but the state's history is full of ordinary people who have overcome extraordinary struggles.

From immigrant sanctuaries to the Survivor Tree, here are sites where New York has shown its resilience.
