{"value"=>"<p>Morris-Jumel Mansion is the oldest house in Manhattan. Through historic site tours and education programs, the museum presents the Mansion in the context of domestic life in New York City from 1765 until 1865. Morris-Jumel Mansion seeks to serve as a cultural resource for New Yorkers, national tourists, and international visitors. The mid-20th century saw the neighborhood develop into a vibrant home to many artists and celebrities from the Harlem Renaissance including Paul Robeson, Jackie Robinson, Thurgood Marshall, and Duke Ellington.</p> <p>In 1990, Karen Sotiropoulos, on behalf of the Mansion, conducted interviews with individuals who lived near the Mansion as part of the research for an exhibit entitled <span class=\"title\">Manhattan's Country House</span>, which opened in January 1991. The interviews mainly focused on the interviewees' impressions of the Mansion and the district.</p> <p>Karen Sotiropoulos specializes in African American, African Diaspora, and American Cultural History and earned her Ph.D. from the City University of New York where she taught American History at the CUNY colleges before arriving at Cleveland State University in 2000.</p>"}
