Kurtz noted: \u201cI want to tell the other story, the forgotten story of the plaque with the workers&#8217; names. The story of the men who built the empire state building.\u201d In his research, he made a remarkable discovery &#8211; the men listed on the plaque and the men Hine photographed were one and the same.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13809\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13809\" style=\"width: 407px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13809\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2021\/11\/Screen_Shot_2021-09-13_at_11.29.47.2e16d0ba.fill-661x496-1-300x225.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"407\" height=\"305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2021\/11\/Screen_Shot_2021-09-13_at_11.29.47.2e16d0ba.fill-661x496-1-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2021\/11\/Screen_Shot_2021-09-13_at_11.29.47.2e16d0ba.fill-661x496-1.png 661w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 407px) 100vw, 407px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13809\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by: Lewis Hine.

Kurtz brings together the fragmented information about the men who built the Empire State Building to shift the balance within these photos and to recognize the individuals pictured.\u00a0 He hopes \u201cto hold the tension between the specific and the general as clearly as possible, before our eyes, in order to show what little we know about these individual men and to demonstrate [the] cultural pressure to erase even that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sierra Acosta ( \u201825, Sociology Major) who attended the lecture, noted \u201cIt was almost as if being part of a group was more important than individual recognition\u2026 These brave men are only known for their occupations, seen very fleetingly; but their true identity has been robbed and no commemoration is left to look back on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do not think wealth alone should be a qualifier [for who gets to be remembered], wealth alone does little to quantify what someone has contributed to a society, and I believe it is those that contribute that should be remembered,\u201d concluded Rodrigo Servin (\u201825, Economics Major).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>Kurtz is also the <\/i>author of <i>Three Minutes in Poland: Discovering a Lost World in a 1938 Family Film<\/i>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Glenn Kurtz, presidential fellow at Chapman University recently presented the Chapman community with a glimpse into his forthcoming book\u00a0 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":13807,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"custom_author_name":"Natalie Figueroa","chapman_pin_hero_slider":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[43,5,2631],"tags":[3180,3181,239,3182],"class_list":["post-13806","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-history-2","category-news","category-wilkinson-college","tag-dr-glenn-kurtz","tag-historic-photos","tag-history","tag-lewis-hine-and-the-men-who-built-the-empire-state-building"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
