Plaque Unveiling: Amelia Earhart

Join us for the ceremonial unveiling of a plaque honoring pioneer aviator Amelia Earhart at Greenwich House, where she once lived and worked as a social worker. We will hear about her record-breaking feats, her life in the Village, and her cultural legacy.  Read more about Amelia Earhart’s life in Greenwich Village here. 

This is our 26th plaque unveiling. Our plaque program has honored and marked the homes of local figures from Jane Jacobs to James Baldwin; Allen Ginsberg to Charles Mingus; Frank O’Hara to Frank Stella; and Martha Graham to Lorraine Hansberry, as well as historically significant sites such as the former NAACP headquarters, Julius’ Bar, and the Fillmore East.
