Scott is an educated young Black woman who comes to the city pursuing her ambitions to become a successful writer, during a historical period that has come to be characterized by wealthy white 'robber barons' like Rockefeller, Carnegie and Vanderbilt. Hear a special presentation of the event, which was held before a live audience in The Greene Space, with Tenement Museum researcher Marquis Taylor, historian Leslie Harris, and Denée Benton, the actor who plays Peggy Scott.

All Of It with Alison Stewart is a show about culture and its consumers.
ALL OF IT is a show about culture and context.
ALL OF IT is a show about culture and the culture.
Our aim is to engage the thinkers, doers, makers, and creators, about the what and why of their work. People make the culture and we hope, need, and want the WNYC community to be a part of our show. As we build a community around ALL OF IT, we know that every guest and listener has an opinion. We won’t always agree, but our varied perspectives and diversity of experience is what makes New York City great.
ALL OF IT will be both companion for and curator of the myriad culture this city has to offer. In the words of Cristina De Rossi, anthropologist at Barnet and Southgate College, London:
"Culture encompasses religion, food, what we wear, how we wear it, our language, marriage, music, what we believe is right or wrong, how we sit at the table, how we greet visitors, how we behave with loved ones, and a million other things."
...In other words, ALL OF IT.
