Title: Peter Stebbins Interview, November 9, 2019
Date: November 9, 2019
Creator: Dan Kerr; Peter Stebbins
Description: Peter Stebbins, Community Historian and President of the Lily and Earle M. Pilgrim Art Foundation, talks about his traffic box art project for Georgia Avenue Thrive. He discusses his partner, David Jamieson, and their relationships with Earle and Lily Pilgrim, that began in the artist community of Provincetown, MA. He reflects on the ties Lily and Earle had to the neighborhood - Lily grew up in the area and Earle's Carribbean ties mirror the long legacy of Carribbean heritage on Georgia Aveue. Peter discusses how the traffic box art project started with Georgia Avenue Thrive, and talks about the complicated process of creating the art for the boxes. He shares some information about the research he's done on the area and the appreciation he has for the tools provided by the DC Public Library. Peter thinks the overall reception to the traffic box art has been good, and hopes it becomes a city-wide program.

Creator: Nickelsberg, Robert
Description: A man cuts rows of sugar cane a few miles from Basseterre, St. Kitts on June 21, 2002. St. Christopher, as St. Kitts is formally known, was named after Christopher Columbus who first visited the volcanic island in 1493.

Title: St. Kitts and Nevis, Tourists and Monkeys
Date: 2002-06-21
Creator: Nickelsberg, Robert
Description: A woman holds up a baby vervet monkey she and her family adopted after the monkey's mother was killed by a dog at Turtle Beach, St. Kitts, ten miles outside Basseterre, the capital city, June 21, 2002. The family and monkey have received rabie shots. A troop of vervet monkeys show up daily at Turtle Beach for food and passion fruit juice served to them at the local bar. St. Christopher, as St. Kitts is formally known, was named after Christopher Columbus who first visited the volcanic island in 1493. The British and French fought over the island ever since the British settled in 1623. Sugar cane was planted soon after and became the island's main export and resulted in the importation of slave labor. The island is home to thousands of African vervet monkeys. Locals estimate the monkey population is nearly double the island's human population of 40,000. The monkeys were first brought over by the British as pets and soon escaped. Monkey trappers scour the island attempting to trap the green vervet monkeys. No hunting is permitted around Turtle Beach and monkeys are protected. A troop of monkeys comes daily to the Turtle Beach bar to drink passion fruit juice. Many monkeys are sold to a Yale University supported laboratory situated in a restored sugar mill. The St. Kitts Biomedical Research Foundation uses the monkeys in stem cell research, Parkinson's disease research, alcoholism, epilepsy, gene therapy and neurodegenerative disorders. A green vervet monkey can sell for up to $500 USD to overseas laboratories. Yale's St. Kitts Biomedical Research Foundation pays trappers $50-$150 depending on specific requirements for research. Local farmers bitterly complain the vervet monkeys ruin their crops and devour mangoes, cashews, and sweet potatoes.
