Students in Hamilton's Program in New York City visited the N.Y. Historical Society Museum on Aug. 29 to see the Plague in Gotham! exhibit. The exhibit focused on cholera in New York City in 1832, in which a mixture of wretched environmental conditions coupled with false beliefs about the science of transmission (that cholera was not contagious and that it befell those of dissolute moral character) contributed to the epidemic.
