About Michael
Dr. Michael Hittman is an anthropologist and retired Professor Emeritus at Long Island University. He is a published author of several works on Native Americans, including Wovoka and The Ghost Dance. His anthropological-like study of the Brooklyn Paramount Theatre, the world's first motion picture theatre built expressly for the talkies, channels his background in jazz as an NPR-radio host in recounting the fabled history of the theatre. He lives with his wife in Manhattan and Southold, New York.
