PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE |
|
MOMENT OF SILENCE (tributes/photos in progress)
In memory of Charlie Gray Jr., Charlie was a lifelong resident of Greenburgh. He worked for the Town as Forman with our Sanitation Department. He retired just a few years. Everyone that knew Charlie loved him and he will be missed by all.
In memory of Joyce Baumgarten, who was the first woman elected to the position of Chairperson for the Democratic Party in the Town of Greenburgh. As Chairperson, Joyce spearheaded both the successful election in 1971 of the Honorable George Bland, the first Black man elected to the Greenburgh Town Council, as well as the election of Tony Veteran, the first Democrat to be elected as Greenburgh Town Supervisor in over 75 years. Before Joyce became Chairperson, there was not a single Democrat holding office in the Town of Greenburgh. By the time she left office seven years later, all elected officials were Democrats.
In memory of Harry Phillips, III, who was a leader in local school and Democratic politics. He served as PTA president, was a Democratic District Leader, participated in many committees geared toward improving the schools, and was Chairman of the Greenburgh for Stevenson campaign in 1955-56. Harry’s commitment to Greenburgh School District 8 was partly due to the fact that in 1950, prior to the Brown vs. Board of Education decision, the district had decided to implement busing to integrate the schools. One of the achievements that Harry was most proud of was helping to facilitate a meeting between members of the school board and Frieda Schiff Warburg that resulted in Warburg donating her 150 acre estate to the school district. This allowed for the building of Woodlands High School on the estate grounds. Warburg, like Phillips, was impressed by the school district’s commitment to integration.
In memory of Vanessa Merton, Vanessa was a Hastings activist, advocate for immigrants, democratic district leader, and Pace Law School Professor (Darrow Slade Godeski Merton will speak following the moments of silence)
