  • Annual Report September 1, 2019 - August 31, 2020 Welcome from the Principal
    ANNUAL REPORT SEPTEMBER 1, 2019 - AUGUST 31, 2020 WELCOME FROM THE PRINCIPAL Dear Alumnae, Family and Friends, As the first students to celebrate Graduation virtually, the Class of 2020 not only distinguished themselves academically, but also provided a lasting record of their resilience and courage as women of faith. Through Prayer, Study, Service and Community, our students embody the profile of an Aquinas Graduate: to lead, to advocate, to empower, and to treasure lasting relationships. In this report, we commend the Class of 2020: 9 AP Scholars 2 AP Scholars with Honors 5 Presidential Educational Excellence Awards 10 Presidential Outstanding Achievement Awards Mark A. Shultz 41 students earning a cumulative GPA of 80% or higher Aquinas Principal Receiving upwards of $10 million in grants and scholarships Completed more than 5,000 hours of community service While the listing of college acceptances, scholarships and grants are impressive, the consistent commitment and dedication of our entire Aquinas family are the main reasons for our success. Throughout these challenging times, we share building space and faculty-staff resources with Cardinal McCloskey Community Charter School (Grades K - 2). The opportunity to see others use our cafeteria, gym, and classrooms reminds us of the magnificence of our learning environment. What beautiful facilities! Once the DOH allows us to open these hallowed halls to visitors, you will receive an invitation to see your alma mater again. In the meantime, please check out our online bookstore filled with Aquinas apparel and memorabilia. Like many organizations, “Breakthrough New York,” who provides educational support during the summer and after school during the year to low-income middle schoolers, has chosen remote learning rather than our campus until further notice.

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the Black Hand, forerunners of the Mafia, planted bombs at stores and residences belonging to successful NItalians as a tactic in extortion schemes. To combat this evil, the New York Police Department (NYPD) founded the Italian Squad under Lieutenant Joseph Petrosino, who enthusiastically pursued those gangsters. Petrosino was assassinated in Palermo, Sicily, while investigating the criminal back- ground of mobsters active in New York. The Italian Squad was the gen- esis of today’s Bomb Squad.

  • You've Gone Past Us Now
    the blue afterwards Felix Shafer November 25, 2010 2 You've gone past us now. beloved comrade: north american revolutionary and political prisoner My sister and friend of these 40 years, it's over Marilyn Buck gone through the wire out into the last whirlwind. With time's increasing distance from her moment of death on the afternoon of August 3, 2010, at home in Brooklyn New York, the more that I have felt impelled to write a cohesive essay about Marilyn, the less possible such a project has become. She died at 62 years of age, surrounded by people who loved and still love her truly. She died just twenty days after being released from Carswell federal prison in Texas. Marilyn lived nearly 30 years behind bars. It was the determined effort of Soffiyah Elijah, her attorney and close friend of more than a quarter century that got her out of that prison system at all. Her loss leaves a wound that insists she must be more than a memory and still so much more than a name circulating in the bluest afterwards. If writing is one way of holding on to Marilyn, it also ramifies a crazed loneliness. Shadows lie down in unsayable places. I'm a minor player in the story who wants to be scribbling side by side with her in a cafe or perched together overlooking the Hudson from a side road along the Palisades. This work of mourning is fragmentary, impossible, subjective, politically unofficial, lovingly biased, flush with anxieties over (mis)representation, hopefully evocative of some of the 'multitude' of Marilyns contained within her soul, strange and curiously punctuated by shifts into reverie and poetic time.

  • Diss'ing the "Discovery
    Diss'ing the "Discovery Political Prisoners and Prisoners of War in U.S. Prisons De-Celebrate the Columbus Quincentennary and affirm 500 Years Of Resistance with contributions from * Sundiata Acoli * Marilyn Buck * Mark Cook * Edwin Cortes * * Elizam Escobar * Larry Giddings * David Gilbert * Jaan Laaman * Mondo Langa * Ray Levasseaur * Alberto Rodriguez and updates on * Mumia Abu-Jamal * Norma Jean Croy * Leonard Peltier * BY WAY 8 From the first Native American warriors captured by Columbus' soldiers, political prisoners have been both part of and a result of resistance to imperialism and genocide. In the Spring of 1992, several of us who have done defense work in support of political prisoners and prisoners of war in the u.s. wrote and asked the prisoners to comment on the Columbus madness. This booklet represents the unedited complete text of all the responses we got. As such, this collection is not reflective of the breadth of national struggle within these borders, nor of the proportion of revolutionary women spending their lives behind bars. To the prisoners who responded: Thanks! To those who didn't, we hope that our letters reached you through the prison censors. What a year this has been. Smirking at the end of the war en Iraq, the imperialists started celebrating 500 years of genocide, rape, racism and conquest All over the world, their celebrations have been met with resistance. Wherever the replicas of the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria have landed, Native American activists and others have demonstrated and disrupted. Right now, the corporation which contracted to bring the boats over is nearly bankrupt, and some of their engagements have been canceled.

Buck received an 80­year sentence, which she served in federal prison, from where she published numerous articles and other texts. She was released on July 15, 2010, less than a month before her death at age 62 from cancer.[2] Contents 1 Early life and education 2 1960s and 70s activism 3 Support for the New Afrikan Independence Movement 4 Resistance Conspiracy case 5 As an author 6 Death 7 References Born Marilyn Jean Buck 8 Works 9 External links December 13, 1947 Midland, Texas Died August 3, 2010 (aged 62) Early life and education Brooklyn, New York Nationality American [3] Buck was born December 13, 1947 in Midland, Texas, the daughter of Alma mater New College of California Louis Buck, an Episcopalian minister.
