O’Connor Date Completed: April 26, 2011 Last updated by: M. O’Connor – Jan. 24, 2018 Politics Collection, 1867- . 1.5 cubic ft. The collection, which spans the years 1867- , is comprised of correspondence, political mailings, ephemera, memorabilia, postcards, printed materials, photographs and negatives. Noteworthy items include photographs and/or negatives of Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard M. Nixon and Robert F. Kennedy campaigning, touring, or attending events on Long Island. The majority of the photographs are of a rally held for then-Senator John F. Kennedy at Roosevelt Raceway, Mineola, on Oct. 12, 1960. Included in these rally photographs are such notables as John F. “Jack” English, Nassau Democratic chairman, and then soon-to-be Nassau County executive, Eugene H. Nickerson. There are also a small number of negatives of a Kennedy whistle-stop appearance at the Wantagh railroad station, and of a JFK rally at MacArthur Airport in Ronkonkoma. After flying to MacArthur, Kennedy was driven to a rally at the Long Island Arena in Commack, where he was greeted by over eight thousand enthusiastic supporters. The images of Robert F. Kennedy, mostly black and white negatives, follow him during two tour stops he made on Long Island on February 17, 1967. The first stop was at Syosset High School, where he addressed the student body. Later, he attended a luncheon honoring new Newsday publisher, Bill D. Moyers, at the old Garden City Hotel. Along with Kennedy and Moyers, the members of the dais included Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller; Harry F. Guggenheim, Newsday’s president and editor in chief; Sen. Jacob K. Javits; Suffolk County Executive H. Lee Dennison; and Nassau County Executive Eugene H. Nickerson, who had also appeared with Kennedy at Syosset H.S. The six 8” x 10” black and white photos of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower show the future president, on Oct. 28, 1952, addressing supporters at the old Nassau County Court House in Mineola. On that day, Eisenhower’s motorcade traveled through Queens County as well as through numerous communities in Nassau County. Also notable in the collection is a ballot (18” x 25”) from the 1896 presidential election, which was won by William McKinley (25th President of the United States). Politics Collection, 1867- .

  • The 2020 Long Island Power 100
    haveseen/Shutterstock Power 100 The 2020 Long Island Power 100 The leaders of Nassau and Suffolk SHARE: Where Long Island goes, so goes New York. Two years ago, Democrats picked up several Long Island seats in the state Senate, which proved pivotal in giving the party full control of the state Legislature and ushered in a wave of progressive policymaking. This year, Republicans bounced back on Long Island, holding onto their House seats while proving more competitive in state legislative contests as well. City & State’s Long Island Power 100 reflects those shifting political winds, highlighting not only the most powerful political figures in Nassau and Suffolk counties – elected officials, government appointees, business and labor leaders, academics and advocates – but also how they stack up against each other in 2020. 96. Lynda Perdomo-Ayala Chair, Suffolk County Human Rights Commission In a letter to Newsday in May, Lynda Perdomo-Ayala urged Long Islanders to take a stand against racism after the Suffolk County Human Rights Commission saw an increase in harassment and attacks aimed at Asian and Asian Pacific American community members. Appointed as chair a year ago, Perdomo-Ayala is a licensed master social worker and serves as administrator in the Department of Pharmacological Sciences at Stony Brook University Medical Center. 1.

  • Veterans' Veterans'
    Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins Senator John J. Flanagan NEWNEW YORKYORK STATESTATE SENATESENATE VETERANS’ HALL OF FAME Dear Veterans, Friends and Families: Welcome to the annual Veterans’ Hall of Fame Ceremony. It is with a great sense of pride and admiration that we in the New York State Senate are once again honoring and recognizing outstanding veterans from the Empire State who have distinguished themselves both in military and civilian life. The veterans gathered here today have given their lives to a cause greater than themselves and, in doing so, have protected our country and way of life. Today we honor these heroic New Yorkers whom we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude. Their past bravery in military endeavors has helped shape the American landscape - a country of strength, freedom and diverse beauty. Many of those here today have also contributed extensively to their communities. These are not only veterans, but community organizers, teachers, small business owners, police officers, firefighters, emergency personnel and first responders. Finally, as we pay homage to all the veterans, let us not forget the families – fathers, mothers, daughters and sons – who also participated in the rich tradition of military life. Thank you all for your laudable service to our nation. Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins Senator John J. Flanagan Democratic Temporary President Conference Leader Majority Leader NEW YORK STATE SENATE VETERANS’ HALL OF FAME HONORING THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF ARMISTICE DAY November 11, 2018 marks the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Armistice between the Allied Powers and the Central Powers at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918.
