Without their assistance and commitment this would not have been possible. Nicole Jordan, Executive Director Raul Espinal, Legislative Coordinator Nicole Weir, Legislative Intern Adrienne L. Johnson, Office of Assemblywoman Annette Robinson New York Red Book The 1977 Black and Puerto Rican Caucus Journal New York State Library Schomburg Research Center for Black Culture New York State Assembly Editorial Services Amsterdam News 2 DEDICATION: Dear Friends, It is with honor that I present to you this up-to-date chronicle of men and women of color who have served in the New York State Legislature. This book reflects the challenges that resolute men and women of color have addressed and the progress that we have helped New Yorkers achieve over the decades. Since this book was first published in 1977, new legislators of color have arrived in the Senate and Assembly to continue to change the color and improve the function of New York State government. In its 48 years of existence, I am proud to note that the Caucus has grown not only in size but in its diversity. Originally a group that primarily represented the Black population of New York City, the Caucus is now composed of members from across the State representing an even more diverse people.

  • Voting Rights in New York City: 1982–2006
    VOTING RIGHTS IN NEW YORK CITY: 1982–2006 JUAN CARTAGENA* I. INTRODUCTION TO THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT At the time of the 1982 amendments to the Voting Rights Act (VRA) and the continuation of Section 5 coverage to three counties in New York City, the city was at a major crossroads regarding faithful compliance with the mandates of the Act. Just one year earlier in the largest city in the United States, the largest municipal election apparatus in the country was brought to a screeching halt when the federal courts enjoined the Septem- ber mayoral primaries—two days before Election Day—because the city failed to obtain preclearance of new (and discriminatory) city council lines and election district changes.1 The cost of closing down the election was enormous, and a lesson was painfully learned: minority voters knew how to get back to court, the courts would not stand by idly in the face of obvious Section 5 noncompliance and business-as-usual politics would no longer be the same. Weeks later, the Department of Justice (DOJ) would not only of- ficially deny preclearance to the city council plan, but would find that its egregious disregard of the burgeoning African-American and Latino voting strength in the city had a discriminatory purpose and a discriminatory ef- fect.2 In this context, the 1982 extension of Section 5 to parts of New York City should not have seemed so anomalous to a country that continued to * General Counsel, Community Service Society.

Without popular support even the most well-intentioned and farsighted public policy cannot be implemented, and without governmental guidance even the most organized and well-funded private efforts are doomed to fail. With these awards HDC seeks to recognize, honor and encourage public participation in the preservation process. These are the individuals and organizations that, with their time, effort and support, move the preservation collaboration forward. By working with, encouraging and cajoling public decision-makers, these grassroots preservationists form the foundation of all our work. In 2000, HDC gave the first annual Grassroots Preservation Awards to recognize such outstanding efforts. In addition, the awards include three special categories. The Friend in High Places and Friend from the Media Awards honor and acknowledge the dedication and support of elected officials and the press for encouraging the cause of historic preservation throughout the city.

  • ROBERT CORNEGY Is a Hardworking First Responder Who Is Dedicated to Serving the Needs of Our Community Twenty-Four Hours a Day, Seven Days a Week
    A Message from New York City’s Frontline Workers VOTE CORNEGY Democrat for the 36th Council District | Bed-Stuy & Crown Heights Supported by: Parent Coordinators | Social Service Employees | Uniform Traffic & Sanitation Agents Uniformed EMTs & Paramedics, FDNY | Uniformed EMS Officers, FDNY | Transit Workers Just like us city workers, ROBERT CORNEGY is a hardworking first responder who is dedicated to serving the needs of our community twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. We published this newsletter to spread the word on why Mr. Cornegy deserves to be our next Councilman. We hope that you will join us in voting for CORNEGY in the Democratic Primary on Tuesday, September 10th! Robert CORNEGY — Fighting for Healthcare for Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights Residents! Last December, Interfaith Medical Center filed for bankruptcy due to decades of financial difficulties related to hospital management and decreases in state and federal aid for Medicaid and Medicare. In July, it was announced that the hospital will close on August 26th, but on that day, the Department of Health decided to delay closure until mid-September. This recent development is due to the work Robert Cornegy has done in the fight to save Interfaith. Robert Cornegy, the Vice-Chair of the Health and Social Services Committee of Community Board 3, started the Campaign to Save Interfaith last fall when he first heard about its plans to close. Cornegy was instrumental in the creation of the Interfaith Community Advisory Board, which is spearheading the effort to engage the community in the process of saving our hospital. Cornegy united churches, public housing residents, elected officials, and healthcare workers to speak out on the importance of Interfaith Medical Center to not only Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights, but also to all of Central Brooklyn.
