PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

ROLL CALL: Town Clerk Judith Beville

MOMENT OF SILENCE
Dr. Olivia Hooker, 103, a local and national hero, and inspiration to all, passed on November 21. In 1921, Dr. Hooker was only 6 years old when she survived the deadly race-related attack on the black section of Tulsa Oklahoma where she lived and her family had a clothing store, which was one of the many buildings burned down; almost 100 years later, a local Tulsa newspaper announced her death as "Olivia Hooker, Tulsa race massacre survivor and 'one of the drum majors for justice,' dies at 103.'" In 1945, Dr. Hooker was the first African American woman to actively serve in the US Coast Guard (USCG); in 2015, the Coast Guard Training Center in Washington, D.C. was renamed in her honor. Dr. Hooker always had time for everyone--whether it was the President of the United States (President Obama singled her out for recognition at a USCG event) or the children interviewing her for a project about her life, an interview that resulted in 12 year old Xposure after-school students being nominated for an Emmy Award. On September 28, 2016, the Greenburgh Town Board named Juniper Hill Road at the intersection of Fair Street by her home as "Dr. Olivia J. Hooker Way." In her honor for her service locally and to her country, the Town Board directed the flags at Town Hall be flown at half-mast and the recordings of Dr. Hooker talking about her life be played nonstop on Greenburgh Cable Access TV during the December 1-2 weekend. Our town was lucky to be the community where Dr. Hooker called home.
