MOMENT OF SILENCE In memory of Lorenzo Preston Brown, Jr. who was born and raised in La Follette, Tennessee and graduated from Knoxville College, distinguished for its inclusion in the consortium of Historically Black Colleges in the United States. He majored in Science and became a member of the internationally renowned Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. Lorenzo also had a passion for researching and documenting the history of African American families in his hometown resulting in the production of two editions of a book, “A Black Community Emerges and Disappears” as well as a written historical account, dating back to the early 1900’s, of African Americans in North Elmsford. Actively and progressively involved in his community, Lorenzo was a former President and Board Member of the North Elmsford Civic Association where he, along with others, helped spearhead the development of a jogging path and swimming pool for youth at North Elmsford’s Massaro Park. He was honored and recognized, on several occasions by the Town of Greenburgh for his many noted contributions through community involvement – initiating and supporting the development of programs for youth and seniors and helping to improve the quality of life for others.
