Honoree: Rosella Gregg [no dates given] was born in Greenwood, South Carolina and raised partially in Washington D.C. before settling in Harlem, New York. In 1963, she moved to the Prospect Avenue in the Bronx, where she met Aurelia and Jerome Greene. Under the tutelage of Aurelia Green and the late Rev. Wendell Foster, she became passionate about Black civic engagement. Often times, she was called upon by political leaders to encourage the public to vote. However, it was her wish to also be a supporting hand to struggling families. She took on the role of liaison between community members and city agencies. She advocated for individual rights and community programming in her community. (Gbson)
