Honoree: Sandra Gresham (1958-2017) was an educator who lovingly raised her own family of three children.  She found time and energy to teach and volunteer at the historic Little Red Schoolhouse, as well as coordinate its summer camp program.  The school cherished her for her advocacy and dedication. Even in her times of illness she spent half of her time helping her community and guiding health leaders and workers.  She maintained a positive outlook so strong, that she could overcome her own health issues and advocate for others through her work with the Children’s Defense Fund. She supported and guided her fellow patients at the dialysis clinic until the last days of her life.  She fought for civil rights and justice in her community and within the United States.  In partnership with 1199 SEIU and her husband, President George Gresham, she fought for healthcare for workers and acted as his unofficial and most-trusted advisor.   (King)
