Now, 39 years later, over 250,000 hours of volunteer work, 52 People for Progress have created one of the best playgrounds in the South Bronx. Playground 52 is a living testament to Al’s vision through a philosophy of community service, leadership development, empowerment, brotherhood, and caring, while providing access to world class music, culture and the arts. His other accomplishments in the South Bronx include the opening of Rainey Garden in 1984, and in 1989, the opening of Demera/Santiago Garden on Avenue St. John and Kelly Street.

The success of 52 People for Progress, Inc. has to do with the many partners involved in realizing the dream.
