attempt to bring awareness and focus on the history of African-American’s in the community. This effort
included multi-venue program coordination, acquired funding, extensive community and regional outreach
with all levels of government and private sector individuals. The project provided a 15-year platform for
writers, historians, artists, in an environment of welcome to the larger multi-cultural community for the
purpose of celebrating Mr. Northup’s life while brining focus to the history and culture of African-
Americans in the community. This project involved year round coalition building with community leaders,
politicians, clergy, women’s groups, NAACP, Centro Civico, Center for Law & Justice, Albany, NY, non-
