IN SORROW: The passing of Gloria Swanson | Coalition to Save Harlem Member

Ms. Swanson testified at the United Nation Special Housing Rapporteur's Town Hall on October 22, 2010

The Coalition to Save Harlem is sad to announce the passing of Gloria Swanson. Ms. Swanson was one of the original founders of the Coalition to Save Harlem.  Ms. Swanson also shared the first Co-Chairmanship of the Coalition with Sikhulu Shange (of the Record Shack) . As an active member of the Coalition, Ms. Swanson fought tirelessly for the interests of the Village of Harlem and against City Planning's 125th Street Rezoning plans. The Coalition will miss her dearly. We give our condolences to her family.

In the image above, Ms. Swanson is testifying at the United Nation Special Housing Rapporteur's Town Hall on October 22, 2010 about housing problems at Delano Village located in the Village of Harlem.
