Miriam Friedlander Honored

Legendary Lower Manhattan City Councilmember Miriam Friedlander, who died at the age of 95 last month, was remembered on Thursday, November 12, 2009 at the Council Chambers, City Hall. The event was hosted by Councilwoman Rosie Mendez and Family and Friends. Thanks to Marion Fox I was lucky to be able to attend. Years ago Miriam appointed Marion to one of the Community Boards. Speaking above was Miriam's friend Frances Goldin. "I don't want to hear East Village anymore, we are the Lower East Side" Love it. There was an article about Miriam in The Villager last month
