Three Added to Rockland’s Civil and Human Rights Hall of Fame

Three area residents were inducted into the Rockland Civil and Human
Rights Hall of Fame yesterday. The three were chosen by the Human Rights
Commission for the significant contributions they made to equality and
diversity in Rockland. The three honorees were Paul Adler, who works with
the Holocaust Museum, the Nyack NAACP and Rockland PRIDE; Haverstraw’s
Virginia Norfleet, who discovered remnants of the First African-American
Church in Rockland County while renovating a house in the Village of
Haverstraw; and Piermont’s Barbara Williams, who has advocated for
low-income housing, equal employment opportunities, and voter registration
issues.
