Most importantly, it should be a time of innocence. It should. However, that is not the case. The complications of the world often meet young Black children before they are ready. To borrow from the popular adage, if Black kids are old enough to experience and understand racism, then their non-Black counterparts should be able to do the same." – Mary Lee Kiernan, President & CEO, YWCA Greenwich; Simone Quartey, Director, YWCA Greenwich’s Center for Equity & Justice; and Ali Morgan, Education Consultant, Keynote for 2026 Stand Against Racism letter to the editor https://greenwichfreepress.com/letter-to-the-editor/raabe-3-components-to-analyzing-the-dorothy-hamill-rink-project-fiscal-developmental-and-the-alternatives-246613/ https://greenwichfreepress.com/?p=246613 2026-04-15T8:55:13+0000 greenwichfreepress "The rink proposal has been beaten with a club into its current, optimal form." - Brian Raabe Cardinal at Hamill Rink https://greenwichfreepress.com/around-town/alma-rutgers-to-be-honored-by-barbaras-house-246519/ https://greenwichfreepress.com/?p=246519 2026-04-15T8:27:00+0000 greenwichfreepress On Monday, May 18, Alma Rutgers will receive the Barbara Nolan Award from Barbara’s House.

It is a shame that the President and the Department of Justice are not focused on public safety but are wasting federal resources on attacking Connecticut with a baseless lawsuit that has no foundation in law or fact. Connecticut is not a 'sanctuary' state, whatever that means." – CT Attorney General William Tong Dept of Justice
