Canarsie Youth Activist Honored By Sen. Clinton

As Black History Month came to a close, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton last Sunday hosted her seventh Annual African American Heritage Celebration at District Council 37 to pay tribute to the leadership and achievements of six distinguished New York African American leaders, including hip hop singer Divine Bradley, who started Team Revolution, a youth empowerment group based in Canarsie.

For the past seven years Bradley has operated Team Revolution, an organization that has established positive after school alternatives for community youths.

Established by Clinton during her first year in office, the African American Heritage Celebration aims to acknowledge the tremendous contribution of notable African Americans to New York, by honoring individuals and organizations that have been successful in a wide variety of fields - from government and science, to business and entertainment.

"It is fitting that during Black History Month we honor the contributions of leaders in New York's African American community who with their leadership are writing the next chapter," Senator Clinton said. "These driven individuals are making the world a better place by pushing for racial justice and social progress within their communities and setting the bar high for the rest of us to follow."
