Honoring Harry Greenberg in Tompkins Square Park

Back in 2010, Harry Greenberg retired after 23 years as the supervisor of Tompkins Square Park. (Lincoln Anderson did a nice feature on Harry in The Villager here.)

Anyway, you may have seen this new plaque in the Park along the Ninth Street pedestrian walkway...

Howl! leaders made the presentation to Greenberg during the Howl! Festival this past weekend...

Awww! That's great! Congrats to Harry, he really did pull through the ugly years and gave us all a lovely space for the entire neighborhood.

Yeah Harry. I was there for the presentation. He carried the torch to clean up the place with the help of Amy. They did a great job. I love them both.

Harry Greenberg served our community honorably, generously and selflessly, from the riot days of resistance, through the relatively peaceful though unfortunately greatly-gentrified present, making Tompkins Square Park available to everyone.

He is a good man and I was fortunate to have known him....
