Ms. Nancy Penny Williams lost her life saving children lives.
Why is this important?
We the people of Stuyvesant Gardens community & the Williams family lost a great person, Ms. Williams lost her life saving children. When Ms. Williams learned children were in the backyard while shots were being fired, she rushed out the lobby to push the children to safety. While doing so, she lost her life. Her killer was never arrested. She was very active in the Stuyvesant community. Seven years ago we were promise by a council member, Darlene Marley, that she would honor Ms. Williams by naming Stuyvesant Gardens playground after Ms. Williams. She never delivered!
