On December 31st, 1999, the NY Journal News honored my late father, Dr. Errold D. Collymore, D.D.S., as one of "The Most Influential People..." of the 20th Century in Westchester and Putnam Counties (New York State).
The recognition was given for his significant efforts in civil rights work in the 1930's through 1950's. (Long before civil rights was "popular.")
It is with great pride that I include a copy of the article here.
