Building a legacy

The Albany Civil Rights Institute received $5,000 pledges last week from Albany Mayor Willie Adams and his wife, Connie, and Artensian Contracting Co.’s Glenn Singfield and Jake Barrow and their wives, Tandra and Ashley, to kick off the organization’s Legacy Pew Campaign. The donors will get their names on a plaque on a pew in the Old Mt. Zion Church, part of the institute. The Legacy Pew plaques are available to commemorate a special person (in honor or memory), organization, freedom slogan, a memorable period or moment in time and other treasured remembrances. Pictured, from left, are Institute supporter Dr. C.W. Grant and Singfield.
