“The ship is in,” said former Congressman Charles B. Rangel, putting a veritable capstone on the Infrastructure Workforce Initiative named in his honor and bringing to the close an evening of celebration last Thursday at City College’s Shepard Hall.
Much of that excitement resonated throughout the vast Great Hall as a number of notables assembled to pay tribute to Rangel’s peerless legacy with opening comments from Dr. Vincent Boudreau, president of CCNY. After praising Rangel’s long and productive leadership in Congress, President Boudreau cited that the Charles B. Rangel Center for Infrastructure and Workforce Development, “will not create dead end jobs.
Among the dignitaries hailing Rangel and summoned to the podium by moderator Lloyd Williams, president and CEO of the Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce, were such former and current elected officials as David Paterson, Inez Dickens, Cordell Cleare, Gale Brewer, Robert Jackson, Alvin Bragg, and William Thompson. Former Gov. Paterson noted that Rangel “feared no issues or persons, and has brought to the community a whole new vision to this inaugural moment.
