Paul Feiner Rejects Invitation For Courageous Conversation On Mural Controversy
As we have in the past forum on racism in Greenburgh in Novemeber 2021 and The Greenburgh Housing Crisis forum in March 2021, we reached out to everyone involved to a As we have in the past forum on racism in Greenburgh in Novemeber 2021 and The Greenburgh Housing Crisis forum in March 2021, we reached out to everyone involved to an intellectual, difficult but very necessary conversation to discuss the controversy over the Greenburgh Mural to take place on our weekly talk radio show, People Before Politics Radio, Sunday, September 4th. We invited Supervisor Paul Feiner, Councilman Ken Jones, artist Kindo Art, organizer Clifton Abrams and others who can speak to this matter to join Damon and myself. Paul Feiner responded back that is unavailable as he has in at least one of the aforementioned forums we have done in the past. After speaking to several of the individuals involved individually, one thing became apparent, this debate over the Mural is getting quite messy and likely to continue to polarize folks on either side.

I looked forward to reading the articles by both Rev. Lane Cobb AND Mr. A.J. Woodson, regarding the Greenburgh Mural controversy. ("Greenburgh Mural Controversy an Opportunity for Reconciliation and Healing," by Lane Cobb MS, CPC; "Paul Feiner Rejects Invitation For Courageous Conversation On Mural Controversy," by A.J. Woodson)
Both these authors are known to offer wise, thoughtful, forthright, and carefully considered information and opinions on difficult topics. BUT BOTH articles are truncated in this online format—neither is given the chance to fully make their points.
In addition, Mr. Woodson’s article was further foreshortened by a large typo at the very beginning: the first 1.5 line is repeated as one long sentence with a sudden capital letter in the middle.
Is there a way these 2 articles could be published IN THEIR ENTIRETY, so the authors' voices can be fully heard?
Thanks very much!
Sincerely, Heidi M. Kupke
