Helen Marshall as a child, and family<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

In this virtual show and tell held on Sept 19, 2024, archivists shared unique items from the Helen Marshall Papers documenting her celebrated career in politics. Marshall (1929\u20132017) was the second woman and first African American Borough President of Queens, elected to three four-year terms starting in 2001. Earlier, she served on the New York City Council, in the New York State Assembly, and as a co-founder of the Langston Hughes Library in Corona, Queens. Prior to her political career, Marshall earned a Bachelor of Arts in education from Queens College and served as a teacher, later making education reform one of her main goals as an elected official. The Helen Marshall Papers were donated to the college by Donald E. Marshall Jr. in 2017.<\/p>\n

The collection was recently processed due to a generous grant from the New York State Archives Documentary Heritage Program.<\/p>\n
