Dr. Alice P. Green passed away suddenly on the afternoon of August 20, 2024. A civil rights leader, advocate for the marginalized, and a woman with a radical and fierce belief in human freedom — Dr. Green’s passing is a monumental loss to her loved one’s, the Center for Law and Justice, and to all those who believe in freedom. Dr. Green would exhort us not to rest on her account, but to continue the struggle with renewed vigor. While her presence cannot be replaced, her legacy and mission will be upheld, if only we act with solidarity.

Join us, in solidarity, on Friday, August 23, 2024, for a candlelight vigil celebrating Dr. Green’s life and legacy. The procession will begin at 7:30 P.M. from the Center for Law and Justice at 220 Green Street, Albany, and end at the Alice Moore Black Arts and Cultural Center (AMBACC) at 135 South Pearl Street. An opportunity to share thoughts on the legacy of Dr. Alice Green will be offered at the Alice Moore Black Arts and Cultural Center.

The Center for Law and Justice is mourning the loss of our Executive Director Dr. Alice P. Green who was a true champion for Social Justice and Civil Rights locally, across New York State and around the country. Dr. Green left a lasting legacy on all those who knew her, our local community and the country.

The loss of our leader Dr. Alice Green is a significant loss to our organization and to our community. Dr. Green was known nationwide for her work and left a powerful legacy for all of us to remember. Dr. Green will truly be missed! - Ta-Sean Murdock, Director of Operations

We are asking the community for their thoughts and prayers for the friends and family of Dr. Green. Please allow time for Dr. Green's CFLJ Family and her personal family to process and grieve. Thank you!

Rest in peace, Gail Wells - NYC native, Buffalo transplant who helped bring Buffalo’s rich Black history to the world.
