It's official! I am in the history books. Today, Mayor John C. Tkazyik (of Poughkeepsie, New York) has attended a reception to honor and present me with the proclamation of the day in my name. That's right, Hezues R' Day! The gentleman I am standing with in the picture, Tree Arrington, is a community leader who is responsible for organizing the weekend and its tribute to the person that I am pointing to in the mural behind us. In memory of Lateef Islam. I was honored to have my day proclamation made during Lateef's Memorial Youth Weekend, as he was an icon to our community.
Btw, they mentioned having me to return, on this day each year, to give a "Hezues R' Award" to youth who show leadership, passion and purpose for their community. They're even talking about renaming a street. How about Hezues R' Avenue... Hezues Road... HR Block. Leave a comment with your suggestion for a proper street name.

HR Block - is reminiscent of the company (H&R Block) - so NO…
Hezues R' Avenue is cool...
The winning contender (in my opinion) is Hezues Road… sublimely it represents the journey you traveled from a Poughkeepsie tragedy to a Poughkeepsie hero. Hezues Road is the road of champions… a path taken by those who understand they are purposed to fulfill a destiny greater than themselves. Continue to be the vessel that inspires others towards the road to success… Blessings always!
