Columbus Park Mural Project Unveiled

(BINGHAMTOM- N.Y) Mayor Matt Ryan will hold a press conference Monday, June 4th at 10:30am in Columbus Park to unveil the new community mural. 40 students from Columbus Alternative High School with project director, Michelle Tulumello painted the mural since the beginning of the school year in September. Funding for the Columbus Park Mural Project is provided in part by a project Grant from the United Culture Fund, a program of the Broome County Arts Council.

“This infusion of art into Columbus Park is a wonderful addition to the neighborhood,” stated Mayor Ryan. “The mural created a partnership between students, community members and neighbor’s, infusing greater pride and ownership of Columbus Park.”

The mural depicts a historical timeline of the Center City neighborhood. The project commemorates the history of the Underground Railroad in Binghamton. Historians have proclaimed that Columbus Park was the first site of the Trinity Zion church in the early 1800’s, which served as a safe house for runaway slaves. Descendants of the Trinity Zion church and others that were part of the Underground Railroad exist in the neighborhood today.

Students from the Columbus school not only worked on the mural, but studied the Underground Railroad and the Civil War. Classes completed group projects and individual reports. Students learned about the local heritage and the struggle for freedom African American’s experienced.

“This community art project increased student’s self-esteem and community pride,” said Michelle Tulumello, artist and project director. “The student’s hard work and creativity has inspired ownership and sense of community.”

This Saturday, the Broome County Urban League is hosting the Annual Juneteenth Celebration to commemorate the end of slavery. The free event will take place in Columbus Park from 12pm to 5pm, beginning with an 11:30am procession to the park from City Hall. There will be food, music, games, prizes and community demonstrations. Should it rain, festivities will move to St. Mary’s gym located at Hawley and Fayette St.

Invitation to an International Meeting

To communist, leftist and democratic parties, peace organizations, parliamentarians, trade unions, women's organizations, representative of the public opinion, and youth movements.



In the joint appeal which was issued last month, both our parties the Palestinian People's Party )PPP(, and the Communist Party of Israel (CPI), called to mark the 40th anniversary of the occupation of the Palestinian territories, which began in June 1967, and the 60th anniversary of the issuing of the UN General Assembly resolution regarding the establishment of two states in mandatory Palestine, in November 1947. We called for these two occasions to be highlighted through an extensive range of international activities, with the aim of exerting pressure to bring the Israeli occupation to an end and to pave the way for the establishment of a just and durable peace between the two states: Israel and Palestine.

We call on all peace loving people, parties and organizations in the world to declare the week between June 2nd and 10th as the:



International week for the struggle to end the Israeli occupation & establish a just and lasting peace between Israel and Palestine



during which activities will be held in solidarity with the Palestinian people and the Israeli peace movement in their struggle against the Israeli occupation and its crimes and to establish a lasting peace.



As part of these activities, both our parties are initiating to convene an international meeting in Jerusalem . The Palestinian leadership and Palestinian and Israeli groups & organizations, will participate in this event. The international meeting will be held in Jerusalem in early June 2007 with the theme:



The Jerusalem Initiative for Peace on the Basis of Two States:
