Hempstead High School shines with ‘Wild ’N Out’
Students celebrate spirit with MTV partnership
By MASHIAT AZMI
As the school year comes to an end, on a bright, sunny day, Hempstead High School entered into a partnership with “Wild ’N Out,” MTV’s hit entertainment franchise, to partner with students and community leaders for a high-energy pep rally.
The hour-long June 11 event aimed to celebrate school spirit, youth empowerment, and community pride. It featured music, entertainment, student participation, with special guests — Zeddy Will, Fabolous, Boosie, Bobby, Shmurd, and Soulja Boy as Hempstead High received national attention through one of television’s most recognizable youth-focused brands.
The event is mostly focused on entertainment, highlighting the creativity, talent, and energy of the Hempstead students while bringing them together in a positive and uplifting environment, school officials said.
Kristin Kelly, assistant principal at Hempstead High School, said that the goal of this event was to re-engage students as they prepare for their upcoming state examination. She emphasized
the importance of students engaging with each other beyond academics.
Kelly said that the event was designed to foster a sense of community among students. She noted it was an opportunity for the students to enjoy time together in the hallway and the classroom.
“I think the message is we go through struggles together, and we also get to experience amazing times together, whether we're crying or we're laughing,” Kelly said. “We're a family, and it's always a blessing when we all get to come together.”
Junior Allison Moreno, a snare drummer in the school drumline, expressed her excitement about this show, highlighting Nick Cannon’s comedic talent and influence as an American actor, comedian, rapper, producer, and TV host.
Monero described this show as a platform where everyone can express their true selves. She believes this event will positively impact students' personalities and encourage them to embrace their uniqueness.

Gun survivors share their support
By JOSEPH D’ALESSANDRO jdalessandro@liherald.com
On Gun Violence Awareness Day, a field of orange hearts surrounded a statue in Eisenhower Park of a young girl hiding beneath a school desk, each one representing one of the 130 lives lost to gun violence every day.
Orange is the color of gun safety. Over 100 activists gathered wore the color on June 5, sharing information with gun violence survivors and speaking about their personal history with the topic.
are easily modified into rapid-fire weapons, holding software companies accountable for 3D printed weapons, and Francesco’s Law, which requires firearm owners to lock up all weapons if a person under the age of 18 is in the home.
In America, about 130 people die to gun violence every day.
“I think it's sad that we still have to do this,” said Amanda Geist of Merrick. “The consequences of gun violence are very real and very evident. It really shouldn't be a debate anymore… it is absolutely heartbreaking for families and for survivors, and I admire the courage it takes to continue and to channel that into activism.”
WEast Meadow’s Janet Klein Goldstein is a fierce advocate for gun violence victims. She is a leading member of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America’s New York chapter. She invited local elected officials to the event to remind them of gun legislation’s life-or-death stakes.
“We want them to hear the voices of survivors,” she said. “We want to honor the victims of gun violence, and that's why we invite them here.”

Goldstein and her colleagues take their advocacy on the road, heading all the way to Albany to push for “common sense” legislation, she said.
“We were in Albany three or four times these past seven months, and we advocated for two bills that the governor signed into law just recently,” Goldstein said. “A third one she signed into law (days) ago, and she's signing the fourth into law as we speak. It's breaking news.”
These bills include prohibitions against manufacturing firearms that
Event organizer Stephanie Draine and George Graydon are the founders of Life After Loss A.N.D.R.E., a nonprofit that focuses on helping gun violence survivors through the recovery process. The couple lost their son, Andre, in 2014.
“We started this in 2020, trying to deal with the trauma of losing a child through gun violence,” Draine, a resident of Hempstead, said. “Not having that type of support back in 2014 motivated us to start an organization to support and advocate families who are impacted as we are and advocate speak out against gun violence.”
Draine and Graydon spent the past six years supporting families through mental, medical and legal challenges.
“We just didn't want nobody to go through what we went through, as far as the court system goes, and not know-

dents have these opportunities to see these types of people,” Moreno said. “We like seeing these types of people that are a good influence, or like can influence our students to be someone, to be themselves.”
She said that Hempstead students are a tight-knit community with various talented individuals, including musicians and actors.
“We always say we're tiny but mighty…in our school, we're kind of like family, everyone's like family, everyone gets to know each other, everyone accepts everyone for who they are,” Moreno said. “This opportunity with Nick Cannon, everyone's very in well, and now being here is a very special thing for us, because it's like we get also to embrace our talents, they get to embrace our talents, and we can relate with them.”
Melanie Orozco Lopez, also in 11th grade and a drumline member, was introduced to this show by her friend and showed her excitement about having a nationally recognized show.
Orozco Lopez said that the event is
significant for her school, even though the school has received a negative reputation in the past. She added that this event allows the Hempstead community to challenge the stereotypes and demonstrate its strength.
“Even though we have or had a bad reputation in the past, we are still here, we are still a community, and we deserve respect,” Orozco Lopez said.
She particularly looked forward to the improv rap segment as she thinks it will resonate with many hip-hop enthusiasts in the school, and highlighted Hempstead High’s expansive athletic program, featuring many talented student-athletes, as well as its music and arts programs, including enrichment and all-county programs.
Kelly believes that through this nationally recognized program, Hempstead High School will be able to showcase its personality and its love for community
“I think it's important because it gives people the opportunity to see our student body and our school community in the light of our personality,” Kelly said. “The love that we have for one

ERASE Racism discusses the modern fight for equality on L.I.
By ANDREW FRANCIS afrancis@liherald.com
The Long Island-based advocacy group ERASE Racism held its 25th Anniversary Benefit event earlier this month, giving out awards for anti-racism and anti-discrimination work and awarding scholarships to students who embody the organization’s values.
Hundreds of guests crowded the Garden City Hotel on June 3 for a cocktail hour and to take part in ERASE Racism’s silent auction, where items ranging from artwork to lottery tickets were bid on for up to thousands of dollars. The funds will go to ERASE Racism advocacy initiatives for public education and housing equality.
Students Ria Bhatia, of Jericho High School; Edwin Montes Dubon, of Uniondale High; Zamari Paul, of Malverne High; and Janeiry Savinon, of New Hyde Park High, were each awarded $500 scholarships for winning a student essay contest. Malverne High student Matthew DaCosta was awarded the $1,500 John Wenzel Scholarship for his work with ERASE Racism.
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones and activist Monique Fitzgerald were honored with special awards for their advocacy against structural racism. Hannah-Jones’s work on the 1619 Project, a New York Times Magazine and audio series examining the beginnings of American slavery and its generational effects, was highlighted

during the program.
Hannah-Jones and Elaine Gross, ERASE Racism’s founding president, had a “fireside chat,” discussing how racism continues to impact life for minorities, particularly Black communities, on Long Island and across the country.
“This is a hard time for civil rights organizations, because there is a very organized and powerful effort from the highest reaches of the government that basically is saying there is nothing called structural racism,” Gross told the Herald before the event.
She identified an April settlement between the U.S. Justice Department and the Town of Oyster Bay over alleged housing discrimination as an example of
structural racism on Long Island. In the case, which was settled in U.S. District Court, the town was found liable for “intentionally discriminating against Black individuals” by giving the children of current residents priority in purchasing housing units under its Next Generation housing program. This allegedly hindered the ability of Blacks and other racial minorities to buy homes in predominantly white Oyster Bay.
Hannah-Jones pointed out that racism on Long Island often is not a conscious effort by residents, but rather the result of the region’s historically discriminatory structure.
“You as an individual white person don’t have to be racist at all to have your housing choices and the benefits of your housing choices shaped by a structure that you have nothing to do with creating,” she said.
Talking more about the 1619 Project and contemporary racism, HannahJones contended that the sanitized way in which many schools and institutions deal with America’s racist history is counterproductive to the goal of erasing racism.
“The truth about America is deeply heartbreaking,” she said, “but I find the truth to be a liberating thing, because one can confront the truth that everything that is within the law is constructed. If you know that it’s constructed, then you know it can be deconstructed.”
Hannah-Jones acknowledged that she was not very optimistic about race rela-
tions and how discrimination is handled in the U.S., citing the current administration as a reason for such pessimism. But, she and Gross said they believe that as today’s young people advocate for social justice, they have the potential to unlock a better future for Long Island and beyond.

Living history event spotlights African American patriots
The Hempstead Public Library and Historic St. George’s Church will present a free living history program highlighting the role of African American soldiers in the American Revolution on June 27.
Historian and re-enactor Duane Jackson will portray a soldier of the 1st Rhode Island Regiment during the free program, scheduled for 3 p.m. at Historic St. George’s Church, 319 Front St. The regiment was among the first military units composed of African American soldiers who fought as free men during the Revolutionary War.
Through period clothing, historical interpretation and storytelling, Jackson will share the experiences and contributions of African American soldiers, including their involvement in the Battle of Pines Bridge in New York in 1781.
Organizers said the presentation will offer attendees an opportunity to learn about a lesser-known chapter of American history and the sacrifices made by soldiers who fought for liberty during the nation’s founding.

Randi Shubin Dresner marks 25 years with Island Harvest
By JORDAN VALLONE jvallone@liherald.com
Staff members, board members, family and friends recently gathered at Island Harvest Food Bank’s Melville headquarters to surprise Chief Executive Officer Randi Shubin Dresner as she marked 25 years leading what has grown into Long Island’s largest hunger-relief organization.
Since joining Island Harvest in May 2001, Shubin Dresner, of East Meadow, has overseen the organization’s transformation from a small food-rescue operation that distributed fewer than 2 million pounds of food annually into a regional nonprofit that now distributes more than 21 million pounds of food each year to food-insecure residents across Nassau and Suffolk counties.
During her tenure, Island Harvest expanded its mission beyond food distribution, developing programs designed to address the root causes of poverty and hunger. Under her leadership, the organization established a Workforce Skills Development Institute, launched a Food as Medicine nutrition initiative in partnership with hospitals and clinics, expanded shortterm case management and referral services, and developed an organic farm, greenhouse and network of Giving Gardens throughout Long Island.
Island Harvest has also played a key role in emergency response efforts, providing food and support during major crises, including Superstorm Sandy and the Covid-19 pandemic.
The organization said it has experienced consistent annual revenue growth during Shubin Dresner’s leadership while broadening the scope of its services to meet changing community needs.
Reflecting on the milestone and the surprise celebration, Shubin Dresner thanked colleagues and supporters for helping build the organization over the past quarter-century.
“A simple thank you cannot fully capture my gratitude to you for your dedication and support in building this impactful organization,” she said. “The surprise reception was filled with
warm memories of our shared journey and the difference we've made together.”
She also acknowledged the sacrifices made by staff members and volunteers throughout the years.
“True community work requires a shared sacrifice, and many of us have stepped away from our families to serve our neighbors during major disasters, daily crises and holiday seasons,” Shubin Dresner said. “Hunger remains a daily crisis for those affected, and balancing our calling, families and personal time is an ongoing challenge. Even after 25 years at Island Harvest, I continue to learn how to navigate that blend. My heart is full because of your shared passion and support.”
Island Harvest Food Bank serves children, families, seniors and veterans across Long Island through food distribution, nutrition education, workforce development, advocacy and other support services. The organization is a member of Feeding America, the nationwide network of food banks working to combat hunger in the United States.

Activists and politicians meet on gun violence awareness
ing where to turn,” Graydon said.
Long Beach’s James Hodge spoke at the event. His nephew was killed and other relatives injured in acts of violence, and he is committed to preventing further harm.
“I continue to advocate on behalf of policies that will help eradicate gun violence,” he said. “There's plenty of preventative measures that we see go on in different places that work, and so I'll continue speaking up and speaking out.”
Freeport’s Richard Paul is the executive director of So Rich In Community, a local organization that partners with schools, offers support services and volunteer opportunities for at-risk youth. He also works with the Northwell Center for Gun Violence Prevention.
“Like many of us here, we are always looking forward to the day in which we can look for new jobs — the day in which our center can close down because these hearts won't be here anymore, and the violence in our communities will cease,” he said. “Sometimes it's rough, and we feel like we're not making an impact, but I want all of you to know that you are, and I'm honored to be here with you today.”
County Legislator Olena Nicks was one of the politicians in attendance. She spoke as both an elected official and a survivor of gun violence, which caused the death of her mother three years ago.
