For more than fifty years, Ms. Barron has been actively engaged in protesting against civil and human injustices such as segregation, discrimination, apartheid, exclusion of Africa from the NYC curriculum, police misconduct an environmental racism. And today she is fighting for equality in the commercial lease renewal process by co-sponsoring the SBJSA! 21st SBJSA co-sponsor, CM Mathieu Eugene District 40, D-Brooklyn!
