Read the Rivertowns Dispatch article about the final phase of the Clark project. The Hastings Historical Society was a key partner in the effort to honor Mamie and Kenneth Clark, which residents Jennifer Ito, Eddie Crawford, and Caitlin Chang proposed in 2022. During the first phase, which included the 2023 co-naming of Mount Hope Boulevard, the society mounted an exhibit on the Clarks at the high school and its headquarters. At the October dedication of three commemorative panels, the Clarks’ granddaughter, Natalie Thompson, thanked Hastings Historical Society president Natalie Barry and the three residents for turning a simple idea into a landmark her family is proud of.
Hastings-on-Hudson incorporated in 1879, is nestled in the lower Hudson Valley, approximately 20 miles north of Manhattan.
