Frederick K. Brewington was the recipient of the ERASE Racism Abraham Krasnoff Courage and Commitment Award. He was presented with the award at a special ceremony at the Garden City Hotel on June 7.

During the event, Mr. Brewington — along with Rev. Dr. Calvin O. Butts, III, senior pastor of the Abyssinian Church in Harlem and president of the State University of New York at Old Westbury — portrayed Malcolm X and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., respectively, in a conversation between the two civil rights figures and how they might have commented on the social and political climate of 2017 if they were alive today.

Founded in 2001, ERASE Racism challenges structural racism on Long Island, as well as regionally and nationally. ERASE Racism conducts and publishes extensive research that grounds its work and is used by the media, public officials, academics, other non-profits, and community members. ERASE Racism also redresses racial discrimination in housing, public school education, and community development via community organizing, policy and legislative advocacy, litigation, and educating the public.
