Rosen Wins Essay, City Council Citation

Belinda Rosen is pictured receiving a City Council Citation as Council Speaker Christine Quinn proudly looks on.
Belinda Rosen, a Belle Harbor resident, received a City Council Citation from Councilman Leroy Comrie at an awards ceremony held inside City Hall on February 28. Rosen was the winner of the essay contest "Why The 'N' Word Should Never Be Used," which was sponsored by Councilman Comrie.

There is a nationwide movement to educate people about the negative effects of using racial slurs, and the City Council has voted to symbolically ban the use of the "n" word. Rosen's essay was chosen from well over 300 entries that were submitted by middle school students throughout New York City. She is a seventh grade Honors student at IS 98, The Bay Academy in Brooklyn.
