For that reason, on March 19th, the two-year anniversary of the war in Iraq, the Suffolk NYCLU will be commemorating the contribution to freedom made by members of our community.
The honorees are Catherine Tambini - the Director of "Farmingville", Vic and Charlotte - Founders and Directors of the Cinema Arts Centre and David Kilmnick - the Founder and Director of Long Island Gay and Lesbian Youth.
Our honorees have all made a major difference in the rights that underlies individuality, expression, openness, association, speech and protest.
