Thanks

Grateful acknowledgements to Staten Island public historian Debbie-Ann Paige for her invaluable assistance in the research behind Standoff on Fairview Avenue. As a dedicated scholar and advocate, she has long been focused on uncovering hidden episodes of local Black history, very much including the story of Samuel and Catherine Browne.

Thanks also to professors Sara Gómez Woolley, Katherine Culkin and Linda M. Grasso of the Biography and Memoir program at the CUNY Graduate Center for their support.
