The evening’s hostess was Kate Clinton and she was joined by former New York City Mayor Dinkins, who introduced Ms. Quinn, and civil rights activist and new Manhattanite David Mixner, who introduced Mr. Cunningham. Executive Director Matt Foreman gave an impassioned speech that emphasized the uniqueness of NGLTF’s approach and the vital nature of its work.
