Rising to the rank of Deputy Speaker in New York State’s Assembly, Arthur O. Eve blazed a trail that opened new opportunities for underrepresented and marginalized communities.

Through his efforts and tireless devotion to truth, equality, and justice, he uplifted countless individuals while likewise inspiring people of all ages, especially the young, to stand up and fight for each other. For those of us he championed, mentored, and emboldened, we are eternally grateful for all that Mr. Eve did.

His legacy will impact the world for generations to come.
