Remarkable Senior Florence Rice

37th Anniversary Celebration 

of the Canaan Senior Service Center

Sunday, September 23, 2012 at 3:00 pm.

Located, at 132 West 116th Street in Harlem, NYC

Please come out to learn your history through experience. I have found Harlem Seniors to be the most energetic and active seniors on the planet. 

It is so important that we take time to learn from them. There is no history like experience. 

Florence Rice just invited me to the event on Sunday at Canaan. She is a 93 year old consumer affairs activist. She is the founder of Harlem Consumer Education Council. She has been at the forefront for decades fighting for consumer rights. She was born in 1919 in Buffalo, New York. Her experiences read like a textbook on African American, American, and world history. She spent most of her early life in the Colored Orphan Asylum in NYC, and several foster homes. Most of her adult life has been spent in educating our people about their human and civil rights. She organized many boycotts and picket lines. She continues to advocate at 93 years old.

You can go to Youtube and find lots of video clips. She has a Public Access Television show called every other Monday. The show is called "30 Minutes with Florence Rice."
