Brooklyn street to be co-named
after late Grenadian envoy
By Nelson A. King
Brooklyn Councilman Dr. Mathieu
Eugene says he’s hosting the co-naming
of a street in Brooklyn in honor the
late Grenada Ambassador to the United
Nations, Dr. Lamuel Stanislaus.
Dr. Eugene, the Haitian-born representative
for the predominantly Caribbean
40th Council District in Brooklyn,
said on Wednesday that he will host on
Saturday morning the street co-naming
ceremony for “Dr. Lamuel A. Stanislaus
Way” in his district, at Rutland
Road, between Flatbush and Bedford
Avenues.
“I will be joined by the family of Dr.
Stanislaus, distinguished leaders and
prominent members of the community,
as we pay tribute to his remarkable life
and legacy,” Dr. Eugene said.
Dr. Stanislaus died on Sept. 18, 2016
barely five months after he was recognized
by then United States President
Barack Obama and US First Lady
Michelle Obama, as “a part of our great
American story.” He was 95.
Dr. Stanislaus, who was knighted by
Queen Elizabeth II, died at a hospice in
Manhattan Beach in Brooklyn, where
he was taken to, from his Brooklyn
home.
Shortly after celebrating his 95th
birthday on April 22, 2016, Sir Lamuel
had told Caribbean Life that he was
“suffering with the ravages of cancer of
the prostrate and cancer of the bones.”
Derek Ventour – the Brooklyn-based,
Grenadian-born entertainment producer,
who was instrumental in Sir Lamuel
receiving US Presidential and Congressional
Lamuel Stanislaus, chairman of the
delegation of Grenada, addresses
the 59th session of the United Nations
General Assembly, Thursday,
Sept. 30, 2004.

recognitions, at the behest
of Brooklyn Congresswoman Yvette
D. Clarke, the daughter of Jamaican
immigrants, and New York State recognition
– told Caribbean Life that
had approached Dr. Eugene to host the
renaming of the Brooklyn street in Sir
Lamuel’s honor.
“He was a great motivator to many;
he was the greatest treasure we’ve lost
in our community,” Ventour said. “He
was an inspiration to many. He was a
fixture – one of our pillars. He was a
scholar, a gentleman and a great conversationalist.
