Goosby, Dorothy L, c.1939- . Collection, 1980-2008. 19.0 cubic feet Hempstead Town Councilwoman Dorothy L. Goosby made history when she was elected to the Town Board on November 2, 1999. She is one of the first Democrats elected since 1905 and is the first African American woman to serve on the Town Board. In 1988 Councilwoman Goosby and others filed a class action suit against the Town of Hempstead stating that the Town’s at-large voting system for the Town Board discriminated against the minority community. In 1997 a Federal Judge agreed and ruled that the Town of Hempstead’s method of voting at large was discriminatory and violated the Voting Rights Act. While Councilwoman Goosby’s professional accomplishments are noteworthy, she is most recognized for her ongoing community efforts in Nassau County and the Town of Hempstead. As Councilwoman she has initiated community meetings and Town Board evening meetings in Town Hall Pavilion that provide access and opportunity for more residents to participate in government than ever before, and her class-action suit against the Town of Hempstead changed Hempstead’s voting system at large and was a turning point in Voting Rights on Long Island. This collection includes a variety of information, such as: correspondence and memoranda from 1986-2000, between Dorothy Goosby, law firms, and people of interest; statistical research on relevant issues that pertain to the court case separated by subject from1950 to1988; analysis for the case including documentation of a variety of different racial information and papers conducted by individuals from 1982-1990; depositions of witnesses and professionals from 1982-1990, along with trial transcripts from 1996 that give accounts of events that happened within the case; Supreme Court cases from 1986-1999 and Court of Appeals cases from 1995-1999 that include documentation discussing court procedures and requests; Court documents from 1980-2000 that cover different orders and requests that were bought up throughout the case; research used for the trial from 1973-1995, arranged by topic; election results from 1988-1994 and the Annual report of Education County of Nassau reports from 19721984; election canvasses and statements of votes arranged chronologically from 1965-1991; Plaintiffs’ and Defendants’ exhibits from the 1996 trial; various census documentation and statistics from 1980-1992, including population census, housing census, and racial census; Court citations from 1959-1999 that helped Goosby and the Court support their cases; fees and costs of
