As you can see Ed and Dolores have contributed much in the past four decades to promote the dignity and worth of all persons. The award was made after a selection and recommendation of the Maplewood Human Relations Commission to the City Council which ratified the recommendation on December 28, 1987. The award will be made to Ed and Dolores at the Chamber of Commerce meeting March 24, 1988 at 12:00 noon at the Days Inn Maplewood Mall. The daughter of Ed and Dolores O'Mara and representatives of the Maplewood Human Relations Commission will also be in attendance. The award willbe presented at the beginning of the meeting and will take only a few minutes. If appropriate we would appreciate an article with accompanying picture of the presentation of the award in the Maplewood Review. IfIthere is further information I can provide please let me know. Sincerely, Scott Rostron Human Relations Commission SR:cs cc: Mike McGuire John Prey Chuck Weiger Ed O'Mara Enclosure MAPLEWiOOD HUMAN RIGHTS AWARD The first Maplewood Human Rights Award is to Ed and Dd 1ores O' Mara. As a couple they have demonstrated a commitment to pre- serving the dignity and worth of all persons which was felt ex- emp1ary and worthy of recognition. The accomplishments of the couple are many and varied and as Ed states, could not be accomplished without their mutual efforts and support. In 1950 as President of the Gladstone Community Club, Ed and Dolores convinced Florence Hughes to become editor of the com- munity newspaper. Florence and her husband Jim lived on a farm on the 'burners of County Road B and Hazelwood Street as one of the first black families in the New Canada township. When developers wanted to buy and develop Jim' s property, it was Ed who as a local government official convinced Jim to develop that property himself. Ed was instrumental in getting the lots assessed individually for improvements which helped make this possible. This neigbcrhood is now a fully developed and a beautiful part of the community. At 3M Ed hired what was then one of the first black employees in a. 3M laboratory who is still employed by 3M. Additionally Ed was instrumental while a member of the Police Civil Service Commis- sion, an office he held for 22 years, In changing the title of policeman and policewoman to police officer. Ed has been very active in the United Way and ether Social Service organizations, and recently won United Ways "unsung hero" award. Ed was a supervisor in the New Canada township, a Councilman for the village of Maplewood, and served 22 years on the Civil Serv- ice Commission which totals over 30 years of public service. Ed lead committees for the building of churches and schools in Maplewood, organized fund raising to keep Hill High School open during difficult times, and was instrumental in a merger that created Hill Murray High School. Ed has been active in the Boy Scouts of America as a volunteer since 1934, and is currently a hc,nary life member of the Indianhead Council. He has been awarded the Silver Beaver and the St. George emblem. Ed is a past board member and past vice president of the American Cancer Society, is trained in CPR, and was a speakers bureau member for the American Heart Association, and a board member for Keep Older People Employed. The above demonstrate only part of the over four decades of ef- fort and commitment Ed and Dolores as a couple to the development to Maplewood, in the furthering of human rights and human, dignity that this Human Rights Award represents. The Maplewood Human Relations Commission and the Maplewood City Council are proud to recognize Ed and Dolores O' Mara as reci pents of the first Human Rights Award. w 11 c 8mm 0g ° 4 CC 0 W 3 Co0 F. r ,,,, ¢¢z s C f 0 '4),moi-a gp , R.,' P I ate ,w 3 0. 4-y '03 •p Qa t"'•fig. 13 Z f ti ,= 0 pyo J 4 w 67 .f9 S O V•N W.R ›,.-r. .-0 taE o A0 . ,,.'° ,,_,0 a 0<s.0 m 0 g m Cctt €.i b6731-" 03° 2 o O,ty-W.0 I p p y AoII m E+^a 0•i.) as d 1 oj' - cCa.
