One Brooklyn

BROOKLYN, NY, July 21, 2016: For decades, Dr. Lamuel Stanislaus was a bulwark of public service. He served as an ambassador to the United Nations for his home country of Grenada throughout the 1990s and was a respected figure in Brooklyn’s Caribbean community, serving on the board of the Caribbean American Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (CACCI). He was a brainchild behind one of New York City’s largest parades, the West Indian Labor Day Parade, and for decades also practiced dentistry in Brooklyn.
Dr. Stanislaus’ advocacy on behalf of the Caribbean-American community was immeasurable, and his presence will be sorely missed in our borough by all Brooklynites who care about community development and public service.
I extend my deepest condolences to his family and friends during this difficult time.
