Equality Forum Kickoff event: Monday, April
28th
City Hall
On Monday, April 28th, NBC10 hosted a kickoff
celebration in City Hall's Conversation room.
Our Distinguished Service Award was presented
to Dr. Patrick Burke, principal of The High School
of Economics and Finance in lower Manhattan --
just one block from the World Trade Center. On
September 11th, 2001, Dr. Burke heroically stayed
behind during the evacuation of the school, checking
each and every room insuring they were empty.
As the twin towers crashed down around him, Burke,
a Catholic, knelt down and prayed. Burke is also
openly-gay, and has a life partner.
