Yonkers, New York

[edit]

Ella Fitzgerald is missing from the list of Yonkers' Notable People.

The Wikipedia page "Ella Fitzgerald" has this information: "In the early 1920s Fitzgerald's mother and her new partner, a Portuguese immigrant named Joseph Da Silva,[2] moved to the city of Yonkers, in Westchester County, New York, as part of the first Great Migration of African Americans.[2] Initially living in a single room, her mother and Da Silva soon found jobs. Her half-sister, Frances Da Silva, was born in 1923.[3] By 1925, Fitzgerald and her family had moved to nearby School Street, then a predominantly poor Italian area.[3] She began her formal education at the age of six and proved to be an outstanding student, moving through a variety of schools before attending Benjamin Franklin Junior High School from 1929.[4]"

Recently, on April 25, 2017, the city of Yonkers celebrated the centennial birthday of Ella Fitzgerald with citywide events. A bronze statue of her likeness stands at the train station at the foot of Larkin Plaza, with the Hudson River and the Palisades in the background. Janehwb (talk) 14:41, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
