FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Patricia Greaney Oransky passed away on April 21, 2021 at the age of 91. Born in Portland and raised on Munjoy Hill, Patricia graduated from Portland High School in 1947 and was awarded the Brown Medal, given to just five girls and five boys in her Senior class.
In 1946 she met Richard Oransky at a summer dance on the Eastern Prom, and thus began a unique romance that lasted 66 years until Richard’s death in 2012. Patricia was Catholic and Richard was Jewish, a relatively common relationship in today’s world but very controversial in 1940’s Maine. They received little support from their families, but persisted and married in 1949 at City Hall with just two witnesses at their side.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. From youth-led marches in Hong Kong to demonstrations in Russia in support of Alexei Navalny, nonviolent actions are being used to strengthen democracy in the face of authoritarianism. Srdja Popovic has more than 20 years of experience participating in and advising nonviolent movements around the world and argues that success is often driven by a concept he’s come to define as “dilemma action.”
Popovic is the recipient of the McCourtney Institute for Democracy’s Brown Democracy Medal; he will receive the award and present a public lecture at a virtual awards ceremony on March 25 at 4 p.m. ET. The ceremony is free and open to the public.
