Courtney Caesar Hall passed away peacefully at his childhood home on April 29, 2021.
He was the greatest of human beings, who lived a life that read like many lifetimes. Courtney was an exceptional professional football player. He played for eight years as a starting offensive lineman for the NFL’s San Diego Chargers, captaining the team in its first-ever Super Bowl appearance. Courtney was a four-time NFL Pro Bowler who was inducted into the Southwest Conference Hall of Fame, and honored with the Gerald R. Ford Legends Award, among many other honors. While Courtney’s accomplishments as an athlete were many, they fail to define him fully. Courtney was indeed many things. He was a scholar, philanthropist, entrepreneur, teacher, and strategist or, as he would say, “the idea guy.”

In New York City, where more than 3 million people went to the polls last year, voters under 30 comprised the largest uptick in turnout of any age group, according to a new report to be released Friday from the New York City Campaign Finance Board.
Despite all the challenges posed by the pandemic, the youngest city voters turned out at a higher rate in the 2020 general election than they have in nearly a decade, a promising direction for those looking to get more New Yorkers voting, of all ages.
