NEW HAVEN - Reginald Mayo was superintendent of schools when the late Jeffie Frazier was principal of Helene W. Grant School, yet he always wore his best shirt and tie when he visited the school he didn’t want to catch any flack for not looking good enough.
“She was a no-nonsense type of person,” Mayo, now retired, said of the late Frazier. “Jeffie didn’t work for me - I worked for her. … Working for Jeffie, I became a better person, superintendent.”

NEW HAVEN, Conn. The New Haven Police say they had a plan in place to respond to any potential unrest the Derek Chauvin trial verdict may bring the city. But, a local minister, who is the adversary of the mayor, is skeptical.
Rev. Dr. Boise Kimber, who heads up the New Haven Clergy Association, says preparations for the Chauvin verdict were simply a one-man show, meaning Mayor Justin Elicker. Instead of talking to community leaders, instead of talking to Alder persons, instead of talking to politicians, said Kimber, long a supporter of former Mayor Toni Harp.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. The New Haven Police Department has opened a use of force investigation following an incident Friday afternoon in which a White police officer punched, and pepper-sprayed a Black New Haven businessman, who was being evicted from a downtown office building.
New Haven police body camera footage shows officers trying to handcuff 52-year-old Shawn Marshall inside the building lobby after he refused to leave following over an hour of negotiating after he was being evicted.
“I think it’s very important in the Black and brown community to see a spiritual leader, a pastor, educated on the vaccination in order to give out the information,” said Steele.
Community groups in New Haven are reaching out to those who are hesitant or just have questions about the vaccine.
“There’s a long dark history around vaccines and testing that there’s fear, so we want to talk about really the facts around it, we want to address the fear,” said Dori Dumas, the president of the Greater New Haven Branch of the NAACP.
The group will host an information session on Facebook Tuesday evening, in partnership with Yale New Haven Hospital, to answer those questions and more about health equity and advocating for access.
