I am Riverdale Park, MD's Ward 2 Town Council Member. Proud to be in Prince George's County with my wife Mara. Day job is SS teacher at Key Middle School.
Had an incredible meeting with the wonderful team @Riversdale1801 today about the future of the park at Lafayette and Tuckerman. We have agreed to collaborate and move forward in naming and dedicating the park after Adam Francis Plummer, enslaved at Riversdale, and his family!
On this day in 1863, Emily Plummer and her 5 youngest children woke up FREE from slavery and home with Adam Francis Plummer at Riversdale.
Excerpt: "Out of the Depths Or, The Triumph of the Cross", by Nellie Arnold Plummer, 1927 (pg 84).
We had a great Legislative Priorities meeting tonight with the Municipalities in District 22. Thank you to all of the council members, mayors and city administrators who joined us this evening. #D22#working4you
Honored to attend the District 22 legislative priorities dinner in Hyattsville tonight with @RPMdMayor and advocate on behalf of infrastructure improvements and legislation that will help make pedestrian safety a priority in PGC and the state.
As a Riverdale Community we are grieving the loss of our 2 students. So many blessing of help and support have been offered. Many have asked how they can contribute. https://t.co/MdwnYeVKnq
I want the bridge and pedestrian pathway on Riverdale Road fast tracked for completion. We need fences protecting students similar to @CollegePark_MD along Riverdale Road. We need traffic restrictions around @PGCPS_RES. The status quo cannot be accepted.
I'm devastated by the loss of two Prince George's County elementary schoolers who were struck while walking to school yesterday morning.
It's crucial that we embrace these families and the Riverdale community with love and support during this time.

Tragically, at approximately 8:00 a.m. this morning, two children were struck by a vehicle as they walked to Riverdale Elementary School. Both children died in this accident. The driver stayed at the scene.
