Anne Pyburn offers a tribute to two recently deceased local activists in this month's issue of Chronogram. First, Dara Greenwald taught and curated art exhibits, focusing on visual representations of radical culture. She and her partner Josh Macphee organized a traveling exhibit called “Signs of Change: Social Movement Culture, 1960s to Now," that premiered at Exit Art, New York in 2008, before traveling to several other venues.

Also, Gale McGovern was active in the gay rights movement in New York in the 1970s. After moving to Ulster County in 1982, she founded several organizations and led others including WEB (Women Escaping Batterers), the Coalition for Lesbian and Gay Youth, the Coalition for an Ulster County Human Rights Law, Friends of Comadres, People Against Racism, the Ulster County Global Warming Project.
