About The Elm City Freddy Fixer Parade – Originating in 1962, the Freddy Fixer Parade is nationally recognized as one of the oldest Black American parade in the northeast. As such, it is incumbent upon our community to honor this distinctive heritage and to always remember to continue to pay homage to the founders, the late Dr. Frederick F. Smith, Edna Carnegie-Baker, and Dr. Charles Twyman. Their vision is one of collective solidarity toward the common goal of neighborhood beautification that culminates into a yearly celebration through the Elm City Freddy Fixer Parade. Securing our own legacy through this consistent, constructive and harmonious display of our cultural norms, values and ethics will be the impetus that conveys the story of our history we want told for many generations to come.

Sisters’ Journey Celebrates – ROXANNE L. TOWLER
Read her inspiring story (thanks www.sistersjourney.org)
My name is Roxanne L. Towler. During a normal routine mammogram, I received a suspicious result on January 21, 2021 and was referred for a biopsy which was scheduled for February 12, 2021.
On that day, which was a Friday, I was preliminarily diagnosed with breast cancer at 10:00 a.m. This was an hour before my husband of 4 1/2 months died in my arms of a massive heart attack in the men’s department of Macy’s.
At 57 1/2 years of age, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, Stage 1A. I had my left nipple removed during a lumpectomy on Tuesday, March 30, 2021. This would have been the first time and the first day I would have had a chance to celebrate my belated husband’s birthday.
I met my belated husband online during the pandemic on March 28, 2020. We then met in person on April 5, 2020 and married on September 19, 2020. We were never apart but one night until he died.
My surgery was followed by four weeks of radiation. During my last session of radiation, the technicians played “Roxanne” by Sting as I entered the radiation chamber. I am now 4 1/2 years cancer free!
All my biological family members reside out of state. A few of my belated husband’s last words were that he would see me through it all.
Little did I know what that would look like.
His mother, maternal uncle and his maternal cousin became my family at marriage and my support system throughout my treatments. Each one took turns driving me to radiation and my daughter flew in from Los Angeles to see me through the surgery.
I was an assistant dean at that time and my faculty donated six weeks of their sick time to me in the event I did not have enough sick time banked. I am blessed.
Thanks be to God!!!!
