A remembrance service for activist Jeoflin Roh will be held at Langton Gardens, Thursday, August 28, at 4:00 pm.

“He was one of the initiators of the whole concept of bringing tenants together politically and organizing to have power at City Hall,” said fellow advocate Mark Ellinger. “His activism has quite literally touched pretty much everybody who lives in the central city.”
