Remembering Elaine Peters

The PAR community has lost a beloved ally with the passing of Elaine Peters, local dancer and drummer. She had an exuberance that could get the most reluctant person joining in her conga line. Local groups were fortunate to have her on their organizing committees through the years, including Community Kwanzaa Association of New Haven (of which she was the president and founder), Mothers and Others for Justice, Sisters with a New Attitude (SWANA) and the May Day Celebration Committee.
