Connections: RABJ's "Rochester Legends"

The Rochester Association of Black Journalists has produced a television documentary series and children’s book series called “Rochester Legends.” Both projects feature interviews with noted African Americans who have made significant contributions to the community over the years. The illustrated books are geared to the third grade level. They tell the stories of our guests, and their outstanding contributions to the Rochester community:

  • Dr. Walter Cooper, research scientists, humanitarian, activist, and educator
  • Dr. David Anderson, history re-enactor and community leader
  • Constance Mitchell Jefferson, Minority/Women Business Enterprise Officer for the City of Rochester, and Constance Mitchell’s daughter
  • Richard McCullough, meteorologist, president of the Rochester Association of Black Journalists, and owner of Mirusmedia
