on the passing of Dr. Robert Brundage
The Greater Toledo Urban League, for sale its Board of Directors, look Staff and Volunteers mourn the passing of Dr. Robert Brundage. An educator, environmentalist, community activist, community leader, musician and champion of children and the underserved, his passing will create a stark void in the Toledo community. He was always active and visible, serving on a plethora of boards and working tirelessly within many community organizations. Everyone that had opportunity to meet and engage in dialogue with Dr. Brundage could feel not only his passion for people, but his desire to see Toledo become a thriving community of equality, social justice, educational excellence and economic vitality.
It pains us at the Urban League how Dr. Brundage met this tragic end. Without question, the young man that attacked Dr. Brundage, at age 15, should be held accountable for his actions. However, this one act leaves open the door that yet again exposes greater issues that must be addressed. Make no mistake; the answer is not as simple as “he was a bad kid”. We as a community must dig deeper to address and confront the areas of dysfunction that surround our youth, from families to institutions to individuals.
We at the Urban League welcome the discussion around helping and empowering our youth to make positive choices, manage their situations, and model behavior that ends in transformational change within this community. Let us use the example of Dr. Brundage’s life as a springboard that creates a lasting impact on the lives of all Toledoans, particularly its youth.
