Mayor Jimmy Davis announced that a rededication ceremony will take place at Dr. David Morris Park in Bayonne at 47th Street and Broadway on Thursday, October 27, 2022 at 6:00 p.m.  Earlier this year, renovations were completed at the park, which was named after Dr. Morris, a physician and civil rights activist in Bayonne for six decades.  A graduate of Lincoln University and the University of Vermont Medical School, Dr. Morris moved to Bayonne in 1926.  He served as President of the Bayonne Branch of the NAACP and President of the Medical Staff at Bayonne Hospital.  Dr. Morris led efforts to open up Bayonne businesses to Black customers who had been excluded.
