Fattah Mourns the Death of a Powerful Local Activist

WASHINGTON, March 25, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "Philadelphia has lost a powerful and influential civic leader.  Passionate and persuasive, Novella Williams didn't take no for an answer.  She was a powerhouse moving residents and civic leaders to engage in programs that created safer neighborhoods, provided economic development and support for educational opportunities for students.

"Ms. Williams was focused and direct in her drive to better the community and uncompromising in her method to get the job done.  Those traits opened doors and created opportunities that benefitted thousands of local residents.

"Philadelphia is better and communities are stronger because of the commitment of Novella Williams.  She will be missed but leaves a legacy of empowerment that will be felt for years to come."
