From NAACP Co-Founder to Black Millennial Homeowner

On a mild morning in Forest Hill, sunlight strikes the south-facing breakfast nook at 54 Abington Avenue at an angle that feels deliberate, almost engineered. Framed in 1875, the residence stands as an asymmetrical mass of rusticated brownstone, Roman brick, and steep late-Victorian gables. In the front yard, an autumn cherry blossom has all but a few leaves left to fall, alongside an apple tree. Inside the kitchen, 34-year-old commercial real estate professional Terrell Simmons stands watching the light pool across the restored floorboards.

Jewish man sues officials over 2024 synagogue brawl

A Jewish man who was pardoned after being accused of assaulting a pro-Palestinian protester outside a New Jersey synagogue in 2024 sued a slew of local officials over the matter on Nov. 10. The lawsuit centers on a November 2024 protest outside Congregation Ohr Torah in West Orange, New Jersey. Several dozen anti-Israel demonstrators gathered to protest a real estate fair promoting living in Israel, but it turned into a brawl , with clashes between activists and worshipers. Moshe Glick was charged in part with assaulting protester Altaf Sharif, though he has maintained that he was defending another Jewish man being attacked, David Silberberg. Then-New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy pardoned Glick before leaving office in January. Among other claims, Glick's lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey accuses officials – including the Essex County Prosecutor's Office, the Township of West Orange, and West Orange Police Department personnel – of failing to protect the synagogue and its worshipers despite having advance notice of the demonstration, and of continuing to investigate him despite the pardon.
