FORMER CROTON RESIDENT & CONSERVATIVE WRITER ABIGAIL THERNSTROM HAS DIED

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON. 

One of the great writers of our time. 

Abigail Thernstrom (September 14, 1936 – April 10, 2020) was an American political scientist and a leading conservative scholar on race relations, voting rights and education. She was an adjunct scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, a Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, a member of the Massachusetts Board of Education, and vice chair of the United States Commission on Civil Rights. She received her Ph.D. from the Department of Government at Harvard University in 1975. Raised on a collective farm in Croton-on-Hudson, New York, by radical secular Jewish parents, she was originally active in progressive politics and became politically conservative in middle age, supporting a color-blind philosophy and taking steps to provide equal opportunity through improving education while becoming increasingly critical of affirmative action, gerrymandering, and identity politics.
