Ms. Brooks passed away in February 2016, so we asked Commissioner Elaine Lucas for a quote in her memory.Commission Lucas says, “Delores Brooks was a strong force and a committed advocate for the people. She always put citizens first. I learned a lot from her and was proud to sponsor the resolution to change the East Macon Park to Delores A. Brooks Recreation Center.”
We’re proud to celebrate Ms. Brooks’ legacy for the first day of Women’s History Month 2021 in Macon-Bibb.
