On Monday, July 31, 2017, the City of Milwaukee Common Council honored the late Dr. Irene Bishop Goggans in a special recognition ceremony at Milwaukee City Hall. Dr. Goggans was honored with a commendatory resolution, which was presented to her son, Kenneth Goggans. "Ms. Goggans was a treasure to the community, her knowledge of Milwaukee's African American history was unparalleled. Without her contributions, we would have many untold stories, and gaps in our history, and a missed opportunity for our legacy to be passed down to the next generations," said Alderwoman Chantia Lewis (District 9), who represents Dr. Goggans' district and was a personal friend with her. Pictured at the resolution ceremony are the Milwaukee Common Council, Dr. Goggans' son and grandchildren, as well as other family members and members of her church family. Dr. Goggans will be dearly missed by the city of Milwaukee!
