                    <text>Tom Oliveri (b.1946 - d. 2014)
Tom Olivieri, was born in Mayaguez Puerto Rico and immigrated to the city when he was ten
years old during the1950s and was raised in what was known as the “Tootsie Roll Flats” at
Willow Avenue and 13th Street. Tom’s family was one of the first Puerto Rican families to move
to his Willow Avenue block.
A “legendary” tenants’ rights activist Tom, who fought against the wide-spread displacement of
poor residents during the 1970s. He worked in the relocation office of the city from 1975 to
1979, helping educate families on their best options to stay in the city during a period where the
city’s poorest residents were actively being displaced.
A tenants' rights activist and later a Cultural Affairs official for the City of Hoboken, Mr. Olivieri
has long been a center of cultural and civic activities in Hoboken's broad-ranging Hispanic
community.
In 2023 Legion Park on 13th Street and Willow Ave was renamed after him. For its opening his
granddaughter Isabella Puro said of her grandfather, “He was passionate about making sure
everyone was treated fairly... It’s something he instilled in my aunts and uncles, and me and my
cousins: to always do the right thing.”

              <text>Tom Olivieri, was born in Mayaguez Puerto Rico and immigrated to the city when he was ten years old during the1950s and was raised in what was known as the “Tootsie Roll Flats” at Willow Avenue and 13th Street. Tom’s family was one of the first Puerto Rican families to move to his Willow Avenue block. &#13;
&#13;
A “legendary” tenants’ rights activist Tom, who fought against the wide-spread displacement of poor residents during the 1970s. He worked in the relocation office of the city from 1975 to 1979, helping educate families on their best options to stay in the city during a period where the city’s poorest residents were actively being displaced. &#13;
&#13;
A tenants' rights activist and later a Cultural Affairs official for the City of Hoboken, Mr. Olivieri has long been a center of cultural and civic activities in Hoboken's broad-ranging Hispanic community. &#13;
&#13;
In 2023 Legion Park on 13th Street and Willow Ave was renamed after him. For its opening his granddaughter Isabella Puro said of her grandfather, “He was passionate about making sure everyone was treated fairly... It’s something he instilled in my aunts and uncles, and me and my cousins: to always do the right thing."</text>

Sylvia Rivera (Shadow9311@aol.com)

What year did your family migrate to Hoboken? Did they come directly to
Hoboken or did they go somewhere else first?
My dad Victor Vargas Perez arrived in Manhattan sometime during the mid
1940’s, during which time he made several trips to Puerto Rico to spend precious
time with his lovely wife and little ones until 1953 when he was able to bring them
to Manhattan. He left the four older children with their maternal grandparents until
he was able to secure a four-room apartment in Hoboken. In May of 1954 our
family was finally reunited.
Where did you/your family live in Puerto Rico prior to coming to Hoboken?
Our family lived in the barrio of Sabana Alta in Cabo Rojo.
Why did you/your family come to Hoboken?
Victor (dad) wanted to give his children a fair chance at life, so when a good
friend suggested he move the family across the Hudson to Hoboken he jumped
at the offer. The square mile city offered the best options: family oriented, ample
employment opportunities, and easy access into New York City either by the #93
bus into the Port Authority or the ferry into downtown, among other advantages.
Where did you/your family live in Hoboken?
We lived on 1215 Willow Avenue. An ex-military Edgar Torres also Puerto Rican
lived and worked as superintendent of the complex.

�Where did you/your family work in Hoboken?
Dad worked at the Tootsie Roll Company on 14th Street during the day and on
weekend nights crooned with his brother Luis and cronies throughout the five
New York boroughs. They had started a band in Puerto Rico and soon reunited in
NYC to make ends meet. Our mom Carmen Santiago worked across the street in
the sweater company as quality controller. Both Mrs. Freeman, the owner, and
her son Solomon quickly embraced mom’s work ethic and became very fond of
her.
Were you welcomed by the people of Hoboken when you arrived? At work,
school, church, etc.?
My first experience was rather interesting. While my siblings chose to go out the
front door of the building as soon as we arrived from the airport, I went out to the
backyard. I went down the two flights of stairs and pushed the heavy brown metal
door open. A long open corridor and the coolest breeze welcomed me and led
me to the courtyard where four blond little girls (I referred to them later as Shirley
Temples) were jumping rope. Try as I did to get them to invite me, they wouldn’t
give me the time of day and resorted instead to what sounded to me as “go away,
you’re not welcomed here.” I quickly got the message and clicking my new black
patent shoes like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, turned around and went back
inside.
Our first floor neighbor Elsa had predetermined that most, if not all Puerto
Ricans, were black or brown and she was in shock to find out we fair-skinned
children were Puerto Rican.
Other than those two incidents, I have pleasant memories of my childhood. My
second grade teacher, Mrs. Grassman, liked me very much and was very
instrumental in how I turned out in life.
One time she was so proud of a composition I wrote she had me go from
classroom to classroom, a broad smile on her face, as I read my composition in
front of the class.

�Were there conflicts amongst Puerto Ricans and other people in Hoboken
throughout your life?
Yes, there were some conflicts among them. Basically, parents protected their
children from bullies and such. I remember one incident where our dad engaged
in some type of confrontation with Eddie the super over a basement woodshed.
Every tenant had access to a woodshed for extra storage.
As a singer who rode the subway late at night with bigger amounts of money
from his gigs, dad carried a gun for his own personal protection. As children we
never saw the gun, but mom told us he had one. One Saturday afternoon, mom
says, he took the gun and hid it nicely in the pocket of his coat. He was
supposedly going mano a mano with a rival. Fortunately, he returned safely back
home as did the other man.
Another time it was an Italian neighbor who exchanged words with dad. Suffice it
to say, that’s all it was.
Who helped you when you came to Hoboken?
When we first arrived in Hoboken, the Lugo family of two girls of mine and my
sister’s age, and Charlie, their brother, took us under their wings, so to speak.
They immediately made us feel welcomed in our new home. The older girl gave
my sister and me our first manicures and walked with us on our first day of
school.
What was it like growing up in Hoboken?
It was wonderful growing up in Hoboken. We were like one large family, where
everyone looked out for one another.
One hot August day we were hanging out on the docks, the girls legs hanging
above the water, while the boys swam out to the ships, when a frightening cry for
help was heard. One of my older brother’s friend had suddenly been seized by
cramps, thereby going under water rapidly. Without hesitation, my brother
quickly dove back out to his friend, but by the time he reached the point of cries,

�the boy had disappeared, his body never to be found, until weeks after when it
surfaced like a balloon. To this day, I will remember the pain and horror we felt as
we walked home as in a funeral procession, children drinking their tears and
snots.
There were other similar stories.
