The resolution honors the life and contributions of Daniel Goodwin Sr., a prominent North Omaha businessman, civil rights leader, and community advocate who recently passed away at the age of 93. Goodwin was known for his commitment to equal rights, having participated in the historic March on Washington in 1963 alongside key figures of the Civil Rights Movement. He owned Goodwin's Spencer Street Barbershop, which served as a vital community hub for mentorship, conversation, and civic engagement over the years.
In recognition of Goodwin's significant impact on civil rights, small business, and the North Omaha community, the Nebraska Legislature expresses its condolences to his family and friends. The resolution concludes with a directive to send a copy of the resolution to Goodwin's family, acknowledging his legacy and contributions to the community.
