Center for Brooklyn History Debuts a Joe Lentol Collection

From 1972 to 2020, Joseph R. Lentol (colloquially known to many as Joe Lentol) represented Greenpoint — as well as Fort Greene and Williamsburg in District 50 — in the New York State Assembly. And now, to punctuate his nearly-50-year tenure, Brooklyn Public Library’s Center for Brooklyn History has opened a collection in his honor, the Joseph R. Lentol papers.
