by C. Zawadi Morris – Patch

To be featured in exhibit “Crown Heights Gold” from July 28 – Sept 30, 2011, at the Skylight Gallery in Restoration Plaza.

Nearly two decades have passed since the death of seven-year-old Gavin Cato, the son of Guyanese immigrants. In August 1991, Cato was walking down President Street in Crown Heights when 22-year-old Yosef Lifsh, who was driving as a part of the three-car motorcade of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson—then-leader of the Chabad Lubavitch Hasidic sect—accidentally hit the car in front of him and then veered off onto the sidewalk, striking little Cato and ending his life.
