Bilal Beasley, including his widow and Irvington Democratic Committee Chairwoman Baseemah Beasley, third from left, as well as current Council President and North Ward Councilman David Lyons, left, and the other council members, after the governing body’s regular meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 11, where it unanimously voted to accept the memorial statue of Beasley that his family donated to the township. Accepting the statue clears the way for the township to erect it outside the Municipal Building and rename Civic Square during a special ceremony scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 29.
