Alice Green’s Legacy, According to Husband Charles Touhey

As part of observance of Black August, we wanted to highlight the legacy of the late Dr. Alice Green who was a moving force on criminal and racial justice issues in the Capital District and statewide, including her successful advocacy to end the death penalty in New York. She died two years ago in August 2024. We are joined by her husband, Charles Touhey, who is prominent Albany-based entrepreneur, philanthropist, and community builder with a long history of advancing housing equity, education, and renewable energy initiatives. Mark Dunlea, with ties to Alice and Charles, does this interview.
