Personal details | |
Alma mater | Yale Law School Harvard University |
Nelson Antonio Denis represented East Harlem, otherwise known as El Barrio or Spanish Harlem in the New York State Assembly.
Through his use of the 1975 Home Mortgage Disclosure Act and the 1977 Community Reinvestment Act, he ended the "Berlin Wall of Bank Lending" to minority communities throughout New York, and created the national model for CRA advocacy.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
Early life
Denis was born and raised in New York City.[9] After graduating from Harvard University and Yale Law School, he was an attorney with the New York firm of Donovan, Leisure, Newton & Irvine.[10]
Journalism
Throughout his legal and political career he published feature articles, book and film reviews, and editorials in the Harvard Political Review,[11] Daily News,[12][13][14] New York Newsday,[15] The New York Sun [16] and El Diario La Prensa.[17] As the Editorial Director for El Diario La Prensa, he published over 300 editorials and won the 1991 Best Editorial Writing Award from the National Association of Hispanic Journalists. [citation needed]
Public life
Denis was involved in New York State politics for fourteen years. In 1996 he won a seat in the New York State Assembly, where he served as a Democrat from 1997 to 2000.[10] He was also a New York State Democratic District Leader from 1995 to 2000. During that time he stopped 200 evictions,[18] resolved over 4,000 constituent matters, and secured $12 million in state funds for his Assembly district.[19][20][21]
His advocacy on behalf of senior citizens and against insurance fraud, compelled the return of $2 million to seniors and working families.[22][23]
Community Reinvestment Act
Through his Community Reinvestment Act legislation, public hearings, CRA testimony throughout New York State, and advocacy on the Assembly Banking Committee, Denis persuaded banks to double their lending to home owners and small business persons in East Harlem, the Bronx, and other distressed areas throughout New York State.[1][2][3][4][5][6][24][8]
Denis cemented these gains by invoking the 1975 Federal Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA), and conducting a census tract study of CRA compliance in the 68th Assembly District and other underserved communities.[6][25][8] This use of CRA and HMDA legislation, combined with computer census tract analysis, is now the model for CRA advocacy throughout the United States.[1][2][3][4][5][6][26][8]
In recognition of this work, Denis was repeatedly endorsed by The New York Times, Daily News (New York), The Village Voice, El Diario La Prensa, Citizens Union, and the Gotham Gazette.[27][28][29][30] He was named the New Yorker of the Week by news channel NY1 (New York One) in August, 1994. In 2001 Denis left the New York State legislature, and wrote and directed his first feature film.[31][32][33]
Vote For Me!
Nelson Denis wrote and directed the feature film Vote for Me!, a political comedy about a 75-year old Puerto Rican superintendent who runs for U.S. Congress. The film stars Malik Yoba, Ángel Salazar, and Ricardo Barber and is based on Denis's own experiences.
Vote for Me! premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. It won the Best Picture Award at the 2009 Staten Island Film Festival, and a Best Feature Film Award at the 2009 Orlando Hispanic Film Festival.[34][35]
The film received national coverage from a number of media outlets.[31][32][33][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48]
