A new honor for locally born hero Mary Walker –- the unveiling of a U.S. quarter bearing her likeness –- will take place live on NewsChannel 9 locally, or on other ABC affiliates and online, during Good Morning America’s spinoff “GMA3: What You Need to Know,” which airs at 1 p.m. on Thursday, July 20.
Born in Oswego Town, Walker is the namesake of the university’s health center, the only woman to receive the U.S. Congressional Medal of Honor and a noted pioneer in social issues, particularly related to women’s rights.
