Ramone E. Wilson has been appointed as the first full-time Executive Director of the Sullivan County Human Rights Commission. A native of Newark, New Jersey, Wilson brings a wide range of experience in community advocacy, housing rights, and the arts — including a career in music where he toured with world-famous artists like Wyclef Jean, Mary J. Blige, and Toni Braxton.
Speaking with Radio Catskill’s Patricio Robayo, Wilson shared how his upbringing in a diverse city like Newark shaped his passion for human rights work. “Growing up, I learned to appreciate people from all walks of life,” he said. “It taught me respect, acceptance, and the value of community.”
Wilson outlined his early priorities for the Commission: rebuilding public trust, expanding education about residents’ rights, addressing housing discrimination, and taking a proactive approach to consumer affairs. He emphasized that mediation will be a cornerstone of his work, aiming to resolve conflicts before they escalate.
“Most issues arise from misunderstanding, not malice,” Wilson explained. “By sitting down and talking, we can often find solutions before it has to go further.”
Wilson also acknowledged the national debate around diversity, equity, and inclusion but said he remains committed to ensuring Sullivan County remains a welcoming place for everyone.
Residents can reach Wilson at the Sullivan County Government Center in Monticello, by phone at 845-807-0189, or via email at Ramone.Wilson@sullivanny.gov.
“I’m here to listen, to support, and to build real connections across the county,” he said.
This guy is a fraud. He’s doesn’t have an empathetic bone in his body. I can’t believe you guys didn’t complete your due diligence and throughly complete a background check or employee verification. He’s a liar. He lied about his involvement in the community and work history. Mark my words you guys will realize soon enough.
I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside him and have personally seen the dedication, integrity, and hard work he brings to the community every day. His commitment to advocating for others and supporting meaningful initiatives has had a real and positive impact on many people and organizations. I’m proud to stand by the work he continues to do
Sad world we live in when people troll and lie without any facts to prove their statements.
How can such a divisive, immature person be a human rights commissioner? Bill Liblick runs two of the most hate filled, divisive Facebook groups. He encourages bullying, hate speech and harassment of those who oppose him. He has banned many individuals for having view that are contrary to his. He is less than civil in his discourse. He once posted a very vicious bullying attack of a mother April whose son died of an overdose.
How can he be a champion of human rights? His own website touts him as the mouth that roars citing his straightforward offensive attack journalistic style. He should be removed and censored, but that probably won’t happen because many politicians use his foul mouth to speak for them in a way that would cause them scrutiny.
