Grace
4. The W. R. Grace Company was founded by, yes, a man named
W. R. Grace. He was Irish and it was a shipping enterprise he
brought to New York in 1865. Energetic and ambitious, while
his company grew on one side, he was getting civically involved
on the other. Fifteen years after arriving, he was elected Mayor
of New York City. Five years after that, he personally accepted
a gift from a delegation representing the people of France. It
was the Statue of Liberty.
The W. R. Grace Company was founded by, yes, a man named
W. R. Grace. He was Irish and it was a shipping enterprise he
brought to New York in 1865. Energetic and ambitious, while
his company grew on one side, he was getting civically involved
on the other. Fifteen years after arriving, he was elected Mayor
of New York City. Five years after that, he personally accepted
a gift from a delegation representing the people of France. It
was the Statue of Liberty.
In 1945, grandson J. Peter Grace took control of the now
worldwide shipping company. A decade later, it became a
publicly traded corporation on the New York Stock Exchange.
The business began shifting from shipping to chemical
production.
By the 1980s, W. R. Grace had become a chemical and materials
company, and it had come to light that one of its plants had
been pouring toxins into the soil and water underneath the small
town of Woburn, Massachusetts. The poisons worked their way
into the town’s water supply and then into the townspeople. It
caused leukemia in newborns. Lawsuits in civil court, and later
investigations by the Environmental Protection Agency, cost the
corporation millions. J. Peter Grace retired as CEO in 1992.
After forty-eight years on the job, he’d become the longest-
reigning CEO in the history of public companies. During that
time, he also served as president of the Grace Institute.
5. The nonfiction novel A Civil Action came out in 1996. The
best-selling, award
winning chronicle of the Woburn disaster soon became a
Hollywood movie. The movie, starring John Travolta, continues
to appear on television with some regularity. To honor the
Grace Institute, October 28 was designated “Grace Day” by
New York City in 2009. On that day, the institute defined its
mission this way: “In the tradition of its founding family, Grace
Institute is dedicated to the development of the personal and
business skills necessary for self-sufficiency, employability,
and an improved quality of life.” “Our Mission,” Grace
Institute, accessed June 1, 2011,
