St. Augustine City Commissioners Monday voted to apologize for past racial injustice wrongs. See article below. I first proposed something like it in April 2005. Thank you for listening, Commissioners.
As Commissioner Jones’ original, unexpurgated resolution said (in the immortal words Matt Damon said to Robin Williams in "Good Will Hunting"), "Let the Healing Begin."
In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!
