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!

IT'S ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY IN A BEAUTIFUL PLACE -- KEEP WORKING FOR CIVIL RIGHTS MUSEUM, NATIONAL PARK AND SEASHORE
Anastasia State Park by artist Linda Blondheim
(Anastasia State Park would be among some ten state parks included in the St. Augustine National Historical Park and Seashore).
The New York Times is correcting its ethnocentric errors on St. Augustine, Florida. See below.
It's another beautiful day in a beautiful place, and things are moving toward getting a National Civil Rights Museum and St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. This will unite our community, grow our economy, and preserve protect our environmental and historic heritage forever.
The "temple-destroyers" have no credibility. There are more of us than there are of them. Their tea party naifs are no match for the wonderful work of our National Park Service.
As Margaret Mead said it best, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
America's Founders knew it.
Let's live it.
Carpe diem. (Enjoy the day).
