Local neighborhood columnists have been abolished.
Why?
Black History Month coverage of our local African-American Civil Rights heroes and sheroes -- almost nonexistent.
Why?
Today was the last day of Black History Month. No apology from the Record for what previous owners did in 1964.
Why?
If the Lexington, Ky. Herald-Leader could do it, covering past coverups of civil rights issues as news, why not the Record?
But the Record still runs rebarbative racist Ann Coulter, and other outside columnists.
Why?
And the Record is now printing syndicated cartoonists, instead of rehiring Hall and MacGregor, Florida cartoonists with flair and panache.
Why?
Morris Communications, please answer in this space.
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!
