Auspicious beginning of a series on St. Augustine's role in enactment of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, with a beautiful photo of my friend Barbara Vickers in front of Foot Soldiers Monument. As LBJ said after Selma, "We SHALL overcome."

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!
