Went to reception and program last night and lunch, reading and ecumenical singing and praying today and tonight with six of the sixteen rabbis arrested with Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on June 18, 1964 here in St. Augustine, Florida. More later.
Here's their letter, written from the St. Johns County Jail:

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!
