The Citizen is perhaps the

best local newspaper and has done a better job covering African-American-

or NAACP-sponsored events than other local newspapers. I commend you for

that!

On the other hand, I am a lifelong

Georgian with vivid personal memories of disparate treatment of African-Americans

since the civil rights era. While I remain eternally optimistic about

increased future coverage of African-American or NAACP events, I have

come to realistically expect less than equal treatment for anything that

has to do with African-American people.

Furthermore, I fully expect

to be attacked by those who think that African-Americans should stay in

their place and not speak out to demand equal treatment. So far, all of

my expectations have surely been met!
