Reply #38: Bob Koehler has written a stunning column -- it will be released tomorrow [View All]

[Fly by night]

As soon as his column is released to the (Chicago) Tribune Media Services syndicate newspapers tomorrow, I will post the column here. It is a wonderfully powerful piece and honors all of us who "showed up" in Nashville. Look for it tomorrow (Thursday) and call your local newspapers to ask that they contact the Tribune Media Services syndicate about running the column.

I just got off the phone with one of our local Black leaders who spoke at the "Nash-ional" conference. He and I are going to try to get the National Newspaper Publishing Association (a consortium of over 200 Black-owned newspapers around the country) to publish Bob's piece and to interview Bob about why he is such a lone voice in the corporate media these days. We hope that we can get this to happen. Of course, we would not be able to without the strong local support and direct involvement we have within our Black leadership here in Tennessee for the election reform work we are all pursuing together.
