Small mention; potentially big deal.

A quick blurb in the Courier-Journal earlier in the week probably didn't garner much attention. I'd like to think that's only because it was tucked into a list of several other news bytes.

I'd also like to think it might represent an opportunity to begin a more serious discussion of fulfilling our duties to each other, as previously outlined at NAC in the New Albanian's "It's never too late for a renewed civic commitment to human rights".

Mayor Doug England will have a town hall meeting next month at Jones Memorial AME Zion Church.

The meeting, announced by the church and the New Albany branch of the NAACP, is set for noon April 5 at 258 Ealy St.

For more information, contact Pastor O. Lacy Evans at (502) 643-0996.

If being heard is a human right, it means someone has to listen. Please consider joining me in that endeavor next Saturday.
