Local historian Everett Fly points to a cedar fence post on the northern boundary of the site of the Winters-Jackson cemetery, an African American graveyard on the northeast side that dates back to the late 1800s, on Thursday, May 31, 2018. In 1986, without consent, land developers removed the remains of 72 people from the private cemetery and reinterred them at nearby Holy Cross Cemetery.

Bill Clinton, James Patterson discuss collaborating on new mystery-thriller book
UPI News Service, 06/11/2021
President Bill Clinton and James Patterson say mutual admiration was key to their collaboration on a new mystery-thriller book.
ADVERTISEMENT The former president and the author, both 74, discussed working on the new mystery-thriller novel The President s Daughter during Thursday s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Clinton and Patterson released a first mystery-thriller book together, The President is Missing, in 2018, and released The President s Daughter this week.
On Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Clinton and Patterson said they first connected through their agent, Bob Barnett. We have the same lawyer-agent, and the president reads everything. He also reads a lot of mysteries, Patterson said.
In an era of political correctness, virtue signaling and woke-ness, wisdom is in such short supply that when discovered it stands out like a beacon in a storm.
