Ramsey Clark, former U.S. Attorney General and renowned international human rights attorney who stood against U.S. military aggression worldwide, died peacefully April 9 at his home in New York City, surrounded by close family. He was 93 years old.
As a pre-teen growing up in Albuquerque, I certainly knew his name and that he was attorney general. I could not imagine then that we would become friends, that I would have the honor of working with him and learning what a great humanitarian Ramsey Clark was.

YOUNGSTOWN Ernest Matthew Hight Sr., 90, passed away Thursday, March 4, 2021.
He was born in 1930 to parents Thomas and Josephine Brown Hight in McAndrews, Ky. In 1944, his family relocated to Williamson, W.Va., where he attended Liberty High School and graduated in 1949.
In 1950, he married Joanne Hairston and they relocated to Youngstown in 1952. Five children came from this glorious union and they also helped rear Joanne’s two younger brothers. They were married for 51 years when Joanne passed.
Ernest moved to Youngstown because of an opportunity to work for U.S. Steel. When he first moved there, he played AA baseball for the Buckeye Elks. He retired from U.S. Steel, but continued to be in the workforce throughout the years at Republic Steel, a convertible car plant in Austintown, as a bailiff for Judge Nathaniel Jones, and he ended his working years as a custodian at Cleveland Elementary School, where he retired at age 75.
