Lakeland, FL (PRWEB) December 17, 2022 -- Indie Atlantic Studios has optioned the documentary rights to the Pulitzer Prize winning author Gilbert King’s books
Fans of the late journalist Mabel Norris Reese, who in the 1950s and ’60s opposed segregation and injustice, would love to see her gain a place in the Florida Women’s Hall of Fame. A Central Florida coalition hopes the third time might be the charm for Reese to take her place on the Hall of Fame’s honorary wall in the Florida Capitol.
On March 18, the Orange County Regional History Center will honor determined journalist Mabel Norris Reese in an online event. In the 1950s and ’60s, Reese, who covered news in Lake County, courageously opposed segregation and injustice, at peril to her career and her safety. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Gilbert King tells the story in his 2018 book “Beneath a Ruthless Sun: A True Story of Violence, Race, and Justice Lost and Found,” which brought renewed attention to Reese’s career and importance.
