Oklahoman, K. Joy Keast's Jun 26 letter, "Better Late Than
Never", to the Clarion Ledger concerning the Killen trial, laments, "the
general population of Mississippi was so ignorant and bigoted that they would
refuse to prosecute the crime of murder". K K (?) goes on to state
that for 40 years, she/he has been ashamed to
say she/he was born in Meridian.
I'm sure that all Mississippians would agree with KK that
they are also ashamed to say that she/he was born in
Meridian.
While KK is praying "for continued wisdom and
strength for the district attorney's office", she/he might oughta pray
that no one researches her/his Meridian family history, a family of whom KK
states, "never have I been ashamed of my family, because none of them would hurt
another human being".
KK, I'd be prepared to "adjust" my halo.
