<br />Leona has recently met Gordon A. Martin, Jr., a retired trial judge, who has written <br />Count Them One <br />a book on the trial regarding the voting issue in Mississippi, “ <br />By One <br /> .” He lives in Newton <br />Black Mississipians Fighting for the Right to Vote <br />and is getting a lot of attention lately for this book by appearing on some TV <br />programs and public radio programs. Would it make sense to have a participant <br />who is able to address briefly one of the national laws that brought so many <br />northerners to the south? He could be there just to show/sell his books or he has a <br />9 minute video that he could show. Just something to think about. <br />Nancy has continued to have good luck in finding information about the Lexington <br />Civil rights Committee (LCRC) and the Lexington Commission on Suburban <br />Responsibility (LCSR) from the Lexington Minuteman Archives. She and Fuang <br />met at the Historical Society Archives to hopefully find more information and to <br />take better pictures of the newspaper articles. <br />thth <br />We will meet twice in June on the 13 and 27 alternating between Nancy and <br />Bob’s homes. <br />We continue with a list of things to do which will probably change in some way or <br />be added to as necessary. Some of these things have been done and some are yet <br />to do. <br />1. We have reviewed music which will have to be scripted and a few videos to <br />see how they can be used as we build our program to include a panel, <br />exhibits and music. <br />2. As mentioned, we are lining up speakers and invited guests for <br />consideration. As we can, invite each potential speaker to meet with the <br />planning committee <br />3. We are still looking for people who can share what they may remember <br />about the Civil Rights era here in Lexington regarding housing, education <br />and community relations. <br />4. Continue to develop promotional materials such as flyers, press releases, and <br />announcements to send to churches, organizations, newspapers and <br />computer sites such as Lexington Patch, the Lexington Minuteman, the <br />Boston Globe, the Banner, Colonial times (Laurie Atwater), List serves, and <br />LHRC PROJECT 2011 REPORT TO COMMITTEE -6/10/2011 Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
