Henry-Garrett responds to letter

Dear editor: Mr Lee’s deliberately inflammatory rhetoric does Eatonton no favors but makes its residents look like they are happy to live back in the 50’s. Are you all cringing fearfully in the face of “selfishly ambitious Blacks”? Is it only permissible for Whites to be “selfishly ambitious”?
