I may openly mock Kentucky as a way to get your dander up, but the obvious truth is that doing this now is clearly a step in the right direction. Just like Mississippi reopening that KKK case. Just the opposite of what Alabama is doing. See, that’s the kind of context that I wanted.

I don't know how much of it is available on line, but what the Herald-Leader did was try and memorialize the uncovered Civil Rights movement in Lexington now -- in a city that still grapples with race in a real way. I learned a hell of a lot from the follow-up stories to the piece and they've managed to preserve in ink forever a bunch of people's firsthand accounts and photographs that might otherwise have been part of the collective forgotten. And you know, I think it's pretty cool that the newsroom was willing to stir up some shit doing that. And I'm sure it created some interesting discussions about what similar issue they're not covering _now_. No, actually.

Still, what the hell? Isn't this kind of like the Church reopening the Gallileo case in the 1980s? Good point.
